SCROLL DOWN 
The beverage industry, which represents a significant share of the food sector, is a highly diverse industry. It includes the wine, mineral water, beer, and other alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage sectors, where packaging has become a strategic variable for communication and marketing. Additionally, the non-alcoholic beverage market is marked by rapid evolution, demanding substantial investment in research and development to meet the needs of new beverages with functional and nutritional characteristics for increasingly health-conscious consumers.
As a result, there has been an expansion in product lines, formats, and packaging types, which increases the complexity of managing faster, more varied production changeovers.
Inkjet marking systems allow for industrial marking and product traceability within the beverage sector. Zanasi’s inkjet marking solutions are specifically designed to ensure system stability and efficiency in an industry with no downtime, rapid production lines, frequent product changes, wet surfaces, and environments with condensation:
- The systems of marking on bottom of glass bottles adapt to the environment and temperatures where they are installed. Self-regulation mechanisms and a continuous printhead cleaning circuit ensure correct ink viscosity to maintain consistent performance
- The “Touch & Go” system enables immediate restart with a simple screen tap, ensuring that lines remain operational
- Simplified interface with an editor designed to automate the creation of standard codes to facilitate rapid message changes for printing
In the coming years, with regard to packaging development, an increased focus on environmental issues is expected, guiding choices toward sustainable packaging sourced from recycling.
The printing of barcodes, batch numbers, and expiration dates on multiple substrate types with clear and durable readability is guaranteed. This is made possible by consumables developed in the Chemical Research & Development Department in Sassuolo (MO), tailored to the specific applications of the beverage sector.
These inks are fast-drying, resistant to condensation, and removable, with particular attention to environmental aspects. The goal is to enhance ink safety and compliance, meet market evolution and regulatory requirements, and add value to the market and customers.
