Coding on Food
Marking directly on food items is a unique challenge due to
the need for food safety, ink composition, and ensuring that the print quality
adheres to regulations.
Food-Grade Inks: KGK CIJ printers can use food-safe,
non-toxic inks that are compliant with food safety standards, ensuring that any
direct contact with food does not compromise consumer safety.
High-Speed Printing: CIJ technology enables printing
at high speeds, making it suitable for high-volume production lines in the food
industry. These printers can handle fast-moving conveyors without sacrificing
print quality.
Versatile Substrate Compatibility: KGK Jet CIJ
printers can print on a variety of surfaces, including direct printing on food
items such as eggs, fruits, vegetables, and more. They can also mark on
packaging materials like plastic, glass, cardboard, and metal.
Non-Contact Printing: The non-contact nature of CIJ
technology is especially important for delicate food products, as it allows
printing without damaging the surface of the item.
High Durability in Harsh Conditions: Food production
environments often involve moisture, dust, or extreme temperatures. KGK Jet CIJ
printers are designed to operate efficiently in such conditions, ensuring
reliable performance and minimal downtime.
Minimal Maintenance: These printers are designed to
minimize downtime thanks to Nozzle Capping Technology which prevents nozzle
contamination and significantly reduce head cleaning which is critical in
fast-paced production environments.
Cost-Efficiency: Continuous inkjet printers use
minimal amounts of ink, making them an economical choice for industries with
high throughput.
Applications in the Food Industry:
- Egg
Marking: Printing batch codes, farm identification, and expiration
dates on individual eggs.
- Fruit
and Vegetable Coding: Direct printing on the surface of fruits and
vegetables without damaging the skin.
- Confectionery
& Bakery: Marking on food products or their packaging, including
chocolates, candy, bread, and more.
- Dairy:
Printing expiration dates, batch numbers, and branding on dairy
products and packaging.
