Marel’s proven OCM9500 box and crate labeler has been upgraded with a waterproof chassis and indicator to withstand full washdown to IP69K, subject to the printer being covered or removed. This labeller is the first full wash down machine in the market. To be introduced at Propak Cape in October, the waterproof OCM9500 box/crate labeler is suitable for automatic weighing and labeling applications in both wet and dry production environments. The unit handles crates and boxes up to 40kg in weight, providing consistent weighing accuracy with automatic zero tracking.
Speed is subject to box size and label print requirement, i.e. eurocrates of 600mm x 400mm size can be automatically weighed and labeled at speeds up to 35 units per minute. Labels can be applied as a standard to sides, top and leading edge of the box by a combination of up to 8 label applicators, including the printing of barcodes, best before dates, order details, product texts as well as warehouse tracking and traceability information. Long print head life contributes greatly to its low running costs. OCM9500 is fully approved throughout Europe and selected territories for use in weigh price labeling and checkweighing applications. Innova Integration is available for production control and reporting purposes to assist the packing and dispatch process.
The new OCM9500 complements Marel’s proven range of weigh price labelers, label applicators and checkweighing equipment for the food industry.
