LocDad-500 Pneumatic Date Coder: Precision and Reliability in Every Mark

Reliable Pneumatic Marking of Expiry Dates and Batch Codes on Labels.

Key Features of the LocDad-500 Date Coding Module.

Essential for Compliance in Food, Pharma & Cosmetic Packaging.

Rugged Pneumatic Drive for Consistent, High-Speed Imprinting.

In regulated industries, accurate and permanent date coding is not optional—it’s a legal and safety requirement. The LocDad-500 date coder provides a dependable, integrated solution for adding variable information directly onto labels during the application process. Its pneumatic operation ensures consistent force and clean imprinting at high line speeds, making it an indispensable accessory for compliant packaging operations.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pneumatic Drive for Unmatched Reliability: Utilizes compressed air for the marking action, ensuring consistent performance, fewer moving parts, and high resistance to harsh environments (dust, moisture, temperature variations) compared to some mechanical systems.

• Seamless Integration: Designed as a modular add-on, it easily mounts to Locus-Label™ series applicators and other labeling systems, synchronizing perfectly with the label application cycle.

• Clear, Legible Imprints: Produces sharp, smudge-resistant characters on paper, film, and foil labels using industry-standard, fast-drying inks (including FDA-compliant options for food contact).

• Quick and Easy Operation: Features a simple design for fast type changes (using pre-inked rollers, interchangeable type bands, or cartridges) and easy ink replenishment, minimizing production downtime.
