The Titan Labeler

A new ultra-fast linear labeling system with a top labeling rate of 450 bottles per minute (bpm) is being introduced to the U.S. market by Harland America Inc. The system, called the Titan, securely applies pressure-sensitive front and back labels to glass or plastic bottles/containers. Products of virtually any shape and in a wide range of sizes can be labeled.

The Titan labeling system is designed to meet the demanding speed, accuracy and reliability requirements of pharmaceutical, health and beauty product, and food and beverage labeling applications.

With a top speed of 450 bpm, Titan is among the fastest linear pressure-sensitive labeling systems available on the market. The system combines the high labeling speeds typical of rotary labelers with the versatility usually found in linear labeling systems.

High Accuracy, Smooth Label Application

The Titan labeling system is custom-built to fit specific customer requirements and integrate into existing production and packaging lines. The system consists of a main unit constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel, a single or twin in-feed screw unit, and up to four labeling stations.

The Titan's flexible design accommodates both conventional and advanced labeling heads, allowing efective high-speed application of ultra-thin film labels. The system applies pressure-sensitive labels in lengths from .3937 to 12.9921 inches (min-max label length 10mm - 330mm) and widths from .0512 to 12.0078 inches (min-max web width 13mm - 305mm). A fully integrated inspection/vision feature detects label presence and verifies label alignment and positioning on targeted containers. Maximum labeling accuracy is +/- 1mm, depending on container type and labeling speed.
