Droptop in the Czech Republic needed a labelling solution for one of their customers packing fresh vegetables such as peppers and onions. The labels had to be applied to the bottom side of the packs.

The solution was based on a standard HM600 label applicator, which offered the flexibility needed for different product sizes. The solution proved to be a good fit for the application, and Droptop later chose the same solution again for the same end customer.

One less thing to worry about
For machine integrators, not every part of a project needs to become a custom development task.

That is one of the strengths of the HM600. It is a standard label applicator designed for a wide range of industrial applications and can be adapted to different labelling requirements.

In this case, it provided a straightforward way to handle bottom labelling without adding unnecessary complexity to the application.
Labels today. Variable information tomorrow.

The HM600 also leaves room for additional requirements.
A printer can be integrated ahead of the applicator, making it possible to print directly onto the label before application.

“A printer can easily be integrated ahead of the applicator, allowing the system to work with both pre-printed labels and variable information depending on the application. This gives the customer a flexible setup that can be adapted to different labelling requirements.”
- Jan Kondrup - Key Accounts & Export

This adds flexibility to the labelling setup without changing the basic application. And that can be valuable when requirements develop over time.

The best solution is often the one you already know
There is a tendency in engineering to look for the next new thing.
Sometimes that makes perfect sense.
But sometimes the real advantage is knowing that a component has already proven itself in the application.

Droptop has now purchased several HM600 systems for the same end customer.
For us, that says more than any product claim could.
They knew what they needed, they knew what worked, and so they came back for the same solution.
