First full-featured HERMA 500 label applicator
Non-stop high speed
Prepared for marathon performance: the HERMA 500 offers a labeling rate of up to 200 meters a minute, synchronized with the product speed – including in non-stop operation. The key contributors to this performance include motorized winders, a loop unit and an integrated active cooling unit.

With motorized winders and a loop unit, the new HERMA 500 applies up to 2,000 labels a minute, synchronized with the product speed. For continuous duty, the optional active cooling unit maintains top performance with unrivalled precision and stability. HERMA is setting the latest benchmark for applicators as regards performance, connectivity, ease of use and quality.
The new HERMA 500 is a high-speed label applicator capable of operating continuously – 24 hours a day and seven days a week if necessary. Running at 200 meters or 2,000 labels a minute, synchronized with the product speed and an optional cooling unit, allows a hight throughput.
“Our HERMA 500 defines the latest benchmark for high-performance applications,” says Martin Kühl, head of the Labeling Machines Division of HERMA. “Users whose products are labeled at slower speeds can benefit in every respect from our new HERMA 500 as well. The base unit is always identical, so that the applicator consistently embodies excellent processing quality and reliability alongside user-friendly operation and special features for faster set-up.” Even those who apply labels at a rate of up to 50 m/min have a decisive advantage, explains Kühl, “Up to this speed, the HERMA 500 does not need motorized versions of the unwinder and rewinder, which gives users substantial cost benefits.” It also offers security of investment thanks to code-enabled functionality and performance upgrades. In other words, the user does not have to invest in a new applicator in order to obtain higher output or integrate a master encoder, which enables the device to be synchronized with the product speed.
Another unique offering for HERMA applicators is the Service Portal https://machines.herma.com, where customers can not only update the firmware and order replacement and wearing parts, but also configure the HERMA 500 including the stand – ready for integration – entirely according to their needs and wishes. “Thanks to the highly automated order procedure, we can ship the HERMA 500 within ten working days. It enables us to build the machines quickly and offer shortest response times in that industry,” comments Kühl.
Ready for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
The applicator is operated intuitively, just like a smartphone, from the 4.3” color touchscreen. The display is rotatable in 90° increments to ensure optimum visibility in any situation. Apart from these attributes, the HERMA 500 provides extensive and future-proof connectivity for the transition to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Besides an integrated web server, which can be accessed remotely as well, the new applicator features interfaces for connecting to higher-level controls by way of OPC Unified Architecture or Industrial Ethernet protocols. For users and operators alike, this results in more efficient control of production processes, which is crucial in the case of complex machine concepts in particular. Having obtained both UL and CSA listings, the HERMA 500 can be used without any limitations anywhere in the USA and Canada.
