On-Line Multi-Head Egg Jet Printer- Model EJP

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

These coders are ideal for On-Line High Speed Coding on egg trays moving on conveyor (or on multi-track blister packing machines).

The message to be printed is very easily composed on its graphic display using the integrated complete QWERTY keyboard. The message can be upto 4 lines with a combination of small, medium or large characters from 1 mm to 17 mm in height along with LOGOs.

The Inking system consists of a simple disposable pre-mix ink cartridge using food grade porous or fast drying & indelible solvent-based inks (for porous and non-porous surfaces) which is just push fitted into its slot & immediately you can start printing.

The height of the print heads is then adjusted according to the height of the eggs in the trays & when the tray travels on the conveyor, the whole message is spray-printed onto all the eggs at high speed while it is in motion without touching it.

Supply Voltage	230 Vac ± 10%, 150 VA
Operating Range	5 to 45 deg. C, 10 – 90% RH non-condensing.
Printing Area	4 lines of 120 char each from 1 to 17 mm high.
Printing Speed	Max. 50 Meters / min. for 1 to 4 line printing.
Prints using	Piezo-electric print head for spraying ink.
Inking Medium	Disposable pre-mix ink in 200 ml. cartridge
Printing Medium	Water based inks (Red, Blue, etc.)
Impressions	Appx. 90 million char. of 2 mm per lit. of ink.
Dimensions	20X30X36 cm & 200X40X63 cm with stand.
Weight	15 Kgs for machine & 50 Kgs with conveyor.

Stainless steel rugged construction. All machine stands, product sensor with stand, print head stand included with the system. The print module is well protected & insulated in the Stainless steel tubular print head.

Graphic 128 X 64 backlit liquid crystal display & integrated QWERTY keyboard with Real time clock and calendar, expiry date, Bar Codes, LOGOs, serial nos. (counter) & storage of 9 messages of 4 lines each of 120 characters per line with facility for password lock.

Push fit disposable solvent / water based pre-mix ink cartridge for ease of use. Uses simple inks that do not require any mixing or viscosity adjustments whereas other printers use Methanol (M.E.K.) based highly toxic to humans & difficult to use inks.

Latest technology high speed 128 nozzle, 17 mm XAAR piezo-jet print head which is very high resolution & gives very high quality of print.

Instant startup within 1 minute for the first print & instant shutdown within 1 minute with print head cleaning. Other printers require upto 30 minutes for each of the procedures & require a trained engineer.

No air compressor, pumps, viscosity control units or mechanical parts, hence lower running cost & more reliability. Maintenance free compared to other printers, which have a lot of moving parts & filters, which can fail & need to be replaced. If there is a power failure, most printers require a major over haul by a trained engineer whereas this printer just starts printing as if nothing has happened.

The system is PC linkable via the COM (RS-232) port. The windows based FLEXICODE software allows for the control of the print layout and design and for downloading of LOGOs, Bar Codes, data, etc.
