CA 2557744

An apparatus and method are provided for automatically labelling individual produce items. Individual produce items are conveyed towards a rotary bellows or other applicator. A sensor senses at least one variable characteristic, such as size of each of the produce items. The sensed variate is transmitted to a laser coding device and a variable human or machine readable code is printed on an individual label prior to application of that label to the specific item of produce for which the variable characteristic was sensed. The laser coding beam either reacts with a reactive or ablatable film on each label.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé destinés à l'étiquetage automatique de produits alimentaires individuels. Ces produits alimentaires individuels sont acheminés vers un soufflet rotatif ou tout autre applicateur. Un capteur détecte au moins une caractéristique quelconque, telle que la taille de chacun des produits alimentaires. La variable détectée est transmise à un dispositif de codage laser et un code lisible par un humain ou par une machine est imprimé sur l'étiquette individuelle avant que celle-ci ne soit appliquée sur le produit alimentaire spécifique. Le faisceau de codage laser réagit avec une pellicule réactive ou pouvant être enlevée sur chaque étiquette.
