The new, electrically driven pallet labeller features a suite of smart technological enhancements that allow for safer operation and improved efficiency while reducing overall energy and air consumption compared with traditional pneumatic technology.
The new Mx350i-eP is part of Domino’s electric range of print and apply label applicators, which build on existing Mx-Series technology by delivering electrical applicators with motion paths in the horizontal and vertical planes to suit a wide range of product and palletising applications.
Domino said electrical applicators are a significant improvement from pneumatic applicator technologies that offer a substantial reduction in overall energy and factory air requirements.
The Mx350i-eP has been designed with new ‘intelligent’ technological enhancements that allow for operation without the need for additional safety guarding, allowing for seamless integration onto pallet labelling lines and easy operator access to the machine.
Features include an applicator arm, designed to reduce pinch points, and with built-in collision detection functionality to automatically stop and safely move away in the event of a collision or failure.
The Mx350i-eP is also said to be efficient thanks to its electrically driven applicator, which requires up to 40% less energy and up to 50% less factory air than previous generation pallet labellers.
Sharmil Ghouse, global head of TTO and P&A, Domino, said: “In the global logistics industry, where millions of pallets are shipped every day, the need for effective labelling for traceability and identification of products as they move through supply chains has never been greater.
“As demand for print and apply labelling continues to grow year on year, businesses are also prioritising sustainability, seeking energy-efficient pallet labelling technologies that align with their environmental goals while protecting worker safety, and enhancing operational efficiency – we have developed the Mx350i-eP with these demands in mind.”
Claes Lindh, senior business support manager, Domino: “Our trial customers have been very impressed and truly recognise the advantage of this safe, smart, and highly efficient technology. We’ve also showcased the Mx350i-eP at major trade shows across the US and Europe, where the feedback has been extremely positive.”
Additionally, Domino is also introducing a new print and apply unit for flexible box labelling – Mx351i-eC – featuring a flexible electric arm for corner-wrap, top, front, and rear labelling applications
