Dips and Spreads coding improved with new investment in High-Performance Hitachi UX2.
Dips and Spreads has invested in a significant upgrade to its printing capabilities with the purchase of 12 Hitachi UX2 industrial inkjet printers. The equipment was supplied by Visy, a trusted provider of packaging and print solutions. The company specialises in dips and spreads packaged in tubs, with their products popular in major Australian retail chains. The investment in the Hitachi UX2 printers reflects their commitment to efficient, high-quality production and clear product labelling.
Hitachi UX2: Precision, Speed, Efficiency, and Safety for High-Quality Printing
The Hitachi UX2 is renowned for its precision printing, fast operation, and durability. These features are crucial for the company, which requires consistent, high-quality printing of critical information directly onto their tubs at high production volumes. This includes best-before dates and production batch data, ensuring clear traceability and consumer confidence. Additionally, the safe cleaning station enhances site safety by reducing the risk of ink and solvent spills or operator exposure.
Improved Efficiency, Reduced Risk, and Consistent Quality
The Hitachi UX2’s safe cleaning station automates the printhead cleaning process, eliminating the need for manual cleaning with solvent and cloths. This improves overall production efficiency and minimises the risk of errors or damage that can occur during manual cleaning. The enclosed system also reduces the risk of ink and solvent spills, promoting a safer working environment for operators.
Further enhancing the production process, the Hitachi UX2’s new ink guard feature allows the printer to run for longer periods without experiencing ink build-up inside the printhead. Ink droplets are captured by a built-in ink guard, ensuring consistent, high-quality printing even after thousands of operating hours. This translates to extended uptime, reduced maintenance requirements, and ultimately, a more streamlined production process.
Visy Technology Systems: Facilitating a Smooth Integration
Visy Technology Systems, a leading supplier of packaging and print solutions in Australia and New Zealand, played a key role in facilitating the acquisition of the Hitachi UX2 printers. Their expertise in industrial printing solutions ensured a smooth integration process for the company.
