Markem-Imaje 2200 series printer labeller

The Markem-Imaje 2200 Series printer labeller is an optimised solution for printing and labelling boxes and pallets.

The 2200 series is capable of printing and applying labels at rates well in excess of 125 boxes/min. Label application is consistent - ±0.25 mm - due to an optimised label path, automatic label tension and an integrated label pad sensor. Equipped with dual RISC processors, supported by a dedicated ultrafast coprocessor, the series delivers good performance. Markem-Imaje ribbons and labels ensure maximised print quality and long printhead life.

The robust and strong industrial design of the 2200 series is built around a central solid 38 mm thick backbone. The label pad and contact parts are non-stick for ease of cleaning. In addition, all the vital components are all protected by covers.

The media path has been simplified to allow operators to reload label and ribbon rolls in less than 40 s. Production line stoppages are reduced by 25% due to synchronised label and ribbon roll changes with lengths of 560 m compared to a market standard of 450 m. Finally, the printhead and rollers can be exchanged without tools in less than 60 s.

The unit can be fitted with different label applicators: tamp (long or short), wipe or blow for top, side and front applications. There is also a corner wrap applicator for two adjacent side applications. The applicator is interchangeable in the event of new requirements. The print resolution and width can also be modified if necessary, simply by replacing the printhead.

The 2200 series supports high-speed, real-time data generation, including barcodes, 2D codes, logos and serialisation. Printed codes are ANSI standard grade A and B compliant even at the highest application speeds. Markem-Imaje proposes an optional barcode scanner to make sure that 100% of boxes leave the factory with a readable code. CoLOS software solutions ensure data integrity, central data management and easy connection to the company’s database.
