Weigh Price Labeller
Ishida WPL Weigh Price Labeller with Label Printer
Automatic weighing, price calculation and product labelling
The Ishida WPL (Weigh Price Labeller) is an automatic weighing and labelling system with an integrated label printer, designed for packaged products whose price is determined by weight.
The system combines dynamic weighing, price calculation, label printing and label application in a single process. This enables finished packs to be quickly and accurately prepared for further distribution and retail.
The Ishida weigh price labeller can be used for a wide range of fresh and frozen products, including meat, poultry, fish and seafood, dairy products, vegetables and fruit.
Key Benefits of the Ishida WPL
High throughput
The system can handle up to 100 packs per minute, depending on the size of the product and label. This makes the WPL suitable for high-speed automated packaging lines.
Lower printing costs
The use of direct thermal printing helps reduce operating costs compared with thermal transfer printing.
Precise label application
The WPL provides accurate and repeatable label positioning on each pack. The printer position can be adjusted, while fast product changeovers make it easier to handle different pack formats on a single production line.
Production flexibility
A single system can handle a variety of products. The WPL is also capable of labelling packs with uneven or varying surfaces.
Weighing and Labelling in Three Steps
The process is fully automatic and consists of three main stages:
1. Weighing
The packaged product is dynamically and accurately weighed as it passes through the system.
2. Price calculation
Based on the measured weight, the system automatically calculates the correct price of the product.
3. Label printing and application
The WPL prints a label containing information such as product weight, price and barcode, and then accurately applies it to the pack.
All three operations are carried out as part of one automated process.
