Leibinger, distributed in Australia by APPMA member Result Group, will showcase its low-maintenance inkjet printers for coding and marking at FachPack 2019 in Nuremberg next month.

The printers use a fully automatic nozzle seal to hermetically seal the entire ink circuit in the printer, preventing air from penetrating and drying out the ink. This means the printer can be restarted immediately at any time, according to Alexander Deuchert, sales director for coding and marking at Leibinger.

“With printers from other manufacturers, customers often had the problem that they had to clean the printer for up to an hour before restarting production, for example after converting a line to a new product, before the first marking could be printed on the product. Since they started using Leibinger printers, this annoying step has been entirely eliminated.

“At the trade fair, we will be illustrating this decisive added value to interested parties very effectively with a demo print head. The ‘aha’ effect is always amazing,” he said.

Four product lines will be on display at the Leibinger stand, including the entry-level Entry Line; the smart Basic and Universal Lines; and the High Speed Line. Customers often bring their own product samples to the stand to have them marked on side, said Deuchert.

“We will often discuss how we can take on the customer’s or potential customer’s coding and marking challenges and make initial recommendations. Integrated solutions are required for efficient production in line with Industry 4.0 standards,” he said.

FachPack 2019 will be held in Nuremberg from 24 to 26 September.
