Cut
Maintenance Costs & Boost Efficiency After Seasonal Shutdowns
A significant challenge in marking and coding equipment for
manufacturing is sustaining operational efficiency during seasonal production
shifts or temporary plant shutdowns. For example, beverage demand typically
drops in the winter, while the agrochemical industry faces similar off-season
slowdowns that may lead to temporary shutdowns.
A prolonged shutdown can result in ink drying in the
print-nozzles, this demands additional maintenance before the next production
run, means increased maintenance costs.
KGK Jet CIJ machine has engineered Auto clean feature, designed
to enhance operational efficiency and reduce the need for service, especially
after long shutdown periods.
Here's how it works:
Auto Start: Designed to start the machine immediately
even if machine is not operated for very long time. As per set schedule time,
machine will start automatically and calibrate parameters like fluid viscosity
& ink delivery systems, ensuring that the nozzle is clean and ready
for printing. This helps in preventing issues like nozzle clogging or
ink drying.
Auto Stop: Prior to schedule shut down, KGK Jet CIJ
machine automatically caps the print nozzle. This action helps prevent ink from
drying and clogging the printhead, which could otherwise necessitate visit by service
engineer.
Benefits of Auto Strat & Stop Feature
1. Ink and Solvent Conservation
Minimized Waste: The machine only operates when
needed, reducing the unnecessary consumption of ink and solvent, which can
happen when machines are left running idle for long periods.
Cost Savings: Efficient use of ink and solvents leads
to reduced operational costs over time, as wastage is minimized.
2. Increased Equipment Longevity
Optimized Usage: Automatically stopping the machine
when not in use reduces wear and tear on the components, prolonging the
machine's operational life.
Less Frequent Maintenance: Controlled operational
time reduces the strain on critical components, leading to lower maintenance
frequency and fewer breakdowns.
3. Operational Efficiency
The Auto Start & Stop feature minimizes operator
workload by enabling machines to be programmed to start or stop at a designated
time. This helps conserve valuable operational hours and allows operators to
focus on more critical tasks, ultimately improving efficiency.
4. Enhanced Print Quality
Auto start & stop ensures that the machine operates
under optimal conditions, contributing to consistent print quality by
preventing drying of ink in the nozzle or misprints due to improper shutdown.
5. Energy Savings
The machine only consumes energy when needed, reducing power
usage during idle times. This not only cuts costs but also helps businesses
reduce their environmental footprint.
In summary, Auto start & stop feature in KGK Jet CIJ
machines ensuring more reliable operation, reduce maintenance cost and better
machine longevity.
