Newman Labelling Systems has supplied a S150 fully automatic labelling system to Bioforce in Scotland, to label a range of traditional herbal remedies including Echinaforce Echinacea Drops, which are sold around the world.
London-headquartered Newman Labelling says the S150 is designed for maximum versatility, offering the capability to apply paper and clear self-adhesive labels to a wide range of products, including cylindrical, rectangular or square containers from 10mm dia. to 150mm dia. in glass, plastic, metal or composite materials.
Outputting at up to 150cpm, the system is said to require “virtually no change parts”.
Bioforce has reported an increase in output on the line, with “minimal disruption”. “Newman has been very supportive and helped us a lot with the new installation,” says Bioforce production & operations manager Michael Stokoe.
“The benefits are the set up and changeovers are almost the same as the older machine [a refurbished Newman 5FL] so we took to it easily.”
Newman Labelling Systems is a leading manufacturer of specialised labelling machines for the pharmaceutical industry, with a customer base that includes the world’s top ten pharmaceutical companies.
