Washdown CIJ Printer for Food
Hygienic IP66 design with food-grade and MEK-free inks.
Built around your product
The CJ-880F is made for wet and chilled environments. Its sloped 316 stainless cabinet sheds water, the printhead is sealed against washdown, and ink options include food-grade and MEK-free formulations.
Ink is pumped under pressure through a nozzle and broken into a steady stream of droplets by a piezo crystal. Selected drops receive an electrical charge and are deflected by a high-voltage plate onto the product to form characters; uncharged drops return to the gutter and are recycled. Solvent make-up keeps viscosity constant across temperature changes.
Key features
- Sloped-top cabinet with no dirt traps
- Withstands high-pressure washdown
- Egg-shell and direct-food-contact ink options
- Operates from 0 to 50 °C
Process sequence
Start
Automatic nozzle flush and jet alignment bring the printer to ready.
Sense
A product sensor triggers the print; the encoder matches character width to speed.
Charged drops fly 5–15 mm to the surface and dry in about a second.
Recycle
Unused ink returns through the gutter to the mixing tank.
Shut down
The printhead cleans and seals itself for a clean next start.
