Sausage Printing Solution-CYCJET C300-A Portable Inkjet Printer

Recently, a customer who is special in sausage production, feel that it was time to make its production process more efficient. One of the procedures the company decided to focus on was the way it marked its products. Since its product were food, the exp and mfg date on the sausage will be different day by day. Up to that time, the company had been using various industrial labels with all detail information of its products. However, the date and batch need to change day by day, which is fixed in the label. Unfortunately, frequent message changeovers and product changes proved the two-pronged coding approach to be extremely time-consuming and tedious. So a quicker, and more efficient method of coding is necessary for them.

Now, they use anindustrial portable inkjet printer C300-A from CYCJET to replace the original label, as well as print date and batch even a barcode directly on the sausage package.  An extremely versatile machine that allows replacing the label with inkjet coding.  One of the primary benefits of the system lies in the ink. The ink used in the CYCJET printer has high viscosity which makes it possible to print logo, barcode clearly and readably on plastic package directly. And the ink is quick-drying even on plastic package, as well as permanent, which is the customer most concern. The CYCJET printer also drastically reduced the time that it took to change a message. Because CYCJET software is now able to save pre-set messages in the printer, thanks to its message storage feature, message changes are now as simple as the touch of a few buttons.

Using on-line systems such as ink jet printers has proven to be a very efficient method since, as with the sausage, the message being printed on the sausage is variable. Also, the Series I printers have enabled the company to print fonts ranging from 1—18mm tall on the same line to make the message aesthetically appealing. Mr. Serge says he is very satisfied with the new on-line printing capabilities at the plant, saying the new systems are “much less labor-intensive” compared to the previous set-up. In addition to the helping increase productivity, Culinary Arts was decidedly pleased to have a single-source solution for both its small and large character coding needs.
