The enterprise-grade Date Coder Machine, developed for high-speed production, from Shanghai Honghua Digital Equipment Co., Ltd. supplies industrial marking technology. This technology generates variable barcodes, QR codes, expiry dates and batch numbers in real time at speeds of 100 to 300 meters per minute.
Footprint 100 × 100 × 500 mm Power consumption 10 KW Our method enables us to label precisely on flexible packaging, plastic substrates and automobile parts. This solution minimises operating expenditures and meets global traceability requirements with 20 years of manufacturing experience, 13 technology patents and a 12 month warranty with lifetime technical support.
The solution tackles key manufacturing issues, including compliance with FDA and EU regulations, avoidance of manual marking mistakes, and prevention of expensive product recalls. It employs thermal inkjet technology, and may be equipped with original printheads from Kyocera, Ricoh and Fujifilm.
We have created a configurable RIP program that permits the simultaneous printing of time-sensitive information on several lanes. The machine provides high contrast output on porous and non-porous materials such as PE, PET, aluminium and cardboard.
IP-rated protection for washdown conditions is a benefit to your manufacturing line. Modular design enables for fast printhead changeover with little downtime.

Seamless Integration with Existing Production Lines
Our solution interfaces directly with common narrow web and wide web flexo printing machines, slitting machines and vertical form-fill-seal machines. The Date Coder Machine frame and printing width are adapted to the size of your manufacturing line.
This adaptability avoids the expense of retrofitting. Existing process, better marking.
Maximum Throughput with High-Speed Stability
The equipment is running reliably at speeds of 100-300 meters/minute, which is the pace of high-volume label printing and conversion processes. This compatibility in speed reduces manufacturing bottlenecks.
You really become better at processing overall. Marking precision is maintained over long manufacturing runs.
Professional-Grade Printhead Tech
Original imported printheads from top manufacturers for accuracy and long service life. These parts are clog resistant by nature and have constant drop location.
Low failure rates means less maintenance downtime. You get consistent production throughout numerous shifts without any deterioration in quality.
Variable Data Printing (VDP) at its most sophisticated
RIP software custom variable codes are created on the fly without affecting manufacturing speed. This feature is available in GS1-128, DataMatrix and QR code formats to cover all worldwide traceability needs.
Your products comply with worldwide requirements for pharmaceutical cold chain tracking, food safety documentation and automotive parts serialisation. Clear and definite identification of each unit.

Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Packaging
The Date Coder Machine prints compliance lot numbers and expiry dates on blister packs, vials of vaccine and packaging for medical devices. Special low-temperature inks that are still readable after freezing exist.
Your goods are under intense regulatory scrutiny. It fulfils limited drug track and trace requirements.
Food and Beverage Manufacturing
Our device can detect glass bottles, aluminium cans and flexible pouches with moisture-resistant labels in high-humidity bottling environments. Fast drying inks on cold fill items avoid smudging.
You eliminate waste from unreadable marking. The gadget is working nicely in humid conditions.
Flexible & Converting Packagings
The integration with VFFS machines enables for high contrast batch coding on snack, spice and dry goods laminated films. This technique is used in dusty food processing industries .
Packaging is designed for retail display. Variable promo codes allow marketing activities without line adjustments.
Automotive & Electronics Manufacturing
Permanent serial numbers, part codes and origin information on plastic parts, PCBs and metal housings facilitate warranty tracing and quality control. Ink formulations survive industrial washing.
Your parts are 100% traceable. Recall management is more effective.
All products are tested for quality before delivery. Inspection processes consist of:
All systems are CE and ISO 9001 certified. We supply equipment intended for harsh industrial settings.

Q: How does the machine prevent nozzle clogging during production breaks?
A: Automatic flushing cycles and sealed printhead technology prevent ink from drying up in the nozzles during downtime. This ensures reproducible output on production restart.
Q: Is it possible to print on uneven or dark surfaces?
A: Yes. Pigmented inks such as opaque white and yellow provide good visibility on dark glass, coloured plastics and curved containers. Adjustable throw distances for unusual geometries.
Q: What is the average drying time for the ink?
A: The drying time depends on the substrate and the solvent base and goes from 0.5 to 2 seconds. This allows for instant handling without smearing.
Q: How frequently does the equipment need maintenance?
A: Most systems require filter and core replacements every 3,000 to 5,000 operation hours, depending on environmental conditions. Our modular design cuts down on servicing time.
Q: Does the equipment support international bar code standards?
A: GS1-128, DataMatrix, QR codes and other GS1-compliant barcodes.
