High-speed cross-web labeling for food packaging
Streamline your packaging process with a high-speed labeling system designed for precision and adaptability, ensuring your products move efficiently from production to shelf without bottlenecks.

The GEA TiroLabel PLUS is a precision-engineered cross-web labeling system designed to seamlessly integrate with both GEA and non-GEA thermoforming packaging machines. This labeling solution enhances your production line by offering high-speed, automated labeling for various pack types, including MAP, vacuum, and skin packs. Its motor-driven application system ensures high throughput and superior precision, handling label widths of 130mm and 200mm at speeds of up to 50 strokes per minute. The system employs spring-loaded pins for precise label application, accommodating package height variations up to 35 mm. Its integration capabilities with GEA SmartControl ensure seamless operation and easy monitoring. Moreover, the TiroLabel PLUS features non-pneumatic technology, reducing compressed air consumption and offering optional zero downtime solutions to meet continuous production demands. Ideal for food packaging companies, this system is versatile for applications such as ready-to-eat meals, deli meats, dairy, and more, while promising efficient handling and minimal maintenance requirements.
