The AG2000-ZX print&apply solution is based on the same applicator arm like the AG2000 has. It is a system for batch labelling. The roll-on applicator head labels the top- and right side of products forwarded on e.g. a conveyor belt. The width, respectively the height of the products in one batch needs to be more or less the same but the foam rubber roller does enable the labeling of irregular shaped objects such as vacuum packed fish, bread in bags and wrap packed vegetables. The AG2000-ZX solution uses the powerful ZX1000i printer series and therefore allows for higher conveyor belt speeds than the AG2000 does. The applicator part exists of a control unit and three main mechanical parts: a bracket that supports the printer and holds the diverter pulleys, a heightadjustable applicator arm to easily adjust to various box- and product sizes, and a ventilator unit. The diverter pulleys and the ventilator unit can be adjusted to suit particular label sizes. The crucial advantage of having the the ventilator unit is no need to synchronise the printer and the conveyor belt. In addition the ventilator’s capacity can be tuned to meet the specific weight, length and “memory effect” of the labels that are used.
In order to provide a ready-to-use and easy installable solution, Godex offers all items you need to complete your system. These items are listed below here under “accessoiries”. Drawings and specifications can be found in the GoDEX applicator catalogue. The AG2000-ZX is arguably the most powerful print&apply solution in its class and thanks to its relatively low cost it renders an excellent return on investment. The complete system, including all items to install it on site, such as floor stand and tubes, fits in just one box. This greatly reduces the transportation costs compared to shipping on a pallet, which is usually required for this kind of solutions. The printer comes in a second box.
