As a pioneer in thermal inkjet technology, we’re excited to announce that we will be exhibiting at this year’s PPMA Show, taking place from 24-26 September 2024 at the NEC in Birmingham.
Well known for our customer-led solutions, we will be at stand A31, ready to showcase our unparalleled range of printers and demonstrate our expertise and knowledge of the increasingly popular coding technology.
More than two decades ago, we recognised the potential of thermal inkjet (TIJ) in the packaging industry. Since then, we have been advocating its benefits—clean operation, maintenance-free functionality and ability to produce excellent quality prints.
The evolution of TIJ technology took a significant leap forward around 2008 with the development of inks that adhere to standard packaging materials. We were at the forefront, implementing some of the first installations for printing on blister pack foil and flow-wrapper films.
This leap forward in capability has led to many other companies adopting the technology as part of their product ranges, with varying levels of knowledge and aftercare.
“Although we all agree that the technology is an excellent choice for various applications, when not installed correctly, or not supported by a knowledgeable team, it could easily be labelled with the same negativity associated with more expensive, service hungry and unreliable technologies.” Says Steve Ryan, our Sales Manager here at Rotech. “This is where we excel, we have industry leading knowledge, extensive experience with installing and supporting these systems across an array of different industry sectors and can provide a full range of system options.”
With over 1,000 UK installations under our belts, we are well trusted by manufacturers spanning a wide range of industry sectors. We maintain our position as a first-class supplier of the technology by constantly evolving our install techniques based on extensive industry experience.
We invite manufacturers to engage with our coding experts to discuss unique challenges related to late-stage product customisation. “Our expertise lies in the correct application of TIJ technology to meet customer needs, from printer and ink selection to installation and interfacing,” explained Richard Pether, General Manager here at Rotech. “Acquiring a printer is easy; getting it to work to its maximum advantage takes expertise.”
Also, at the forefront of our stand, will be a selection of our UK designed and built feeding systems, for applying variable information to packaging off-line.
These feeders are manufactured to handle a variety of flat-form substrates with ease. When paired with a printer and/or labeller, they reliably print and/or label at high speeds, offering a cost-effective solution for coding away from the main production line.
Among the showcased products will be the entry-level RF Lite, a low-cost solution for automating date coding processes, and the newly redesigned RF Auto, a heavy-duty feeder capable of handling products of varying thicknesses. Both systems can be seamlessly integrated with TIJ coders to provide a complete standalone solution.
