Coding of synthetic (PP) paint pails
and metal paint cans

Definition of Task

Coding of synthetic (PP) paint pails and metal paint cans with the expiration date and batch number in many languages

The assignment of print jobs and automatic printing with the respective batch number is carried out by simply scanning the bar code on the production’s accompanying documents
REA customized software (Script) has an allowance counter which makes a log of the number of coded products. When the allotted amount has been reached the print job will stop via the auto-stop function and the conveyor belt will also stop
A signal light shows the operating personnel when the printing assignment is completed
Printing of up to three lines at a product speed of between 7 and 30 m/min
Pails are marked sidewise, metal cans are marked upside down
High humidity due to the manufacture of latex paint
Multi-shift operation (24 hours, 6 days a week)

Printing data imported per scanning of a bar code direct from the production data sheet and automatically printed
Manual input no longer necessary for operating personnel
All-in-one solution: coding and marking of products & print job ends after reaching the allotted amount for the production order
Highly-flexible coding (print text, language) through non-contact coding and marking with ink jet printers – replaces expensive, personnel-extensive and manual labeling
Various print adjustments (upside down or sidewise)
