Small character inkjet printer has a high share of the entire automated marking equipment industry

The small character inkjet printer has a very high share in the entire automated marking equipment industry, especially in the egg coding and marking industry. More than 80% of egg production and processing companies will use small character inkjet printers for online assignment of eggs. code. For consumers, food safety is of paramount importance. The coded eggs represent a more high-end and more assured brand protection. This is also true in the market. The coded eggs are often more expensive than ordinary eggs. high. With the popularity of egg coding, more and more egg suppliers are adopting coding methods to increase brand value, allowing consumers to better understand the types and brand names of eggs, increasing premiums and increasing purchase rates. Advantages and disadvantages of small character inkjet printers in the egg marking industry: 1. Low purchase cost. A small character inkjet printer can be bought at a price of about 20,000 yuan, while a multi-nozzle high-resolution inkjet printer that can be used in the egg industry (generally needs to be equipped with 5-6 nozzles) often exceeds 30,000 yuan. In addition, while purchasing the inkjet printer, we also need to pay attention to whether the price of the automated assembly line is acceptable. The purchase of supporting equipment will also directly affect the efficiency and overall cost of egg inkjet coding. For example, a conveyor belt with egg holes (supports the placement of eggs and duck eggs one by one, and online coding), or a wider conveyor belt that can hold a whole tray, and the whole pallet is online coding (suitable for multi-nozzle thermal foam printing). Machine), there is also a frequency conversion conveyor belt that can realize stepping with one go and one stop. Of course, there are also the cost of consumables (including the cost of environmentally friendly inks, solvents, cleaning agents and other consumables that are used daily), maintenance costs (the cost of regularly cleaning the ink circuit and replacing filters). These factors lead to the final price difference. Get bigger. 2. Long comprehensive service life. A small character inkjet printer (using core imported components) can have a service life of more than 10 years. During normal use, we only need a small amount of maintenance. Compared with other inkjet printing equipment, it has stronger application scenarios. Ability and longer use time. A thermal foaming inkjet printer (a multi-nozzle device suitable for use in the egg marking industry) can have a service life of more than 5 years, because its vulnerable parts are also very few, and the main components are relatively simple, only the circuit control system and signal content The transmission line and the print head are updated in real time following the update of the ink cartridge, which is more advantageous than the small character inkjet printer. 3. The degree of automation is low and the relative efficiency is low. Compared with the thermal foaming inkjet printer with multiple nozzles, the small-character inkjet printer uses a relatively traditional printing method, usually with a conveyor belt for coding. The number of inkjet codes per hour is about 100, and the multi-nozzle equipment can reach 500. About. When we choose, we must also comprehensively consider the production capacity and manpower of our own factory. If the output is small, considering the cost, of course, we can choose a small-character inkjet printer. If the output is large and the degree of automation is high, then use heat generation. Bubble coding equipment is more suitable. 4. Simple operation, less maintenance and more convenient. The small-character inkjet printer only needs to use one nozzle for printing, usually on an assembly line or an automated moving mechanism for non-contact continuous coding, and the structure is simpler. Through the analysis of the application of small character inkjet printers in the egg industry, we can see that this type of equipment and other applicable equipment are still very different in principle, use, maintenance, and later. There are also issues such as clarity and environmental protection. In the egg labeling industry, there is no standard. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom of the topic, which will vary according to the internal standards of the factory. With the popularization of two-dimensional codes and one code for one item, traceability has become a common development direction for food. In order to achieve the construction of a traceability system architecture, coding has become an infrastructure. The need to print readable QR codes on eggs has become urgent. If you want to achieve high scanning recognition, high resolution is the future development direction. Through the implementation of system + software + hardware, Yuan can complete the retrospective coding of eggs in one-stop.
