Specialist pharmaceutical labelling company Newman Labelling Systems has supplied an S250 fully automatic labelling system to Merck Animal Health in Millsboro, Delaware, USA.
According to UK-based Newman, the S250 is sufficiently flexible for Merck Animal Health to label poultry vaccine products in a wide range of glass and plastic vials, from 3ml to 50ml, at speeds up to 250cpm, with a minimum of change parts.
Marianna Sowell, strategic sourcing analyst for Merck Animal Health, says: “The S250 machine was chosen because Newman provided the best value equipment which met all our user requirement specifications and fits within the space provided.”
The S250 – Merck Animal Health’s second system from Newman Labelling Systems – has been supplied with a high specification 1200mm diameter rotary infeed turntable to feed the vials into the labelling system, as well as a hot foil coder working in conjunction with a Systech OCV vision system for overprint inspection.
