The Marchesini BL400 is a labeling machine — sometimes referred to as a label applicator — designed to apply self-adhesive labels to cartons at high speed within pharmaceutical and consumer goods packaging lines. Marchesini is a well-established Italian manufacturer with a long history of supplying automated packaging equipment, including cartoners, blister lines, and labeling systems, primarily to the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
This particular machine is a linear labeler built to a balcony construction, meaning the mechanical and electrical assemblies are arranged to allow clear, unobstructed access for format changes and maintenance. It can be integrated in-line with other packaging machinery or operated as a free-standing unit when fitted with appropriate carton infeed and outfeed devices. The frame and guards are finished in satin stainless steel, and the electrical cabinet is mounted directly on the machine board to keep the footprint compact. The balcony layout divides the machine into three distinct zones — operative, mechanical, and electrical — with an operator access depth of just 70 cm, which contributes to both ergonomics and safety.
Product transport is positive and pitch-controlled, meaning cartons are moved in fixed, timed increments rather than by friction alone, making the system inherently fail-safe. The automatic label unwinder includes an automatic label-changing system with keyboard-based setup and the ability to store multiple label format memories. Machine status and self-diagnostics are presented on a 6-inch colour touchscreen mounted on a swiveling arm, giving operators clear visibility from different working positions.
In terms of production capacity, the machine is rated at a maximum output of 400 pieces per minute, with label web speed variable from 0 to 50 m/min. Carton dimensions that can be handled span widths from 20 to 180 mm, heights from 15 to 120 mm, and lengths from 70 to 200 mm. Label (vignette) dimensions range from 20 to 60 mm in height and 15 to 80 mm in length, with a maximum reel diameter of 400 mm.
Electrical supply requirements are 380/220 V at 50 Hz, with an installed power of 4 kW. The machine also requires compressed air at 6 bar, with a consumption of 20 Nl/min. This is a used machine, manufactured in 2010, and is currently located in Italy.
