Leach Farms is a company in Berlin that specializes in the cultivation and processing of celery and Spanish sweet onions. Now the company has given up on the more primitive shipping box code printing methods used in the past. Leach Farms simplifies the identification of boxes and products by upgrading packaging operations using machines from ITW subsidiary Diagraph.
Now, this family-run company, with more than 50 years of history, processed foods and ingredients, refrigerates chopped celery cubes, sweet green onions/packs in a shipping box that can hold 45 pounds of cargo, to the eastern United States and Canada. Raw material processor shipments.
Leach Farms installed the Diagraph large-format on-demand inkjet printer on a custom-built RLC 2065 RLC 2052 movable conveyor. This is an integrated valve system. The Diagraph supplied conveyors are equipped with casters, and the conveyor and coding equipment can be easily removed or moved into the packing workshop as required. This continuously-operating IJ/3000 printer is just enough to meet the requirements of Leach Farms. Four one-inch printheads can print at 650 feet per minute, while Leach Farms processes about 116.66 pounds of produce per minute at a line speed of 65 feet per minute.
Clear and stable quality
According to Diagraph, the integrated valve in this system has a special rubber membrane that can precisely control the ink flow in the valve opening in the print head and work in coordination with the column valve in the system to make the final flow out of the system screw. The ink volume of the line tube is moderate, and the printed handwriting is also eye-catching and clear.
Flexibility is crucial
Leach Farms uses this line to be seasonal, so flexibility is crucial. All equipment on the production line must be removable, so if the equipment needs to be moved, then the ink printer should be able to cut off the power connection at any time and move it to a temporary storage place for packing bulk products. Other removable devices are an external ink pump and an ink tank that is located below the controller and overhangs the carriage.
Although Hankes said that the company has not significantly reduced labor costs so far, Leach Farms has saved the time it takes to update the code, and the printed information is now clear and accurate. He concluded by saying: "Although there hasn't been a drastic reduction in personnel, now we can give our employees more time to do other things. Our shipping containers now look more professional, and the cost of the system is also higher than It is very important that other similar systems are much lower!"
