Print & Packaging
The code mark of excellence
A
s we approach the end of 2023, here at Industrial Process News, we have chosen Rotech for our End of Year Recommendation. Rotech is a leading UK coding and marking solutions provider to the packaging industry. The business offers easy-to-integrate printers for production lines: delivering clean, fuss-free printing of variable data such as date codes, batch numbers and barcodes. The in-house team also design, build and manufacture standalone feeding systems. These systems can be paired with a labeller and/or coder to offer a flexible and cost-effective solution for consistently handling and marking packaging in its flat form. They are ideal for companies currently coding or labelling by hand who are looking to automate the process. In addition, the systems also suit difficult to handle products (such as food sleeves) and applications where the manufacturer is looking to run something for a limited amount of time, for example a seasonal packaging variant. We spoke to Kirsty Burrage: Marketing Executive to find out more, “This year, we have launched two new products. The first is a variant of our entry-level feeding system – a solution for coding bags and pouches that utilises vacuum technology: The RF Lite Pouch Edition.” “The second is the Integra pp Razr 34: a printer capable of producing large – up to 34mm – prints onto both porous and non-porous materials.”
“We maintain that the Razr is a complete gamechanger when it comes to printing large barcodes or chunks of text onto flexible packaging materials. At the moment, these kinds of applications are usually done with thermal transfer (TTO), a technology, which although high-quality and reliable, produces a lot in the way of waste and operates at much slower speeds than what is capable by the Razr.”
“We like to see our customers as partners, as we don’t just provide them with a product, we provide them with our expansive knowledge on the industry, related technologies and sustainable best practice.” “We’re also unique in that our feeding systems are designed and built here. This allows us to be quick to meet unique needs and create bespoke systems were needed.” “Furthermore, we’ve recently introduced Rotech Care+, a range of maintenance plans which allow us to deliver proactive aftercare support to our customers, to ensure their uptime is kept at a maximum.” After a strong twelve months’ trading, the team are positive about the future, “Rotech hopes to become even more widely recognisable as experts in the field in 2024. We want to continue to spread the word about the technologies that we offer and the benefits that they can bring to production lines all over the country,” concluded Kirsty. +44 (0)1707 393700 sales@rotechmachines.com https://rotechmachines.com
