Linx Printing Technologies (www.linxglobal.com) is taking laser coding to new levels with the launch of a range of scribing laser coders, offering the most efficient production line solutions with no compromise on quality.
When it comes to packaging processed meat products it has to meet and exceed industry mandated hygiene requirements. Therefore, when it came to selecting a new carton lid closer to close their 3-flap style lid covers Monogram had to acquire a machine that can withstand caustic wash-down.
Many food and beverage companies carry a variety of pre-printed packages for their packaging lines – including flexible film, paperboard cartons and cases.
In a climate with increasing concerns regarding food quality, leading manufacturers use the latest in X-ray inspection technology to protect products, consumers and ultimately, their brands.

Ryson introduces the 1900-260, a high capacity spiral conveyor with a 10” wide slat surface. This model offers space saving with a smaller footprint, when throughput of the 16” and 20” wide slats is not required.
A food processor fills an average of 800 cans per minute with a wide range of products such as vegetables, fruit and soup. An important challenge for the company is ensuring that the code printed on the bottom of each can matches the product in the can. A mismatch runs the risk of creating an unhappy customer or, even worse, an allergic reaction. In the past, there were concerns that operators might accidentally set up the printer to generate the wrong code or that the printer used to apply the code on the can might fail to produce a readable code. These concerns have been overcome with the installation of a machine vision system that reads the code on the bottom of the can in just 60 milliseconds, enough time to reject cans with incorrect or unreadable codes. The vision system uses pattern matching to orient the code regardless of its radial position then uses optical character recognition to read the code and match it against the product currently being produced on the line.
