Bag Guide and Labeling

with MPERIA™ and the VIAjet™ T-Series

Problems with the Previous Printing System

The Südstärke GmbH produces potato starch for the food, paper, textile and technical industries. It looked for a new solution to label sack goods quickly and legibly. The requirements for labeling continuously increase; due to internationalization, Asian and Arabic characters as well as detailed descriptions are necessary, among other things.
Single-line labeling was no longer sufficient and the print height was limited to 50 mm with the current system. Forklift operators and others taking part in the logistics process should be able to quickly recognize, scan and process the goods. The cartridge printing system used until now made an extremely muddy imprint and had to be guided along the product very closely. Also, because of these stipulated requirements, ink consumption was very high.

The Matthews Solution

Matthews recommended a solution with the MPERIA™ universal printing platform combined with the VIAjet™ T-Series printing system. MPERIA™ can be used in many different ways and quickly linked with the existing system in an uncomplicated manner. All necessary codes and labels are displayed in an easily read form due to the VIAjet™ T-Series. The high print resolution guarantees excellent, legible markings for all types of scanners. Especially complex labels and a large print height of up to 100 mm can be executed exceptionally well. The print image is consistently good, since the print head is automatically cleaned. A special advantage of the VIAjet™T-Series is that the flushed fresh ink can be reused.

Bag Guide

The stainless steel bag guide developed specifically by Matthews offers a constant even printing distance to the product. An automatic, manual spring adjusts to the different bag sizes by up to 15 cm and through this guarantees excellent print quality.

The Result

Even under difficult and raw environmental conditions, the combination of the VIAjet™ T-Series printing system and the MPERIA™ printing platform will ensure a consistently even and good printing result. The sacks are printed with all of the necessary information quickly with consistent legibility. The VIAjet™ T-Series printer is optimally adjusted to the prevailing conditions: the print head is flushed automatically in a regular cycle adjusted to the production rate. Ink consumption has been considerably reduced through the use of the VIAjet™ T-Series printer. The costs of cartridges and changing them were considerably minimized.

The entering and managing of printed text is done through the MPERIA™ universal printing platform. Entering and editing the text is comfortable and clear via the touch-screen display. Print layouts are conveniently prepared in the office and sent to the printer as a file transfer. In addition, the customer controls and manages his existing label printer through MPERIA™ so that the expense of a further control module can be saved.

Quote from our customer: Südstärke:

“Together with Matthews, we have found the right solution. With the recently installed T-Series technology, we finally realized a long-wished for result, which was also wanted by countless industry customers: through the custom labeling solution, the Made in Schrobenhausen quality is now immediately apparent.”
