From company updates to helpful hints and tips - Rotech's blog is a one stop shop for coding & marking and packaging information.
Rotech has developed its new offline RF Auto sleeve and carton friction feeder in response to the coding and handling challenges of the latest ‘lift-the-flap’-style luxury pack sleeves.
As part of its pledge to bridge the engineering skills gap, Rotech, the Hertfordshire designer of end-to-end coding and feeding systems, participated in a two day ‘Insight into Industry’ conference at The Marlborough Science Academy, St Albans.
This year, Rotech Machines, the coding integration and feeding systems specialist, celebrates its 20th anniversary. To mark this milestone, company director Richard Pether looks back through the decades on coding technologies and what is instore for the future.
New regulations, new packaging – what has changed?
When buying a new offline coding system, choosing the shiny new printer is usually where the attention is focused, while working out how the pack will be fed to that coder becomes an afterthought.
Rotech, the Hertfordshire designer of end-to-end coding and feeding systems, is using PPMA as the launch-pad for a new offline coder dedicated to pouches. A customer-driven development of the RF1-V, the new RF1-V+ offers a 50% improvement in speed through design innovations including a shingling infeed and extended reservoir capacity.
Chris Baker, director of Rotech – designer and manufacturer of offline advanced carton feeding systems – reflects on packaging trends facing the industry, in particular the rise of the stand-up and how RF1 technology can aid traceability.
Richard Pether, director at Rotech, explains why sometimes it simply makes sense to code offline, even for highly automated manufacturing and packing operations.
Offline coders are quietly handling the awkward jobs that would otherwise hold up production.
