ABSTRACT:
A labeling apparatus is provided. The labeling apparatus includes a detachable label cassette which presents labels to be attached to fruit and/or vegetables and a label applicator which receives the label and applies it to the fruit and/or vegetables. Label strip is pulled off the label cassette by a label drive mechanism and the movement of the applicator is driven by an applicator drive mechanism both of which include stepper motor drives. A control arrangement controls both the label drive mechanism and the applicator drive mechanism and the control arrangement includes a memory device which stores parameters relating to different labels. The use of stepper motors in the drives and the use of a memory in the control arrangement makes it possible to provide for automatic set up on initiation or label change.
