QUESTION 1 ANSWER: Why should Moba sorting machine users prefer TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) over-coding machines?
1st ANSWER
Large egg producers, especially those using Moba grading machines, apply codes such as STT, ÜRT, Lot No, and Serial No to the trays after the eggs are placed in 6, 12, 15, and 30-count trays using two methods.
Let’s take a look at these two methods.
In the first method, graded eggs are placed in trays on Moba lines, and the lids are closed. Then, the trays are moved to a different area and coded there using CIJ (Continuous Inkjet) or TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) systems. This method involves multiple operations, resulting in a loss of labor, time, and energy. Additionally, if the tray coding machines are chip-based, it creates a nightmare of being forced to work with a single supplier. Purchasing consumables at a high price from a single supplier significantly increases the costs for egg producers.
In the second method, TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) systems are installed between the Moba lines. After the sorted eggs are placed in the vials, their lids are closed and while the vials are still on the lines, coding such as STT, URT, Lot No. and Serial No. is done on their lids by TIJ printers. Performing coding operations on the lines increases the efficiency of operations and reduces labor and time costs. If your coding printers are not chip printers, and Ekoprint EP-21 and EP-22M coding printers are not chip printers, you are not dependent on a single supplier. If you use chip printers, unfortunately, the obligation to a single supplier continues. The advantage of TIJ systems here is that they do not require periodic maintenance like CIJ systems. Coding machines working with HP45 technology are replaced when the cartridges run out and coding operations can continue without interruption. The machine parts do not have a certain lifetime, there are no pump-nozzle etc. parts that need to be replaced. Systems with minimal need for technical service. In fact, most of the time, software problems that can be experienced with remote intervention can be solved quickly and there are no technical service costs.
Therefore, in short, if you install chip-free, TIJ systems on your Moba sorting machine lines, you will have made an economically viable investment, your technical service costs will almost disappear, you will be freed from the nightmare of being dependent on a single supplier for consumables. Your labor and time costs will decrease, and your operational efficiency will increase.
In this regard, I am sharing our information articles about the projects we have done with Abalıoğlu and Keskinoğlu companies as Ekoprint below. I hope it will be useful for you.
