Print and apply systems Hermes C
for printing with two colors

Print labels with two colors and apply them in real time

Hermes C is the world's first system for printing labels with two colors and applying them right after. It has been designed in particular for applications according to GHS.

Integral retraction enables individual labels be printed and applied on demand without loss.

All shapes of containers can be labeled, such as bottles, cans, barrels, buckets, cardboard boxes or pallets.

A modular system provides solutions for any application.

Hermes C - two-color print and apply system

Two-color print and apply system Hermes Cvergrößern

  • Designed for industrial operation
  • Easy to install in production lines
  • Interface-based access to ERP and process control systems

For the labeling of chemicals and hazardous substances GHS and REACH demand standardized pictograms. The directives apply worldwide. Hazard symbols, such as empty diamonds, are not permitted.

Hermes C enables individual labels be designed and printed.

cab supplies labels and ribbons for Hermes C applications, certified to BS5609/3, if required.

Anwenderbericht TFL

" GHS demanded two-color printing. For us it was important that the bags and barrels are labeled directly in the line taking into account the product speed respectively the speed of the conveyor belt."

Daniel Jardot, General Manager of TFL France

Hermes C details1 Graphic display
White backlighting enables good legibility. Depending on the installation, the display can be rotated in steps of 90°.

2 Navigator pad
In addition to the display, it enables simple menu control. The day-and-night design only features operable positions.

3 Ribbon retainer
Replacing a ribbon is no big deal thanks to three-part clamping axles.

4 Metal chassis
Resistance to torsion facilitates component assembly. Made of cast aluminum

5 Print positioning
It is implemented automatically after a new roll of labels has been inserted. Reference values remain intact even when a unit is switched off.

6 Print heads 1 and 2
Select pressing force according to the width of a label.

7 Automatic ribbon saving
Print head 1 is lifted along unprinted spots of a label and the ribbon is stopped while such labels are fed.

8 Pulling system
Ball-bearing transport rollers enable accurate print images.

9 Label unwinder
A swing arm and an integral brake enable labels be unwound at constant force.

10 Liner rewinder
Subsequent to all the labels been dispensed, the entire liner tape is rewound. Rolls can be removed easily on the basis of an expanding axle.

11 Cover
It can be assembled to prevent from dust or damage.
