The Markem-Imaje 9450 Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printer is a leading solution designed to enhance production line performance, ensuring sharp, precise marking while minimising operational costs.
The Markem-Imaje 9450 is a high-speed, industrial-grade inkjet printer tailored for coding and marking applications across various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and industrial manufacturing. With its high-speed capabilities, durability, and efficiency-focused design, the 9450 is built to meet the demands of modern production lines.
One of the standout features of the Markem-Imaje 9450 is its ability to print up to five lines of text, making it highly versatile for businesses with diverse coding needs. It can achieve speeds of up to 6.6 meters per second, allowing it to keep up with fast-moving production lines without sacrificing print quality.
The 9450 supports various coding requirements, including alphanumeric text, logos, and multiple barcode formats like EAN8, EAN13, UPCA, and UPCE. Character heights range from 1.2 mm to 11.2 mm, ensuring suitability for different packaging types.
Manufactured with a stainless-steel cabinet and printhead casing, the 9450 is designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions. It boasts an IP55 rating, providing resistance against dust, moisture, and challenging production environments, ensuring reliable operation even under extreme conditions.
Unlike traditional CIJ printers that require frequent manual adjustments, the Markem-Imaje 9450 integrates an innovative cartridge system that simplifies setup and minimises ink wastage. The printer’s intuitive interface and automatic cleaning functions reduce downtime and maintenance needs, helping production lines run smoothly.
Another significant benefit is its built-in consumable monitoring system, which alerts operators when ink and solvent levels are low. This feature prevents unexpected production halts, leading to enhanced efficiency and cost savings.
The Markem-Imaje 9450 is designed to maximise Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). Compared to other industrial CIJ printers, it can reduce consumable usage by up to 20%, thanks to its optimised ink circuit and patented printhead technology.
Additionally, the printer allows manufacturers to monitor operational costs in real time, providing a clear picture of consumable consumption and improving cost management. Operators can replace ink cartridges while the machine is running, eliminating unnecessary downtime.
The Markem-Imaje 9450 comes in specialised variants tailored to specific industry requirements:
For industries dealing with extrusion processes - such as cable, pipe, and wire manufacturing - the 9450 E is a customised solution offering high-precision printing at speeds of up to 1,000 meters per minute. This model supports a wide range of inks, including pigmented, semi-pigmented, and dye-based options, ensuring clear and durable markings on various substrates.
The 9450 S is a specialised model for beverage manufacturers, optimised to print on up to 120,000 units per hour. Its Mark&Read® system ensures precise coding, reducing the risk of product waste and recalls. The printer is compatible with moisture-resistant black ink, making it ideal for printing on glass, PET bottles, metal cans, and flexible pouches.
When compared to competing printers, the Markem-Imaje 9450 holds a strong advantage in several areas:
Higher efficiency: 20% lower consumable consumption compared to similar models.
More cost-effective operation: Real-time cost monitoring and lower maintenance requirements.
Faster printing speeds: Supports 396 meters per minute, keeping up with high-speed production lines.
However, businesses must consider their unique operational needs, such as software costs and compatibility with existing production systems, before making a final purchasing decision.
The Markem-Imaje 9450 CIJ printer stands out as a reliable, cost-efficient, and high-performance coding solution for manufacturers. Its ability to deliver consistent, high-speed printing, along with its robust design and reduced maintenance costs, makes it an excellent investment for businesses aiming to optimise their production processes.
Whether you’re in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, extrusion, or industrial manufacturing sector, the Markem-Imaje 9450 offers a future-proof solution that enhances productivity while reducing operational costs.
