Washdown & Harsh-Environment Coding
Coders that keep printing through water, dust, cold and heat.
The challenge
Meat, dairy and beverage plants are washed down daily; cement and timber plants are thick with dust. Standard equipment fails early in these conditions.
What you gain
- Uptime in difficult conditions
- Shorter clean-down routines
- Longer equipment life
