Vial labeling system
Model 4570 is a fully integrated, automatic labeling system that wraps labels onto vials; filled and capped vials exit a filler/capper standing vertically. A short discharge chute delivers the vials back-to-back to the labeling system and the vials transfer straight into the infeed chute of the labeling system.
