Ventus X9 – fast and accurate swing-arm applicator

Ventus X9 is a new-generation print & apply labeling machine that automatically prints and applies labels to moving products or shipping units. Its turning 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 applications that require speed and accuracy.

Labels can be applied to the top, bottom or side of a product, and the machine can be installed in different orientations to suit the application. Supported label sizes range from 25–120 mm in width and 40–155 mm in length. Modern interfaces enable real-time printing of variable data on each label, while PROFINET connectivity makes integration with production line controls and factory systems straightforward.

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. The machine is suitable for a wide range of 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.
