Multivac Marketing & Inspection has developed a new direct web printer. The DP 245 for the X-line series traysealers operates at a fixed working height and automatically adjusts to differences in height.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201eWith this new process and IP65 protection, we are taking direct film printing to a new level,\u201c says Michael Reffke, Product Manager for Labelling Technology at Multivac<\/a> Marking & Inspection. Because: Even Trays with different product protrusions are labelled safely, reliably and precisely thanks to the new technical sophistication<\/strong>. The print position on the pack can be easily and conveniently adjusted using handwheels, so that batch changes require only minimal downtime.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The variable data, such as the best-before date or a batch number, is printed with the Multivac TIJ 10 using the thermal inkjet process. Print heights of up to 12.7 mm can be realised with one print head and, by using a second print head, even print heights of up to 25.4 mm. As the Printer fully integrated into the traysealer's operating terminal<\/strong> customers benefit from significant advantages in terms of efficient and reliable operation: to name just one example, the print layouts are saved in the traysealer recipe to ensure that the correct layout is always loaded.<\/p>

However, the new development is not only impressive in terms of efficiency, reliability and precision, but also in terms of cost-effectiveness and print quality: \u201eWe deliberately opted for the thermal inkjet process in order to offer our customers real added value in the long term,\u201c emphasises Reffke. With this printing technology, water is heated in the ink. This causes tiny bubbles to form explosively, forcing the ink droplets out of the nozzle. This allows print resolutions of up to 600 dpi, so that even the smallest characters, fonts or codes can be accurately reproduced.<\/strong> can be realised.<\/p>

In contrast to continuous inkjet printers, TIJ printers also work with printer cartridges with integrated print heads. The advantage: these are Easy and quick to change and, last but not least, low-maintenance<\/strong>. The new DP 245 is also available in an optional washdown version with protection class IP65, which allows wet cleaning of the traysealer including the direct web printer.<\/p>
