Inkjet specialist Domino has launched the A300SE+ printer designed to print multiple lines on beverages. The new machine is due to be installed by a group of highly skilled mechanical engineers who between them have over 20 years experience
The machine is a new addition to the manufacturer’s A-Series continuous inkjet printers. The Duo option has the capability to print two lines of text at the speed of a single line or four lines at the speed of two.
Domino product director of continuous inkjet Nick Plaister said that the machine does not use 'ambient air for cooling'. He added that this protects it from long term damage.
'In environments like carbonated soft drink plants, the air is heavily laden with sugar and the inside of machines, including electronic circuitry, can get candy coated,' said Plaister. 'Over time, a layer can build up which potentially becomes conductive, meaning that the performance of the equipment can be impaired.'
The A3000SE+ can be used with remote touch panels and can be operated from different locations around the plant or directly from the machine control panel.
