From company updates to helpful hints and tips - Rotech's blog is a one stop shop for coding & marking and packaging information.
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.
Cost savings are welcome at any time, but the exceptional pressure being put on British manufacturers by today’s rapidly rising raw material prices is forcing many to re-examine their operations for fresh ways to save money and protect their margins. With that in mind, we can expect a surge in popularity for coding systems based on convenient, cost-effective thermal inkjet (TIJ) technology.
New regulations, new packaging – what has changed?
Rotech Machines will be exhibiting two exciting additions to its range at Empack 2017, highlighting how food SMEs can tackle cost, speed of coding and waste without compromising on packaging shelf appeal.
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.
