Key Industry Challenges
From maintaining product integrity amidst dusty environments to addressing odor sensitivity and swift production demands, candy and confectionery manufacturers face a myriad of challenges.
The Need for Efficient, High-Speed Printing Solutions
Swift printing solutions are needed to match the rapid pace of production lines without compromising on quality
Candy and confectionery production lines can move at rapid speeds to satisfy consumer demand. The existing industrial printer systems must match this pace, ensuring swift and precise printing without sacrificing quality or productivity. Introducing the UX-High Speed CIJ Printer by Hitachi, specifically engineered to excel in high-speed environments. With its superior performance, the UX-High Speed Printer effortlessly keeps pace with fast-moving production lines, delivering reliable and efficient printing solutions.
The Demand for Ultra-Fast Drying Inks
Ink codes must dry swiftly and remain intact throughout the production process
In the swift world of candy and confectionery production, the challenge of ink codes not drying quickly enough or being wiped off during the process can arise. To address this issue, Hitachi has developed ultra-fast drying inks. Formulated to resist interference from sugar particles, these inks ensure consistent and reliable printing, even in high-speed production environments, safeguarding code integrity and minimizing the risk of errors or smudging.
Eliminating Odor Impact - By Using Eco-Friendly & Low Odor Inks
Preventing printing ink odor absorption to preserve product quality
Strong odors emitted by ink or solvent fluids risk contaminating the flavor of highly sensitive candy and confection products, leading to off-flavors or unpleasant tastes. Hitachi addresses this concern with eco-friendly, low-odor inks that preserve the taste and aroma of goods. Our printing solutions ensure customer satisfaction by eliminating any risk of tainted flavors, providing manufacturers with peace of mind, and maintaining the integrity of their products.
Uninterrupted Candy Production
Equipment must be durable to maintaining clarity amidst sugar dust
Candy and confection factories face unique challenges when it comes to printer printing and production downtimes. Sugar particles can cause printhead clogging, leading to operational interruptions. Additionally, the presence of open solvents raises safety concerns for both products and operators. Hitachi's UX2-Dynamic CIJ Printer offers a tailored solution with a cartridge design that eliminates open fluids, along with an optional printhead pressurization kit. These innovations effectively address issues caused by particles, ensuring uninterrupted production for candy manufacturers while prioritizing safety and efficiency.
