CIJ Inkjet Printers: The Core Solution For Labeling and Compliance In The Food and Beverage Industry

CIJ Inkjet Printers: The Core Solution For Labeling and Compliance In The Food and Beverage Industry

Packaging labeling technology has been upgraded from simple information labeling to a comprehensive solution that integrates production efficiency, safety and compliance, and brand value. As an industry-leading labeling equipment supplier, Shenyang Faith Technology Co., Ltd. (Faith Technology) has launched a new generation of CIJ (continuous inkjet) printers based on market demand and technological iteration. It has achieved a number of technological breakthroughs on the basis of inheriting traditional advantages, providing food and beverage companies with smarter, more efficient, and safer labeling solutions.

1. The core value iteration of CIJ inkjet printers in food and beverage packaging
Traditional CIJ technology has demonstrated the advantages of high-speed and non-contact printing in the field of food packaging, and Faith Technology's new generation of equipment has achieved a dual improvement in functional integration and intelligence on this basis. Our equipment can not only print basic information such as production date and batch code on materials such as glass bottles, plastic containers, metal cans, cartons and flexible packaging, but also achieve functional upgrades from single identification to full-chain traceability through modular design.

Taking the Faith FBP001 model as an example, its printing speed of 576 meters/minute is 30% higher than that of traditional equipment. With a 360° rotating nozzle and an adjustable printing distance of 3-30mm, it can perfectly adapt to high-speed production lines and complex packaging forms. More importantly, we integrate production monitoring, cost accounting and remote diagnosis functions into the core system of the equipment, and realize full-process visual management through a 10.1-inch industrial touch screen. Compared with the traditional equipment that requires additional deployment of monitoring systems, it greatly reduces the cost of enterprise information transformation.

2. Technology upgrade: from compliant printing to intelligent production center
1. Double breakthrough in material compatibility and printing accuracy
The Faith CIJ inkjet printer adopts a dual-nozzle pump design and an intelligent ink path system, and is specially optimized for the diversity of food packaging materials:
Glass bottles/metal cans: High-contrast coding is achieved through a 75u high-precision nozzle and an adjustable power laser, and character clarity can be maintained even on curved or reflective surfaces;
Plastic flexible packaging: The original low-viscosity food-grade ink formula solves the adhesion problem of traditional inks on PE/PET materials. According to SGS testing, the ink migration amount is less than 1/5 of the EU EC 1935/2004 standard limit;
Carton/paper packaging: Supports multiple dot matrix fonts from 5×6 to 32×32, with a minimum character height of up to 1.2mm, meeting the fine labeling needs of special categories such as infant food.

2. Technical barriers to food safety compliance
In the field of food safety, which is of most concern to the industry, Faith Technology not only uses special food-grade inks, but also forms a technical moat through a triple safety mechanism:

Ink traceability system: Each batch of ink comes with a FDA and EFSA dual-certified QR code, which can be scanned to trace the raw material supplier and production batch;
Anti-tampering printing technology: Through dynamic data encryption and micro-text anti-counterfeiting, key information such as production date can be prevented from being maliciously tampered with;
Intelligent labeling of allergen information: Built-in database of allergen regulations of major countries in the world (such as FDA 204 rules, EU EC 1169/2011), the device can automatically generate compliant allergen warning labels based on formula data.

3. Intelligent production empowerment: ecological upgrade from equipment to system
Different from the single function of traditional CIJ equipment, Feis inkjet printer has evolved into a production data node:

Integrated counter and cost analysis: 20 + independent counters monitor 28 production indicators such as output, ink consumption, downtime, etc. in real time, and automatically generate daily cost reports;
Remote operation and maintenance system: Support 4G/5G network access, technicians can achieve firmware upgrades, fault diagnosis and parameter optimization through the cloud platform, and the average fault handling time is shortened by 70%;
MES system seamless connection: open multiple interfaces such as RS232 and API, synchronize production data with the enterprise manufacturing execution system in real time, and help build a transparent factory.

Industry application scenarios and customized solutions
1. Beverage industry: perfect balance between high-speed lines and anti-counterfeiting traceability
In high-speed production lines such as bottled water and carbonated beverages (speed exceeding 60,000 bottles per hour), the Faith FBP001 model uses dynamic synchronous tracking technology to ensure that the QR code reading rate remains at 99.99% at a printing speed of 576 meters per minute. The application case of a leading mineral water brand shows that after using Faith equipment, the downtime rate of its production line due to labeling problems has dropped from 3.2% to below 0.5%, saving more than 1.2 million yuan in annual costs.
2. Baked goods: flexible adaptation of small batch production of multiple categories
For multi-SKU production scenarios such as bread and biscuits, the fast plate change function of the Faith inkjet printer can switch the labeling content of different products within 10 seconds. With an intelligent system that supports 40+ languages, the same device can meet the labeling specifications of both the domestic market and export products. After a chain baking company applied it, the equipment investment cost was reduced by 40% and the production switching efficiency was increased by 60%.

Conclusion: Choose Feisi, choose the future of identification technology
In today's world where compliance requirements in the food and beverage industry are becoming increasingly stringent and competition in production efficiency is fierce, CIJ inkjet printers are no longer simple printing tools, but a key node in the digital transformation of enterprises. Shenyang Feisi Technology Co., Ltd. is driven by technological innovation and upgrades traditional CIJ technology to an intelligent production center that integrates identification, traceability, and data collection, providing customers with a full life cycle solution from equipment to system.
