Technologies for traceability

Markem-Imaje, an industrial marking and coding specialist, exhibited at Ipack-Ima 2015 with a range of solutions dedicated to the agri-food and beverage sectors, with interactive demonstrations to illustrate for visitors the applications of the most outstanding products on show.

             
Inkjet. Multi-function, multi-support and user-friendly, the 9400 Series includes models 9410 (up to 4.4 m/s, 71 dpi) and 9450 (up to 6.6 m/s, 71 and 115 dpi), equipped with a color touchscreen and an intuitive interface displaying the main control functions in the operator’s language. Made from IP56 protection grade stainless steel (optionally IP66), these machines enable pressure jet cleaning and guarantee optimal functioning even in dusty environments. There is a wide selection of compatible codes (barcodes, Datamatrix, QR), as well as logos and alphanumeric texts. Unique codes used in marketing campaigns can also be modified.

Finally, a vision system called “Mark and Read” verifies production performance, signaling any defects on the display in real time and limiting wastage.
Laser. The SmartLase C350 HD, specifically designed for paper and carton, combines high coding speed with excellent print quality. Every message can contain up to 120 characters, reducing the risk of counterfeiting. The laser source offers approximately 30% more lifespan thanks to a reduced utilization rate. An integrated sensor in the head estimates the power of the laser to facilitate diagnosis. The system’s modular design facilitates maintenance.
