Batch Coding Machine
Batch Coding Machine
A Batch Coding Machine is an essential piece of equipment used in various industries for printing batch numbers, manufacturing dates, expiration dates, barcodes, logos, and other vital information on product packaging. It is commonly used in sectors such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals, where traceability and compliance with regulations are crucial.
Key Features:
- Precision Printing: Ensures accurate and clear printing of codes on a variety of surfaces like plastic, paper, metal, glass, and cartons.
- Versatility: Can print on a wide range of packaging materials and products, including bottles, pouches, boxes, and labels.
- User-Friendly Interface: Easy-to-operate controls with digital or manual settings for adjusting print parameters.
- High-Speed Operation: Capable of printing at high speeds, ideal for production lines that require efficiency and quick turnover.
- Low Maintenance: Designed for durability and ease of maintenance, reducing downtime in production.
- Different Printing Methods: Supports various coding technologies such as thermal inkjet, continuous inkjet, laser marking, and thermal transfer.
Types of Batch Coding Machines:
- Inkjet Batch Coding Machine: Uses inkjet technology for non-contact printing, suitable for high-speed production lines.
- Laser Batch Coding Machine: Utilizes a laser beam to etch or mark codes, known for its precision and permanence, especially on hard surfaces.
- Thermal Transfer Batch Coding Machine: Ideal for printing on flexible packaging, providing a high-quality print resolution.
- Hot Stamping Batch Coding Machine: Employs heat to transfer ink onto the surface, commonly used for packaging films.
Applications:
- Pharmaceuticals: Printing batch numbers, expiry dates, and manufacturing dates on medicine packaging.
- Food & Beverage: Used for coding expiry dates and batch numbers on bottles, cans, cartons, and flexible packaging.
- Cosmetics: Printing logos, barcodes, and regulatory information on cosmetic packaging.
- Industrial Products: Marking batch numbers and identification codes on machinery parts, cables, and other industrial goods.
Technical Specifications (Example for an Inkjet Model):
- Printing Speed: Up to 300 items per minute.
- Resolution: 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) for clear and legible codes.
- Printing Height: Adjustable up to 12.7 mm (for inkjet models).
- Ink Type: Solvent-based, water-based, or UV curable ink.
- Operating Temperature: Typically between 10°C to 45°C.
Batch coding machines enhance traceability, ensure compliance with industry standards, and streamline production by automating the coding process.
