ICE / Printsafe Partnership helps Cruga Meat High Efficiency Standards

Off-line coding specialists Interactive Coding Equipment (ICE) and Printsafe recently entered into an informal partnership which will see customers benefit from high-speed integrated coding, marking and labelling solutions.

Beef jerky supplier Cruga Biltong is already seeing value in its ICE Thermal Transfer Overprinter (TTO), which has been fitted onto a udaFORMAXX high-speed feeding system, as it allows the company to improve production efficiency and reduce packaging costs.

David Low, Founder of Cruga Biltong explains:

Speed:

“We can print thousands of pouches per hour with virtually no rejects and with only one operator.”

Ease of use:

“Our non-English-speaking operators have absolutely no problem running the machines.

“My experience with other thermal transfer printers is that you need a PHD in maze solving just to change the ribbon. With the ICE Zodiac, you just drop the ribbon spool in and off you go.”

CLARiTY interface:

“The touchscreen control is also excellent. It even tells you on a readout how much ribbon you have got left so that you can plan changeover.”
