Koch Equipment LLC Introduces New Portable Matrix Express In-Line Labeler

According to Steve Kingeter, vice president of sales and marketing, “Packagers and processors will be amazed by the unmatched speed, precision and versatility delivered by the Matrix Express.

08/09/06 Koch Equipment LLC announced today their newly manufactured portable Matrix Express in-line labeling machine that enables operators to easily position the labeler anywhere in their packaging line to apply virtually any size pressure-sensitive label, such as IRCs (instant redeemable coupons) and primary and nutritional labels to the tops of boxes and packages.

According to Steve Kingeter, vice president of sales and marketing, “Packagers and processors will be amazed by the unmatched speed, precision and versatility delivered by the Matrix Express. It is ideal for labeling the tops of boxes and packages and is designed with a removable base, which gives operators the option to either position the labeler anywhere along their packaging line or mount the labeling head onto an existing conveyor.”

Kingeter continued, “Just like our Matrix Film and Package Labeler, the Matrix Express also features an innovative, open and easy access design combined with angled and rounded surfaces to promote water runoff. Manufactured from stainless steel and machined PET-P and Delrin materials, the Matrix Express is easily cleanable and offers almost all of its surfaces visible for inspection.”

Jim Harte, chief engineer, added, “When we were designing the Matrix Express, our goals included the delivery of a cost-effective, flexible labeling solution that would reduce direct labor costs, improve production efficiency and improve sanitation and hygiene capability. We achieved that and more and are already planning several enhancements to add even more versatility to this incredible labeling machine.”
