This modern, mobile coding machine is suitable for hot-foil printing
or debossing of cartons or
thermally sensitive materials with batch numbers, expiry dates and
other information.
The machine comprises a stainless steel cabinet,
which supports the drive motor and carton transfer
assemblies. It also supports the coding head, which
comprises a Graseby Allen Hot Foil Coder.
The Allen Coder is infinitely adjustable lengthways
and sideways enabling it to code almost anywhere
on the Cartons.
It is currently fitted with a coding block suitable for
up to 5 rows of information. The maximum print
area of this block is 60 mm long x 30 mm wide.
The machine can handle Cartons within the
following size ranges:
Minimum 80 x 30 mm
Maximum 460 x 250 mm
Cartons are selected from an adjustable stack
feeder and transferred by a mechanical pusher to
the coding head. After coding they are transferred to a variable speed
outfeed belt, which is fitted
with a stacking device.
The machine is arranged for variable speed operation up to a maximum
of 140 prints / minute
depending on the application. It is offered complete with an
electronic counter, which counts the
number of items coded. It can also be pre-set to code a predetermined
number of items.
Operator controls including machine speed, outfeed speed, dwell timer,
batch Start/Stop and
coding head controls are grouped in a panel at the front of the
machine. An external supply of
compressed air (6 bar) is required.
