ILAS

Overview

The Hobart ILAS is an Indexer Label Applier, a label printing and applying unit for meat packing and wrapping lines. The unit covered on this page is offered as a complete working package: the ILAS with its meat packing/wrapping conveyor, stand table and label printer, all carried under one model designation — make: Hobart, model: ILAS, serial number 31-1209-519. According to the listing, the equipment worked when it was removed from a closing business and has been cleaned cosmetically; the published photos show the actual condition.

This example is listed on the used equipment market on a make-an-offer basis, so pricing is set by negotiation rather than a fixed published price.

Applications

The ILAS belongs in meat packing and wrapping operations — the use named in the listing — where the wrapping conveyor, stand table, label printer and label applier work together as one package. In Hobart's own parts documentation, the same hardware family serves prepack weighing and labeling: the EPSA-1/EPSA-2 scales weigh, the EPCP-1 console runs the session, and the EPP-1 printer produces the label the ILA applies. The catalog's EPROM listing for Ultima and UWS weighers used with the EPP printer shows the printer also serving those related weigh units.

Related Hobart meat-room machines that appear in the same used equipment listings — named here once for reference — include the Hobart meat wrapping conveyor machine on a free stand with label printer press shelf, the heavy-duty commercial meat/deli tray wrapping machine with label printer, the auto meat wrapping machine with scale and printer, the heavy-duty commercial digital meat/deli wrapping machine with label printer, and the Hobart electric Ultima digital deli meat wrapping package machine with cutting board and label printer.
