Fox’s Biscuits has replaced old, costly and messy case coders with 14 robust and reliable TJ500 ther- mal jet printers from Allen Coding. Installed at the biscuit manufac- turer’s plant in West Yorkshire, the cost effective TJ500 was chosen for its clean operation, low mainte- nance, minimal operator involve- ment and consistent print quality. Allen Coding’s TJ500 thermal jet printers are being used by Fox’s Biscuits to apply a variety of date formats, such as self-calculating time, Julian and calendar date codes, on to both outer cases and primary product cartons. The units, which are primarily fitted to Endo- line case sealers in this instance, are operating at speeds up to 20 ppm (packs per minute) on the case code application and 120 ppm on the primary packs.
