TAKE-A-LABEL TAL-450-SS Stainless Steel Electric Label Dispenser (with Photo Eye)

The TAL-450-SS is the stainless steel model of the 450 series for those environments where there is high humidity and moisture (which can destroy the steel units) or where harsh chemicals may need to be used to clean.

If you are interested in customizing the base model with more than one add-on you must call in your order at (330) 334-6406 to discuss your needs with a service representative.

General Overview:

The exterior of these machines are made completely out of stainless steel, aluminum and plastic and design for the medical field, dairy and food industries.  These machines provide the power and performance necessary for the most demanding applications.  The open peel plate design allows the user to run multiple labels on a common web to increase speed, while reducing label cost, while also creating a vertical dispense and barrier free area to quickly remove labels.

• Label Roll Diameter up to 12"

Motor Options:

• Standard Motor: the standard unit motor has a dispensing speed of just under 4" per second.  The drive of the motor is the waste shaft, so as the waste accumulates, the gear ratio changes, and the motor will begin to speed up.  Please be aware that standard unit motors will overheat after ~25 minutes of continuous run time.
• High-Speed Motor: the high-speed motor allows the user to set the speed from 0-9" per second.  This motor is a DC motor that is rated for continuous use forever.
• Constant Speed Motor: this motor uses the same drive system found on the Take-A-Label applicators which allows the dispensing speed to remain the same throughout use - this is found to be important in applications where there is a robot grabbing the labels off, or if there is a need to print on a label and the speed of the label cannot change over time (as seen with the standard motor)  
  • Smart Jet Inkjet Printer: the Smart jet Inkjet Printer is an optional printer that can be added to the constant speed motor unit.  This printer will print on virtually any label stock.  This printer is a great solution when you need to add an expiration date, a batch code or other information to a label prior to application.  Using a wireless keyboard the printer is easily programmed.  Using trusted Hewlett Packard technology and capable of printing up to 6 lines of information the Smart Jet Inkjet is a great solution for coding your label.  Printer only prints while the label roll is moving.

Optional Add-Ons:

• 18" Roll Adapter (Stainless Steel Version):  use this if you are using a roll of labels that has up to an 18" diameter.  The base model has a maximum roll diameter of 12".

• Fan Fold Adapter:  this adapter allows for use of fan folded labels.  This adapter can be taken on and off with the original setup.

• Heavy Duty Cooling Fan:  this fan is mounted on the underside of the housing and is designed to run whenever the unit is "on."  The motor also still has its standard fan, but that only runs when the motor is going.  This add-on is ideal for hot work environments and/or for units that are planned to be in constant use.

• Label Counter:  this add-on allows the user to have a the labels used to be counted.
