Imaje (UK) Ltd has produced AB0040 ink which can be used by glass manufacturers as security and traceability coding throughout the production, filling and distribution cycle of a beverage bottle. The ink is readable only under UV lamps, but allows the manufacturers to identify batch codes and production dates within their won production process. The inks can withstand the automatic washing process both within the bottle manufacturer's and filler's plants as well as up to two hours pasteurisation at temperatures of 65-85 deg C. The Imaje S4 Plus ink jet printers can apply the code at 200 bottles/min and operate with hardly any maintenance. For more information contact Imaje on fax: 01244 350737
