What You Need to Know About Inkjet Coding in the Agricultural Sector

The European Union has established various rules regarding hygiene and traceability for food safety. The EU takes a very strict approach to compliance with these rules. New technologies, however, allow producers and suppliers to make the necessary optimizations in terms of safety, quality, and hygiene.

Industrial inkjet printers are the ideal solution for contactless coding and marking of agricultural product packaging. This allows for the creation of solutions tailored to the needs of the agricultural sector.

If you're curious about coding and branding in the agricultural sector, their advantages, and more, you can find all the details in our article.

Correct Inkjet Coding and Marking in the Agricultural Sector 

There are good systems available that can perform marking on any agricultural and machinery component. However, using all of these on a single component is not considered ideal.

Therefore, knowing and choosing the right branding system is of great importance.

When choosing the right inkjet coding and marking machine for the agricultural sector, the following points should be considered:

Portable Feature

When making a selection, it is very important that the preferred machine is portable and easy to move. Machines that have industrial features but are also portable may be more ideal options today.

Portable and mobile coding machines are much easier to use and faster than traditional machines. Therefore, they are a much more effective option compared to large, complex, and non-portable machines.

Complexity and Size

Seçim yaparken boyut ve karmaşıklığın da dikkate alınması gerekir. Tarım ve ağır makine aksamları için tercih edilecek kodlama makinesinin kullanımının kolay ve ağırlığının ise az olması gerekir. Böylece tüm parçalara ulaşılması daha kolay olacaktır.

Production Efficiency

The most efficient marking system that can be used for any structural product is laser marking. When made compatible with laser processes, the efficiency in marking will reach its highest level.

Different systems also have high efficiencies, but laser systems stand out clearly from them.

Print Quality and Readability

Seçim yapmadan önce mutlaka dikkate alınması gereken hususlardan biri okunabilirlik ve baskı kalitesidir. Kesinlik ve yüksek okunabilirlik sağlama noktasında lazer kodlama sistemleri beklentileri en üst seviyede karşılar.

The environment in which it is used

It is a known fact that a significant portion of industrial machinery used in the agricultural sector is operated outdoors, i.e., in the open air. Therefore, the coding must be resistant to outdoor elements.

Laser coding systems have high resistance to external environmental influences.

Advantages of Different Marking Systems in the Agricultural Sector 

Advantages of Laser Marking Systems

Lazer markalama makineleri, sahip olduğu özellikler ile birçok alandaki en ideal seçenek olarak dikkat çeker. Bu durumun nedeni ise sağlamış olduğu avantajlardır. Tarım sektöründe de benzer bir durum söz konusudur. Bu alanda, lazer markalama sisteminin sağlamış olduğu avantajlar şu şekildedir:

Highly Readable Signs

The reason why a significant number of manufacturers prefer laser coding systems is that these systems can produce highly readable signals.

These systems, which encode with extremely high precision, can also produce highly readable markings without the need for contrast.

Wide Material Compatibility

Laser coding systems are highly successful in material compatibility and have a long list of compatible materials.

Bundan dolayı belli bir bileşenin markalanması için farklı bir kodlama sistemine geçilmesi gibi durumlar yaşanmaz. Bileşenlerin hangi sert malzemeden üretildiğine bakılmaksızın, lazer kodlama sistemleri istenen sonucu almanızı sağlar.

Contactless Marking

These systems are capable of contactless coding. Therefore, there is no need to worry about mechanical stress points when working with the component.

Advantages of Inkjet Systems

Another of the best marking systems, inkjet coding, has the following advantages:

Correctly Reading Markings and Signs

Inkjet printers have the ability to produce highly readable labels without the need for contrast. They offer the best readability among these systems.

Material Compatibility

Geniş bir malzeme uyumluluğu vardır. Plastik, metal ve camdan üretilen tarımsal bileşenler üzerinde çalışır ve istenen sonucu verir. Fakat bazı malzemelerle uyumlu olamayabileceği unutulmamalıdır.

Easier Than Mechanics

Unlike other marking systems, inkjet printing eliminates the risk of thermal or mechanical stress on the component.

It should be noted that chemical reactions based on the ink sample may occur, and checking for compatibility is important.
