Industrial Ink-Dot ID System

The Ink-Dot I.D. System is a spray-machine identification system for container coating operations.

Overview


Immediately identify the source of unacceptable coatings and prevent unnecessary line stoppages with Nordson Ink-Dot I.D.

Did you know?

When a spray machine is coating improperly, you can produce 300 or more reject cans per minute.

Waste no time

Every minute counts with today’s high speed container coating lines. Cans with unacceptable metal exposure must be recoated or scrapped. And production must be stopped to identify which spray machine is producing the rejects. Maximize your productivity by eliminating unnecessary machine shutdowns.

The Nordson Ink-Dot identification system is designed to improve process monitoring by quickly identifying malfunctioning spray machines on the coating line. The system applies a small, inconspicuous dot of ink on the bottom of each can as it enters the spray machine. A different ink color is used for each machine on the line, so you can immediately identify the source of unacceptable coatings.

 

  • Faster, more efficient process reduces labor costs of frequent testing
  • Enamel-rater and metal exposure tests can be performed on actual production cans
  • Easily applies colored and UV inks
  • Ink-Dot Marking System
  • Ink-Dot Reservoir Manifold

“We’ve been associated with Nordson for years and they’ve always provided superior technical knowledge and support. We considered other alternatives, but knew Nordson would back their
technology with service and support we could count on.”

- Brian Lehmann, Finishing Engineer at Kawneer North America

We experiences significant paint savings, stretching its use of paint from 21 drums per gallon to about 32 drums per gallon with the A7A gun systems. Paint changes can also be done on-the-fly, saving production time and material. Since we installed the Nordson system, we haven’t had a single drum of waste.
