Meat Industry Coding, Marking & Packaging

For meat processors, abattoirs and manufacturing plants, the right coding and marking equipment can play a significant part in ensuring readiness for the opportunities ahead in the food industry. As such, the meat sector demands code accuracy & legibility, reliable traceability, and dependable coding equipment which will satisfy regulations and maximise uptime even in challenging production environments.

Linx printers integrate easily into awkward and confined spaces. With protected IP55 and IP65 rated enclosures, they are tailored to resist contamination and water ingress on food manufacturing lines. Additionally, with easy-to-clean printheads, intuitive touch controls and self-service capability, our coding and marking solutions are perfectly adapted to a full range of food manufacturer requirements (including printing onto labels, packaging and onto food products themselves).

Benefits of Linx meat marking solutions:

• Designed to cope in challenging manufacturing settings with sealed printheads
• Utilize right-angle printheads, enabling use within awkward production lines
• Deliver legible and durable codes able to meet labelling and FSA regulations
• Compatibility with a huge range of materials and substrates in the food industry
• Remain cost-effective with minimal intervention and maintenance required
• Specialist machines offering reliable print quality, even at high output speeds
