Ventus X9+ – a versatile swing-arm applicator for changing labeling needs

Ventus X9+ is a new-generation print & apply labeling machine that automatically prints and applies labels to moving products or shipping units. Its pivoting application head follows the product surface, ensuring that each label adheres fully and securely. The same application head handles different label sizes without additional adjustments. Ventus X9+ is particularly well suited to production lines that process packages of different sizes and require varying label positions.

Ventus X9+ offers extensive application options: labels can be applied to the top, bottom, side, front or back of a product, as well as around a corner. Supported label sizes range from 25–150 mm in width and 40–255 mm in length. The machine can be installed in different orientations to suit the application, while PROFINET connectivity enables integration with production line controls and factory systems. Variable data can be printed on each label in real time.

Ventus X9+ is designed for ease of use. Its clear colour touchscreen guides operators in selecting the correct settings for different printing applications and displays the machine’s operating status. The multilingual user interface can be customised to customer requirements. The machine can also be controlled remotely over a network connection, making operation and monitoring easier.

Designed and manufactured in Finland by KLINGER Finland, Ventus X9+ is built for demanding production environments. High-quality components and a design that minimises maintenance needs support a long service life and production continuity. Its versatile application options make it a flexible solution for packaging lines and dispatch operations.

Available accessories include manually and electrically adjustable stands and various protective enclosures. An optional verification camera and reject station enable incorrectly labeled products to be identified and removed from the production line.
