Markem-Imaje has introduced the brand-new 5940 G steel cabinet option to offer a robust option for extreme environments.
Responding to the growing need for coders that can provide reliable, GS1-128 compliant codes in challenging manufacturing surroundings, the stainless steel case provides protection from rust in wet and damp environments.
Markem-Imaje is a provider of end-to-end supply chain options and industrial marking and coding systems, and works directly with customers to innovate according to market needs and challenges. With the 5940 G applicable for a broad range of substrates, since launch it has been deployed by manufacturers including specialists in fresh produce, meats and for precision printing on polystyrene for frozen foods. Often packaged in extreme temperatures, damp environments or field packaging, and, in the case of fresh fish, aboard fishing vessels, these products require a coding option that can withstand the toughest surroundings. The new steel casing for the 5940 G protects from rust, unlike non-corrosive resistant materials such as painted steel.
Greg Kasprzak, marketing team leader, MI said, ‘The 5940 G has proven to be a hugely successful coder. This is in no small part thanks to its reliability across a wide spectrum of manufacturing needs, consistently delivering crisp codes on a huge range of secondary packaging, including corrugated. With the introduction of our stainless-steel case option, we are ensuring that the 5940 G offers the highest performance even in the most difficult circumstances.’
The 5940 G runs Markem-Imaje’s Touch Dry inks that instantly dry on contact. The inks, which are free of odours and volatile organic compounds (VOC), are safe to handle and contribute to a more sustainable production line, it is claimed. Touch Dry inks will not spread along corrugated fibres and lose resolution.
The 5940 G also features a patented Intelli’Flow printhead technology that avoids nozzle blockages due to ink backsplash and dust build-up. It also features a filtering process that degasses the ink during printing and keeps the jetting mechanism clean and clear, resulting in a higher print quality, greater throughput, reduced maintenance and less downtime.
