SOFT DRINKS AND MINERAL WATER

Continuously running production lines and easy-to-use marking systems create the ideal situation for packaging mineral waters, soft drinks and juices.
Zanasi marking solutions maintain constant performance over time, in a production environment where high speed, humidity and a wide range of containers of different materials, sizes, shapes and colours must be taken into account.

Ultra-fast filling and packaging lines, maximum productivity with frequent product changes, wet surfaces and the presence of condensation: these are the main challenges to be faced when providing a suitable solution for marking cans.

Zanasi’s small character inkjet coding solutions have been specifically designed to ensure system stability and efficiency, in an industry with no downtime.

– Printing messages are parameterised and stored to reduce downtime during frequent product type changeovers.

– The “Touch & Go” system for immediate restart, by simply touching the screen, ensures that the lines are always in operation.

– The systems adapt to the environment and the temperatures in which they are installed. The self-regulation mechanisms and continuous head cleaning circuit guarantee the correct viscosity of the ink to maintain constant performance.

The formulation of dedicated inks resistant to condensation guarantees maximum adhesion on wet drums and cans, and perfect coding even on concave bottoms and curved surfaces.

Cardboard packaging, as a simple tool for logistical and information needs, has assumed an increasingly important role as a vehicle for communication and branding, without foregoing the focus on aesthetics and image uniformity.

To meet the numerous requests for customisation and printing on cardboard boxes, trays and labels, Zanasi offers a complete line of low and high resolution printing systems.

The systems, designed to print text, barcodes, logos and images of different heights, use Drop on Demand piezoelectric printing technology, ensuring robustness and reliability for highly defined high-resolution printing, as well as perfectly traceable, readable and GS1 standard-compliant barcodes, on porous and non-porous surfaces.

The Thermal InkJet range of systems is capable of adhering perfectly to any surface of packaging and multipacks. They incorporate the control unit and ink cartridge in a small space, allowing the latter to be replaced in a matter of seconds, offering high resolution printing up to 900 Dpi of alphanumeric characters and high quality data matrix.

TRACEABILITY AND COST REDUCTION

The wide working range of the heads allows you to take advantage of the entire printing surface available for endless customisation possibilities.

Direct printing of scannable information and barcodes on packaging gives you a real advantage that includes:

– the customisation of the message in real time

– the reduction of storage costs of pre-printed boxes

– the elimination of label costs and related management

– total traceability and identification of products on a logistics level
