Sustainability at Onitex

Sustainability is built into the machine itself. Here are some of the engineering decisions that make a difference throughout its lifecycle.

Built to stay in production

Durable mechanical design, replaceable industrial components and continued technical support help extend the useful life of every Onitex machine.

Upgrade instead of replace

Modular machines can be expanded with additional labelling functions, printers, sensors and handling modules as production requirements change. Customers can upgrade an existing system instead of replacing the complete machine.

Less waste during production

Fast changeovers and precise label control help reduce setup rejects, unused labels and liner waste. Digital instructions also reduce reliance on printed manuals.

Energy Efficiency

Onitex machines operate from a standard power outlet and require remarkably little electricity.

Our X50 tabletop labelling machine consumes less than 150 W, while a complete wrap-around labelling machine typically uses less than 300 W - less than the graphics card in a high-performance desktop computer.
‍
Load-adaptive stepper drives further improve efficiency by automatically adjusting motor current to the actual operating load instead of continuously running at maximum power.

Waste Reduction

We implement waste-reduction strategies in our manufacturing processes, recycling and reusing materials whenever possible.

Resource conservation factors:

• Our equipment has built-in instructions, which means paperless document flow. This reduces paper use as well as storage and handling costs.
• Minimum label refill length and quick equipment reconfiguration to reduce liner waste. This capability of our equipment allows for the use of less material in producing each label.
• Ability to maintain client premises without changes (additional reconstruction) due to the compactness of our equipment, as well as the option of installing wheels.
