Case Coder Series 450
The Kiwi Coders, Series 450 are literally the workhorses of the case marking world. They're virtually indestructible. The simplicity of their friction-driven operation keeps them running cost-effectively.
These coders are designed to mark cases on top, side or bottom, depending on the positioning of the unit. They offer three inking systems and can be positioned above, below or alongside the conveyor line as required. Their low profile allows them to be installed in restricted spaces, and allows them to print to within 7/8" of a carton's bottom.
Three choices of type mounting are offered: channelock D, held securely by plastic channels; baselock, held by interlocking plastic fingers; and adhesive-backed or Magflex (magnetic-backed) mats, which hold multi-line copy as well as logos and graphic designs.
The most useful feature of the Series 450 coders has proved to be the quick-change marking wheel . A twist of the locking knob allows the wheel to be removed and another—preset with new print data—mounted and aligned with the splined hub.
