Hot Ink Roll Stamping Coding Machine AT1100A for Continuous MRP and Date Coding

The AT1100A Hot Ink Roll Stamping Coding Machine is a compact continuous coding machine designed for printing variable information such as MRP, production dates, expiry dates, batch numbers and lot codes on packaging materials.

Using a heated ink roller and coding characters, the machine transfers ink onto the packaging surface during continuous production. It can be installed on vertical packaging machines, horizontal packaging machines and other automatic packaging equipment.

The AT1100A is a practical solution for manufacturers looking for a simple and economical date coding machine for packaging machines.

AT1100A Hot Ink Roll Coder Features

Continuous Online Coding

The AT1100A is designed for continuous production lines and can be integrated with automatic packaging machines.

The coding operation takes place while the packaging material is moving, allowing the machine to print product information without stopping the packaging process.

Simple Mechanical Coding System

The machine uses a hot ink roller and replaceable coding characters to create the printed information.

This simple construction makes the AT1100A easy to operate and maintain.

It is particularly suitable for manufacturers who need reliable basic date and batch coding without the complexity of a fully digital printer.

MRP and Date Printing

The AT1100A can be configured for common packaging information such as:

MRP | Manufacturing Date | Expiry Date | Batch No. | Lot No.

This makes it useful for products that require mandatory or commercial information to be printed directly on the package.

Easy Integration with Packaging Machines

The hot ink roll coder can be mounted on different packaging machines according to the packaging process.

Typical integration applications include:

• Vertical form fill seal machines

• Horizontal packaging machines

• Sachet packing machines

• Pouch packing machines

• Bagging machines

• Other continuous packaging equipment

The actual mounting position and coding configuration should be selected according to the packaging machine structure and printing position.

Hot Ink Roller and Coding Characters

The printing performance of a hot ink roll coder depends not only on the machine but also on the ink roller and coding characters.

Able can provide related consumables and spare parts, including:

• Hot ink rollers

• Coding characters

• Numbers

• Letters

• Character holders

• Other replacement parts

Different packaging materials and coding requirements may require different consumables.

Therefore, when ordering replacement parts, it is recommended to confirm the machine model, roller size and character configuration.

Why Choose AT1100A for Packaging Coding?

The AT1100A is suitable for manufacturers who want a straightforward coding solution without installing a more complicated digital printing system.

Cost-effective for basic coding

For simple production-date, expiry-date, MRP and batch-number printing, a hot ink roller coder can provide the required function without unnecessary features.

Easy to operate

The mechanical coding principle is relatively simple, making daily operation and consumable replacement straightforward.

Suitable for packaging machine integration

The compact design allows the coder to be integrated into automatic packaging equipment.

Easy consumable replacement

Hot ink rollers and coding characters can be replaced according to production requirements.

How to Choose a Hot Ink Roll Coding Machine?

Before selecting an AT1100A hot ink roller coder, confirm the following information:

1. What packaging material are you printing on?

For example:

• Plastic film

• Laminated film

• Flexible packaging

• Bags

• Pouches

2. What information needs to be printed?

Is it only:

MFG DATE + EXP DATE + BATCH NO.

or do you also need barcodes, QR codes or logos?

3. What is the packaging machine speed?

The coder needs to match the movement speed of the packaging material.

4. Where should the code be printed?

The available installation space and printing position affect the mounting configuration.

5. What coding characters are required?

Confirm the required numbers, letters and character arrangement before ordering the coding set.

FAQ

What is a hot ink roll coding machine?

A hot ink roll coding machine is a mechanical coding system that uses a heated ink roller and coding characters to print information such as dates, batch numbers and MRP onto packaging materials.

What can the AT1100A print?

The AT1100A is mainly used for basic alphanumeric information including production dates, expiry dates, MRP, batch numbers, lot numbers and product codes.

Can AT1100A print MRP?

Yes. MRP printing is one of the typical applications of hot ink roller coding machines.

Can AT1100A be installed on a packaging machine?

Yes. The AT1100A is designed for integration with automatic packaging equipment, including continuous packaging machines.

Is hot ink roll coding better than TTO?

Neither technology is universally better. A hot ink roll coder is often more suitable for simple and economical date/batch/MRP coding, while TTO is better when you need high-resolution variable data, barcodes, QR codes or graphics.

What consumables does a hot ink roll coder use?

Common consumables include hot ink rollers and coding characters. The appropriate roller and character configuration depends on the machine and application.
