Our Take: We’ve put the PL-501 through the ringer so you don’t have to. After years of running these units through millions of cycles, the bottom line is: the PL501 shows up every day. While other labelers struggle with environmental changes or high-volume fatigue, this unit offers unmatched reliability and ease-of-use across a variety of applications.

Reliable labeling shouldn't be a luxury. We consider this machine the gold standard for round containers because it’s built with high-grade 304 stainless steel and anodized aluminum to survive harsh environments and 24/7 schedules. If you’re tired of machines that need constant "babysitting" or deal with the dreaded "naked bottle" reaching your customers, the PL-501 is the upgrade your line needs. It’s fast, it’s durable, and most importantly, it’s proven.

Upstream Automation

The PL501 is one of the most versatile units on the market. Fast enough to keep up with high-speed fillers and sealers, we recommend this unit for all fully-automated lines for round containers.

Downstream Automation

The PL501 can be a standalone unit, at the end of the line or a transition to other downstream processes. Finished products can be packed out directly from the the PL501’s conveyor, but with the addition of a rotary accumulation table, your team will have ample time to pack cases with ease. Add downstream automation including case packers for increased automation at any time!
