FMCG Company Saving Big on Operational Costs with Batch Coding Machine by KGK Jet

Customer Profile: Manufacturer of personal and healthcare products. Established in 1974 and now has a portfolio of more than 300 products that are based on Ayurvedic formulations. A prestigious assortment of brands that are widely known in India

Challenges & Opportunities:

Adding a new production line: Customer was adding new personal care product lines as well as requires reliable CIJ machines to replace aging machines in an already established line.

Unscheduled breakdown: Existing coding machines we utilising high consumables and frequent breakdowns are causing operational & production losses for customers.

Multiple Product Lines: The customer's products and packaging require a quick line changeover without sacrificing production time, and they also need an ink solution that is reliable for all substrates.

Brand equity: Consistent quality coding for each packaging was a priority for the customer, as it could impact the brand and profitability if consumers are unable to read the codes easily.

KGK Jet Solution:

Saving on cost: During demo CCS3000 indicated Ink and make up consumption rate was 35% lower than the competitors CIJ printers.

One ink for all: The customer's use of multiple inks for various packaging substrates was reduced by the CCS3000 with multi-substrate ink. 

Reliability: CCS3000 coded consistently without interruption while running a 24x7 production line. Other machines required operators to take 15 to 20 minutes between shifts to clean nozzles, which caused production and labor losses.

Prevent curve deformation: Emami has always been committed to producing high-quality products. During high-speed coding, code deformation on curved surfaces is prevented by the innovative curve protect feature in CCS3000.

Highly responsive interface: Operators do not have to add codes every time there are multiple line changeovers. CCS3000's easy-to-use interface allows for quick access to code stored in memory, including MRP, packaging date, expiry date, and batch code. This improves operators’ efficiently and preventing errors

Key benefits of CCS3000:

Efficiency : Customer previously using machine which washes the nozzle with cleaning solution before every start & shutdown. This process requires a lot of expensive consumables and takes twice as long to finish.

KGK patented Nozzle Capping Technology automatically close the print nozzle when the printer is not in use. This keeps the ink from drying and causing frequent line clogging. This feature saves operators time, vital production time and saves

consumables also.

Accuracy & Economical: The CCS3000 uses a 50 micron nozzle, making it different from other CIJ machines that use 70 micron nozzles, which reduces consumable usage while still providing clear and legible coding on smaller areas.

Faster start : Auto start-stop feature designed to auto maintain and schedule start the machine immediately even if machine is not operated for very long time. This feature minimises servicing needs at the same time as reducing consumable use, results in high uptime and a low cost of ownership.

Positive Air Pressure Protection: Print head is installed close to moving packaging prone to dust and moisture buildup inside printhead. CCS3000 print-head equipped with Positive air guard protects against splashback ink buildup & dust and humidity from entering the print head.
