For years, Australian egg producers have had limited choices when it comes to marking technology. Now, Result Group is expanding the options by introducing Leibinger Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers, which are directly integrated with egg graders and designed to deliver "superior performance" compared to conventional systems.
The Australian egg industry is a powerhouse of food production, supplying over six billion eggs annually.
With strict labelling regulations requiring best before dates, farm codes, and batch numbers for full traceability, egg producers need reliable, efficient and cost-effective marking solutions to maintain compliance and streamline operations.
Leibinger inkjet printers are designed to connect directly with Moba egg grading machines, ensuring fully automated coding with minimal manual intervention. According to Result Group, this integration significantly enhances operational efficiency, enabling high-speed, high-precision marking without bottlenecks or disruptions.
Unlike conventional printers prone to clogging, Leibinger’s patented Sealtronic nozzle seal technology ensures the printhead remains airtight when not in use, preventing ink from drying, the company says. This means there is no daily cleaning required – eliminating messy, time consuming maintenance; virtually zero downtime – keeping production lines running smoothly; and significant cost savings on maintenance and consumables.
With a focus on sustainability and efficiency, Leibinger printers are designed for low energy consumption and reduced consumable usage. Result Group says this makes them "an ideal choice for Australian egg producers looking to lower operational costs, while meeting rising consumer demand for environmentally responsible practices".
Whether marking cartons for retail, bulk trays for food service, or specialty packaging for export markets, Leibinger’s CIJ printers offer "exceptional adaptability, effortlessly handling diverse formats", Result Group GM Michael Dossor asserts. "Leibinger’s CIJ printers’ centralised management system also allows operators to control multiple printers from a single interface, simplifying workflows and improving efficiency," he says.
A proven case study in Spain
Leibinger technology was successfully implemented at Dagu, one of Spain’s leading egg producers.
Faced with the challenge of marking 200,000 egg cartons per batch while running production lines for 15 hours a day, Dagu required a marking system that could keep up with its high-speed operations.
By installing 16 Leibinger JET2 NEO CIJ printers directly onto Moba sorters, Dagu reportedly achieved seamless high-speed marking with minimal intervention; reliable performance with virtually no printhead clogging, thanks to Sealtronic technology; and centralised printer management, enabling operators to control all units from a single PC.
Australian market
"With the introduction of Leibinger’s advanced inkjet coding solutions, Australian egg producers finally have a high-performance alternative that delivers better efficiency, lower costs, and superior reliability," Dossor says.
Whether it's about improving traceability, eliminating downtime, or enhancing sustainability, Result Group says it is "redefining egg marking technology in Australia", ensuring that every egg is clearly, efficiently, and reliably coded.
