Domino launches unique secondary coding solution at PPMA 2008

Domino Printing Sciences plc used PPMA 2008 to unveil a unique product addition to its C-Series portfolio of secondary coding technologies. The new adjacent side coding system – the C6000AS plus – with the capability to print on two or three sides of a case simultaneously, is a revolutionary product that responds to long term market demands for more efficient use of both equipment and production floor space.

Mike Hurst, Product Director for Outer Case Coding at Domino Printing Sciences, explains that the ability to print simultaneously on more than one face is something that the food industry in particular has long been looking for. “Business models in high volume retailing and wholesaling of food mean that several different sets of coded information may be required for the various transactions in the supply chain,” he says.

“Until now, these demands could only be met by complex installations involving multiple coding stations and turntables that require a large amount of floorspace for end-of-line operations.”

The C6000AS plus is as easy to retrofit on existing lines as it is to install on new lines, meaning that all producers can benefit from this unique, patent-applied-for technology.

With up to three coding operations synchronised via a single print head, C6000AS plus users can also benefit from easier set-up, faster production start-up and more efficient management of consumables.

The C6000AS plus belongs to Domino’s enhanced C-Series plus range of online coding solutions for outer case coding (OCC), which offers double the print performance and double the speed of any competing product. The range addresses market demands for increased efficiency on high speed lines – such as those in the food and beverage industry – while achieving a print resolution of 180 dpi at up to 60m per/min.

Products in the range also boast a clearer and more intuitive user interface, high-speed communications and Ethernet connectivity for easier integration by both end users and OEM’s and the lowest OCC power consumption on the market.

Printing high quality alphanumeric codes and graphics directly onto outer cases, C-Series plus coders contribute to increased overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), flexibility and profitability whilst meeting the compliance requirements of the whole supply chain.
