Description

Towa APF-30, Towa APF-60, Towa APF-100

The Towa APN Label Applicators are the industry leading hand-held label applicators. With a unique and patented adjustable sensor that detects the edge of round, oval or non-rectangular labels, it applies your labels with great precision to virtually any surface. Just squeeze the trigger and apply.

The Towa APF-30 label applicator is the perfect solution for applying PLU labels fast.

Towa applicators use an exclusive label edge detector called "Mech-Sensor system" which automatically detects the leading edge of the label providing complete accuracy in dispensing. Slide the mech sensor to the left or right until it is in the center of the label. Each of three applicators can dispense any type of label and requires no special liner tool, cartridges or cassettes. There are three types of APF applicators depending on width of the labels. APF-30 is easy to handle, APF-60 is the most popular and APF-100 is convenient for wide labels.
