ILS FlexWipe meets growing demand for, safe, reliable
pallet labelling – no matter what the temperature
is seeing strong demand for its FlexWipe pallet labelling system. The combination of a small footprint, fast operation and market-leading safety standards together with the ability to work across a wide variety of temperatures down to -28°C have revolutionised pallet labelling and made it a firm favourite with customers. To date ILS has installed over 80 FlexWipe
P
systems across Europe, USA and Australia and is continuing to see demand grow in the past 18 months, particularly in the cold storage sector. Customers include NewCold and Lineage Logistics who have over 40 FlexWipe systems operating between them. The robust design of the FlexWipe applicator
means it is capable of operating in ultra-cold climates, without the need for additional heaters or special cabinets. Working with varying pallet surfaces – uneven, rough, or cold – the FlexWipe “wipes” accurately over the label after it has been tapered, ensuring labels stick even under the poorest adherence conditions.
