Installation of Allen Thermal coder increases production time for OP Chocolate

摘要

Quality manufacturer and supplier of wafer biscuits and chocolate bars, OP Chocolate expects to recoup its investment in a 53LTi thermal transfer printer from Allen Coding Systems within just 12 months of purchase. The low-cost machine, which replaced an old coder that was no longer operating efficiently and causing too much downtime, has increased production time by 15% and, with its automated system of changing the code and print quality, reduced changeovers from 15 to two minutes, producing perfect print quality every time. Installed on an automated bagging machine, the 53LTi currently operates at speeds of up to 75 bags per minute to print production codes and best before dates on to laminated printed film, for the packaging of mini two-finger wafer bars for European export.
