Food Auto Carton Coder for Taping Machine
An auto carton coder for taping machine prints batch numbers, dates, logos and other large text onto corrugated master cartons as they pass along a conveyor or through a carton taping machine. It uses grooved rubber stereos on a drum and a refillable ink cartridge, so no power or skilled operator is needed. We build and export it from China.
How the auto carton coder for taping machine prints
You compose the message by push-fitting grooved stereos onto a ring drum, which takes only minutes. When a carton passes, friction turns the drum, the stereos pick up ink from the cartridge, and the text prints in one stroke. A spring then turns the drum back to its zero point, so each carton starts from the same place in the message.
This friction-driven, on-line design needs no motor of its own. It fits beside the tape head on most carton sealers.
Listed figures
- Printing area: 50 × 450 mm, 2 to 5 lines of text
- Type: easy-change grooved rubber stereos from 3 mm to 58 mm high
- Ink: rechargeable high-capacity cartridge for porous or non-porous surfaces
- Impressions: about 1,000 per 20 ml charge of ink
- Capacity: 20 cartons per minute
Black and red ink are standard. White, golden and other colours are marked as options, so we confirm them at enquiry. Logos, emblems and monograms can be made to your artwork. The table also shows typical food-grade build and a model-dependent automation level, which we confirm for your order.
Checking fit on your line
Before we quote, we ask for the carton height range, the conveyor or taping machine you run, and where on the carton the code should sit. We also ask how many lines you need, since the drum holds up to five. This lets us send the right bracket and stereo sizes the first time.
The coder often ships with other end-of-line units, such as our auto feeding stacking conveyor or auto shrink packager web sealer.
Export supply of the auto carton coder for taping machine
We quote on EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF terms and pack the coder with spare stereos and ink in export cartons or crates. Buyers in the Philippines and Sri Lanka usually ask us to add a stock of refill ink to the same order. Our page on shipping, Incoterms and export documents explains the papers that travel with it.
