Country Liquor Uninterrupted Batch Coding with KGK Jet Date Printer Machine
Company Profile: Country liquor manufacturer based out of west India, combining existing 8 product lines the total installed capacity of 15 Crore bottles per annum. Customer is looking forward to with expand 8 new lines.
Challenges & Opportunities:
PPC (Pay Per Click) Arrangement: Customer want to upgrade to faster coding for entire production with PPC (Pay Per Click) model. Need coding of 2-3 line of text on labels of 90ml, 180ml & 750ml bottles.
Manual Coding: Karan Bottling relied on manually printing each product, requiring additional manpower for new every line.
Printing Quality: The coding on labels are fading before dispatch, and the contrast is very poor. This could result in compliance issues.
Loss of Time & Resources: Manual labelling need inventory and did not ensure consistent quality coding. For instance, they often printed large quantities of labels with manual coding for a single day, but these couldn't be re-used the next day due to changes in dates and different product variants, leading to waste of time and resources.
KGK Jet Solution
CCS-R Demo: KGK Jet CIJ machine with CN505 ink, combination delivers high speed coding with, crisp coding from first to last print.
Ensuring a clean print-head: Equipped with positive air pressure in the print-head, KGK Jet CIJ machines keep out dust and moisture, avoiding any risk of print head and ink contamination. The unique Nozzle Capping technology seals the nozzle when the printer is not active, safeguarding the ink and reducing the frequency of cleaning required by operators resulting in non-stop coding.
Most economical: The CCS-R was identified as the most cost-efficient to operate, largely due to its 50-micron nozzle. Based on calculations, the customer concluded that it is 30% more economical than other CIJ machines.
Service support: The KGK Jet service engineers responded promptly during the demonstration, making adjustments during installation and quickly resolving all inquiries.
