Labeling Equipment Fluence Automation

RAPTOR HS The Raptor HS is a high-speed, linerless print-and-apply system, capable of labeling height variations of 36” at a rate of 70 ppm with 6” labels. Since the labeling process is often the limiting factor in production throughput, DCs would be able to improve the throughput of existing lines by using the Raptor HS, and new DCs could have fewer lines and/or fewer print-and-apply systems by utilizing the Raptor HS. Additionally, since it uses linerless labels, it is possible to utilize a label-on-label application approach to avoid packing slips.
