Reliable Coding Solutions to Ensure Consistent Product Quality and Line Efficiency
Illegible codes can cause a headache in case of a recall or for internal tracking purposes. And resulting line stops can reduce both product quality and line efficiency. Therefore – especially when working with perishable products – customers need a printer that combines rugged, industrial design with reliable operation and consistent print quality. Videojet’s coding and marking solutions are a standard in the food industry. More than 30 years of experience have led to a continuous improvement of Videojet’s industrial printers, resulting in the 1000 Line Small Character Printers, the IP DataFlex Plus, the 3000 Line Laser Printers and the 2300 Line Large Character Ink Jet Printer solutions.
Designed to Work in Different Production Environments
With their IP-rated housings and design for tough environments, Videojet printers are well-suited for the meat and poultry industry. Start-up and operation have been optimized to meet the requirements of cold and humid production environments, giving you consistent print quality and performance every day. Videojet’s integrated solutions team and close cooperation with leading OEM partners ensure seamless integration into new or existing production lines. Using Videojet’s CLARiNET® software enables printers to be networked for transmission of data and coding information. And with changing production requirements, our printers are lightweight enough to be moved easily from one line to another.
Predictable Maintenance Intervals
Your opinion counts – we call that “Voice of the Customer” or VOC. While talking to meat and poultry customers during VOC calls, we get the same message: we want a printer with low maintenance during operation, and long and predictable maintenance intervals. Videojet’s printers are designed to meet these requirements!
- The 1000 Line small character ink jet printers run for up to 12,000 hours of operation between preventive maintenance. The advanced Clean Flow printhead design and auto-cleaning printheads maximize uptime, ensuring consistent and sharp print quality and longer print runs.
- The Videojet DataFlex Plus and IP DataFlex Thermal Transfer Overprinters (TTO) deliver high resolution images on flexible packaging, while minimizing downtime and costs associated with ribbon breaks and production changeovers. The simple ribbon cassette design combined with the 1,000 meter ribbon length means less frequent and faster ribbon changes, increasing production line efficiency.
Uptime and Print Quality on a Variety of Products
Each product substrate has its own characteristic and challenges, therefore printer flexibility is a must. Videojet offers a variety of small and large character ink jet printers, thermal transfer printers and laser coders to deliver the optimum solution based on your application. A large selection of inks and ribbons provide excellent print quality on a large variety of different products. And units with different output power and modular options for our laser coders adapt them to code on various substrate surfaces. Here are a number of examples:
Flexible Plastic
Bags | Seals | Wraps
Corrugate
Corrugate | Shrink & Stretch Wrap
- Large Character Marking
- Label Printer Applicator
