| Batch Coding Machines |
If you are going to establish an industry involving packing of food items and beverages, or if you are joining one as a floor manager, you must have knowledge of the various code printing machines used to printing the details on the packing of the item. These details include batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, retail price etc. Sometimes certain offers and schemes are available with these products which need additional information to be printed on them. For all these printing applications, special printing machines are to be installed in industries.
The batch coding machines are the equipments that dispense and apply the printing information on to the products’ cover or container. Depending upon the material used to make these covers, a suitable machine is selected. Some items are packed in fiber drums, metal cans, glass containers, plastic packages or laminated paper packs. The labeling machine must be able to print on the kind of package being used.
The coding machines can be of three main types:
- Automatic machines
- Semi automatic machines
- Manually operated machines
Many industries use automatic label machines as they are to be used to dispense on various types of packages, bottles and jars. These work with the help of an applicator, a conveyor belt to move the product and a centralized control system. Semi automatic machines are preferred in case the printing label is to be frequently changed or adjusted. These need an operating person for the feeding process. Manually operated machines are the most suitable ones to be used in small scale industries. These industries have less work load and thus hand operated machines are suitable for the purpose of printing labels. These machines need an operator for both feeding the items and printing the information.
Due to the variability in the codes to be printed on items, the coding machines are available in various sizes and capacities. One more thing on which the selection of a suitable coding machine is dependent is the shape of the package. Special coding machines are used to write on the curved surfaces such as bottles and cans. Before selecting batch coding machines for your company, you will have to take care of all these things. It totally depends on the product you are manufacturing and the type of packing it is put in to choose a marking machine for it. If the information you need to print on your product can vary from time to time, you must ask for the availability of this function in the machine before you buy it.
With a proper care and regular maintenance of these machines, these can provide you long lasting service. While purchasing one, you should ask for all the instructions to be followed to use them. You must also ask about the safety measures that can be taken during their use and precautions to be taken in case of any accidental situations to provide a safe working environment to its operators. Regular maintenance of these machines is very important to ensure their proper and efficient functioning.
