An inkjet solution for harsh environments

Nimax offers the A520i inkjet printer by Domino, which guarantees maximum performance under even the most prohibitive working conditions.

Many packaging types pose complex problems. In particular, processes requiring extreme temperatures or the presence of syrups, sugars and washing stations are the greatest test of a marking system’s quality. In order to respond to these critical points, Domino has designed the A520i inkjet printer.
Based on the achievements made with the i-Tech range, this highly resistant printer has been designed and built for use in the harshest environments. Indeed, its stainless steel (316) body and perfectly sealed electronics (IP66) enable the A520i to operate even when subjected to a water pressure jet, enabling non-stop production.
These characteristics make the system particularly suited for use on the fastest bottling lines and in the presence of sugar syrups and washing stations.
Another reliability factor derives from an innovative plenum airflow cooling system that keeps the printer at the right operational temperature regardless of environmental conditions.

The A520i is thus designed to solve all the user’s problems, which is why the robust 316 stainless steel frame is designed for installation according to the specific necessities of the line, and the touch panel can be installed on the frame or elsewhere, depending on the operator’s position. The SureStart button makes it possible to leave the station after starting the system. The special print head, equipped with a sealed nozzle and automatic washing, guarantees consistent performance.

A green inkjet. A smart ink and maintenance management system reduces ink replacement by 90% compared to a conventional inkjet printer, while make-up consumption has been reduced to less than 1 ml per hour at 20 degrees. All this, in combination with the concern’s new inks, enable reducing a production’s environmental impact. Furthermore, software with an advanced energy use reduction system means the printer can automatically shut down when production is interrupted.
