A healthy labelling session
Sessions of York has installed its Multi-Track Cross Web Labeller at a facility belonging to UK healthcare company Vernon-Carus to apply self-adhesive labels to meet traceability requirements. The Multi-Track Cross Web Labeller comprises two labelling units mounted side-by-side. A doubled-headed machine, it has one shared dispensing beak that feeds labels in a pre-determined format onto the cross web transport conveyor, which is PLC-linked to the primary conveyor.

The dual track configuration of the system means that the number of labels placed during indexing pauses is increased with the products to be labelled and the pattern in which they are conveyed can be quickly and easily changed.
Labels are applied firmly but gently by the "kiss touch" method to provide adhesion without the risk of damage. Furthermore, the Multi-Track's software program allows a large number of label formation combinations to be instantly and easily selected and printed on to "piggyback" labels.
"Sessions specifically designed the Multi-Track to work on all four of our lines, so it is extremely flexible and easy to use and move around," said a spokesperson for Vernon-Carus. "Sessions provided us with a first-class labelling applicator and excellent quality piggyback labels. The piggyback labels are used when all or part of the label needs to be re-applied elsewhere, onto patient's notes for example."
