Contract packer alleviates in-house printer problems

High-speed, clog-resistant inkjet printers simplify and hasten cleaning and maintenance while reinforcing reliability.

Crest Foods currently is using the high-speed system to print one to three lines of alphanumeric data on the packages.

Crest Foods Co., Inc., Ashton, IL, is a contract private-label packager with expertise in turnkey manufacturing, blending, and packaging of a wide range of dry food products. To print its cup, bag, and carton packaging, Crest was using ink-jet equipment that was working satisfactorily. But in-house maintenance of the printers was not easy to accomplish. It often was necessary to call in printer supplier company technicians, resulting in increased line downtime.

Crest shopped around and found the MK-U6000 Series industrial ink-jet printer from Keyence Corporation of America. This high-speed, clog-resistant system features an easy-to-use, touch-screen operator interface and is engineered to offer a combination of automatic maintenance and advanced QC. Print quality is easy to inspect. The printer can be linked to an image sensor with just one cable. And replacement of consumable parts is simple to accomplish, requiring no tools or user’s manual.
