METAL PRODUCTS

The ZANASI range of industrial inkjet printers is specifically designed to provide high performance even in demanding production environments that demand durability and efficiency, with work shifts that require constant 24-hour operation. The industrial marking systems ensure high-quality coding solutions for pipe and tube industry on profiles, laminates, sheets, tubes and a wide variety of substrates.

Reliable construction is housed in a compact, rugged stainless-steel cabinet with high IP protection level for perfect integration even in hard-to-reach areas. The tube and pipe industrial inkjet printer is easy to maintain, ensuring continuity of production and avoiding production line interruptions.

At the end of the manufacturing process, aluminum sheets must be marked (metal stencilling) according to international regulations and standards.

This step of metal inkjet coding of tube and pipe and marking solutions for pipe and tube industry is a critical step to ensure traceability and sheet identification throughout the supply chain.

ZANASI inkjet industrial metal systems for coding and marking of tube and pipe can simultaneously control and manage more than one printhead to mark small and large aluminum surfaces (pipe and tube stenciler).

Multiple configurations make it possible to manage customizable ‘just-in-time’ solutions, providing maximum flexibility:

• repetitive and consistent pipe and tube marking of alphanumeric text at fixed intervals using the ‘print repeater’ function (tube and pipe inkjet printer), manageable in real time or remotely;
• management of multiple print heads with independent and simultaneous creation of different messages for each head (pipe and tube inkjet printer);
• printing that includes various information such as alloy type, thickness, dimensions, and the manufacturer’s name or logo, as well as specific codes for traceability and quality control.

The production of metal products such as pipes and profiles involves hot rolling and extrusion, welding, and the bending of plates and sheets, creating an extremely challenging production environment.

ZANASI has formulated a range of high-viscosity, high-contrast inks specifically for this purpose, ensuring perfect readability even on dark-colored surfaces and for treated materials, such as galvanized, painted, or powder-coated items. This range allows for rapid drying and reliable adhesion even on oily or treated surfaces, to enable:

• high-quality coding on curved surfaces (pipe and tube coding);

• high-contrast inks for printing on dark substrates;

• fast-drying inks with perfect adhesion and resistance;

• high-definition printing for traceability, product information, regulations, certifications, quality marks, and logos.
