Customised Print & Apply Label Application For Leading Paper Manufacturer.
Following a site survey from an Xact specialist we determined the requirements and provided a thorough proposal offering a solution to the clients problems. The previous system was failing causing poor prints resulting in customers rejecting orders and the company being subjected to hefty fines.
In comparison to the previous system, Xact’s solution was more reliable and cost effective. Our site survey concluded that a customised solution was required. This included a sublevel framework with an integrated Zebra print engine that would allow a label to be printed and dispensed in an upside down position along a floor conveyor belt. The rolls of paper would then be rolled over the label.
An additional scanning system was proposed for barcode verification of the label.

MPERIA System Meets Requirements Of The Insulation Industry.
The client was already using the Matthews 8400 inkjet system with a single 32v print head coding on just one side of the insulation board. They wanted a system that would enable them to mark on both sides of their thermal board. They also required an integrated system which would fit into their manufacturing process for easier message selection when the insulation boards varied in thickness.
Xact’s technical site survey concluded that an upgrade to Xact’s MPERIA™ VIAjet™ V-Series ink jet printer using two 32v print heads and the MPERIA™ management system would allow the client to link directly making message selection simple.
Following the success of the first system, a second system will be installed on another line in the coming months.

MPERIA System Solves High Speed Application Of Quality Barcodes To Specialised Papers.
A leading manufacturer of high quality paper needed a coding and marking solution to apply product names, batch code and bar codes at high speed.
Xact supplied and installed the MPERIA™ 12” touchscreen controller with 3 x VIAjet™ L-Series L12 print heads. Competitor systems were unable to offer the desired print resolution at normal production speeds of 100m/min. However the speed requirement was well within the capabilities of the MPERIA™ VIAjet™ L-Series printer.
With this system the client has the facility to have one controller operating multiple print heads with the flexibility to simply add further heads in the future for other marking applications thereby future proofing the system. This is one big advantage of the MPERIA™ system, the ability to so easily extend and expand in the future. The MPERIA™ system installed by Xact has the network capabilities to integrate with the clients internal order and manufacturing systems which is included as a standard feature.
About the MPERIA™ VIAjet L-Series.
The MPERIA™ VIAjet™ L-Series system provides exceptional print resolution and versatility along with unparalleled levels of readability. It is ideal for printing on porous and non-porous materials, the VIAjet L-Series printheads perform in a range of challenging packaging and industrial environments, such as the coding of outer cases, cartons, coated and uncoated media, bags, timber, plastics, films and construction products.

Add A ‘Depot Day’ To Your Label!
“Display until” or “Best Before” dates on labels have always been a problem if production planning dictates that you should pack several days ahead of the batch being shipped to the distribution depot, as is the case with many fruit and vegetable pack houses.
This usually causes problems as the old programmes were fairly inflexible with lots of manual modifications to the label design being required to adjust the dates shown on the label. This can often lead to mistakes being made and labels left with the modified dates rather than the original date.
When a label sent to the packing machine asks the operator for the “Depot Day”(the day the product will leave to move to the distribution depot), the offset days are now calculated from the depot date. An added safe guard is that the range of dates can be restricted to stop “Display until”, “Best Before” dates a year in advance, for example.

The modification, which can also allow fruit caliber to be chosen at the time of packing is supplied as a “plugin” (a small additional “add on program” to the current version of Girprint). The label delivery screen shows what will be printed so the operator can check the dates before committing to printing.
For more information on the Girlabel 12 plug in, and how the ‘Depot Day’ could work for you, please contact Xact on 0151 479 3020 or email info@xactpack.co.uk
