Grandpack S308: High-Speed Rotary Labeling Machine for Pharmaceutical and Medicine Bottles

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing landscape, speed and accuracy are not just advantages—they are non-negotiable requirements. This is especially true in industries like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, where product integrity and branding are paramount. For manufacturers seeking to enhance their production lines, the Grandpack S308 Rotary Labeling Machine represents a significant advancement in automation and precision. This isn't just a piece of equipment; it’s an integrated solution designed to deliver flawless results at breakneck speeds, addressing the most demanding challenges of modern production.

Unpacking the Fundamentals: What is the Principle of a Labeling Machine?

Before we delve into the S308’s specific features, it's helpful to understand the core mechanics of a modern labeling machine. Most high-speed labelers, like the S308, operate on a sophisticated principle that ensures perfect label application every time. The process begins with bottle feeding, where a screw separator and conveyor belt work in concert to precisely space each container. As the bottles enter the labeling station, a rotary turntable takes over. This rotating platform uses rollers and three-point positioning to securely hold and rotate each bottle as the label is peeled from its backing and applied with pinpoint accuracy. The machine’s integrated sensors detect the bottle’s position and synchronize the label’s release, ensuring the label adheres smoothly without wrinkles or bubbles. The S308's design, featuring a rotary roller turntable, guarantees accurate and stable high-speed labeling.

The Grandpack S308: Engineered for Unmatched Performance

The S308 is a testament to intelligent engineering, built to handle a variety of challenging labeling tasks with ease and confidence. Its design and operational features directly address common pain points in high-volume production.

Blazing Fast Performance for High-Volume Demands

Efficiency is the S308’s standout feature. With a remarkable continuous labeling speed of

500 pieces per minute, this machine is built for large-scale operations. This speed is maintained without compromising on quality, a feat made possible by the seamless interaction between its core components. The smooth, continuous operation ensures consistent output, making it a reliable workhorse for production lines that cannot afford downtime.

Pinpoint Precision for Flawless Results

When it comes to labeling, even a fraction of a millimeter can affect a product's aesthetic and scannability. The S308 achieves a labeling accuracy of

±0.5-1.0mm, depending on the bottle and label specifications. This high level of precision is guaranteed by the rotary turntable and its

three-point positioning system, which holds each bottle firmly in place during the labeling process. This meticulous attention to detail ensures every label is perfectly aligned, contributing to a professional and trustworthy product appearance.

Grandpack S308 Advantages: Intelligent Features That Make a Difference

The S308 is packed with intelligent features that go beyond basic labeling, offering comprehensive control and enhanced functionality. These features are why many companies are choosing the S308 as their preferred Grand labeling machine.

Smart Material Handling for Unstable Products

One of the most challenging aspects of labeling small containers, such as ampoules and vials, is their instability on a traditional conveyor belt. The S308 overcomes this with a specialized design. It uses a

vertical transport system and a screw separator to handle small, round materials that are unstable when standing. This ensures that even the most delicate and tiny bottles are fed smoothly and securely into the labeling station, preventing jams and damage.

Comprehensive Quality Control and Rejection

Maintaining product quality is paramount, and the S308 is equipped to handle it autonomously. An intelligent vision inspection system provides a range of detection functions, including

labeling detection, missing code detection, and print content verification. If any inconsistencies are found, a

star-wheel rejection device ensures that defective products are accurately detected and systematically removed from the high-speed line. This automated quality control system is crucial for regulatory compliance and brand reputation.

Seamless Integration and Optional Customization

The S308 is not a standalone piece of equipment; it's a modular system designed for a complete production line. It can be equipped with an optional

hot stamping printer, thermal transfer printer, or inkjet coder to complete coding and labeling tasks simultaneously. Furthermore, the system provides real-time monitoring and alarm information on the status of connected equipment, offering a transparent and easily manageable production process.

The Ideal Choice for a High-Performance Pharmaceutical Labeling Machine

The S308’s capabilities make it an ideal pharmaceutical labeling machine. The machine is specifically designed for high-speed, accurate labeling of ampoules, vials, and other small round bottles. This versatility is critical in the pharmaceutical industry, where a wide range of product sizes must be handled with the utmost precision. The star-wheel rejection system, in particular, is invaluable in this sector, as it guarantees that all products leaving the line are correctly labeled and coded, which is essential for traceability and patient safety.

The Versatility of a Top-Tier Round Bottle Labeling Machine

While the S308 excels in the pharmaceutical sector, its design principles make it a highly versatile round bottle labeling machine suitable for a broad range of industries. The machine’s ability to handle bottles with diameters from

Φ10-30mm means it can accommodate a vast array of products, from essential oils and fragrances to small nutritional supplements and food additives. For changes in bottle diameter, a new screw and turntable may be required.

Conclusion

The Grandpack S308 rotary labeling machine sets a new benchmark for high-speed, precise, and intelligent labeling solutions. Its advanced features, including the unique vertical transport system, comprehensive vision inspection, and impressive labeling speed, make it a powerhouse on any production line. For businesses that cannot compromise on quality or efficiency, the S308 offers a reliable and future-proof solution.
