Xact receive prestigious award from Matthews Marking
Leading Snack Manufacturer Saves Time and Money with New Coding & Marking Technology From Xact
The solution proposed was our universal print platform, MPERIA™, combined with its high-resolution piezoelectric print heads, the Viajet T-Series. To meet the company’s needs, they required one MPERIA™ controller to manage all six production lines, and a 4” print head with a custom conveyor mount for each production line.
The results were impressive. With Matthews’ MPERIA™, the snack manufacturer manages all production lines from a centralised controller, and can troubleshoot remotely with its Virtual Network Computing feature. This has greatly reduced downtime due to re-work and discard issues (saving them approximately £650 per month) and they no longer having to wait for technical support. In addition, the T-Series print heads allow for a 4” print area* and has a recirculating ink system that reduced ink waste and maintenance time. They estimate a £850 cost saving per month.
*4” per single print head. Stitch multiple print heads together for a larger print area.
Southern Manufacturing & Electronics
This show is aimed at industrial engineering and manufacturing professionals looking to find design, engineering, procurement and production solutions. Over 800 leading industry suppliers will be at the 2015 show, demonstrating new lines and revolutionary technology.
Xact has chosen this event to demonstrate ‘Mperia’ the latest Industrial Inkjet Integrated Solution from World Leaders, Matthews Marking. ‘Mperia’ is the latest in production line coding management, capable of managing multiple printing technologies, combined with high speed, high resolution printing. All our demonstrations will take place on stand S26.
Xact will also be showcase the three latest Matthews Marking technologies, the Viajet V-Series, T-Series and L-Series. Marking on all materials, in all environments, we can quite literally code or mark any product.
The first of these technologies – the V-Series – features Matthews’ drop on demand (DOD) technology that marks substrates including metal, paper and pulp, wood, concrete and plastic. Matthews’ DOD printheads are the fastest in the industry, marking over 800 fpm (244 meters/min), with the longest life – over 6 billion firings per head.
The high resolution Ink Jet – the T-Series – provides brand on demand printing of batch and date codes, variable text, graphics, and barcodes. Our superior ink efficiency and re-circulating auto-prime function provides up to 35% less ink consumption than competing brands. The T-Series also allows you to stitch print heads together for large logos and branding, allowing you to replace pre-printed cartons and labelling equipment and labels.
Like the T-Series, the L-Series offers high resolution printing up to 2″ (51mm) per print head and a wide selection of fast dry inks for marking porous or non-porous materials at high speeds. Its removable cartridge makes replacing ink easy, all while reducing changeover and improving uptime.
Meet our friendly sales representative, Craig Gatland, on S26 from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm Tuesday-Wednesday and Thursday.

Packaging Corner: Maintain consistency with case marking
Marking products and cases with identification coding and other information during their manufacture or during packaging, while they’re in transit on a production line, can be a tremendous challenge. That’s due to the variety of printing technologies and systems in the marketplace.
Pharmaceutical serialisation: a must?
Manufacturers need the ability to quickly and positively identify and isolate all suspect products in the supply chain. Without legible barcodes and human readable production dates and lot numbers, product recalls are difficult to manage.
By 2017, the entire pharmaceutical industry in Europe must comply with the “falsified medicines” directive 2011/62/EU. In short all companies operating in the pharmaceutical industry of all European states need to introduce a serialisation system with a control at the point of dispensation.
Xact can help maintain compliance and traceability with its variety of marking and coding applications powered by Mperia.
“MPERIA™ seamlessly integrates product marking with plant operations and customer databases,” says Barry Baldock, Xact’s Director. “The result is that customers can automate coding, reduce marking errors, and provide valuable traceability information for their products.”
