Printing on Extrusion Parts

At Linx we understand that coding and marking in the extrusion industry is highly challenging.  There’s no easy way to stop the production line if there is a technical difficulty without huge consequence for costly waste.  Add to this the harsh operating environments with possible heat and dust, and the task of minimising downtime is even more pressing. 

Solutions for printing on extruded materials  

Linx provides the complete printing solution.  We ensure our Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) coders are robust enough for the task at hand: with IP ratings up to IP65, our coders can operate in high temperatures and dusty environments.  Linx printers deliver excellent print quality and the wide range of inks provide exceptional adhesion, even at fast production speeds.  

You can be confident that if you use a laser coder with its permanent marking capability, or continuous inkjet, together with its inks giving excellent adhesion, you will meet the demands of the high-output extrusion industry. 

Linx extrusion printers offer versatile coding to include the printing of logos, text, and large codes for extrusions. Our products can deliver accurate code placement anywhere you need it, onto a range of substrates including extruded plastics, metal and rubber. 

Extrusion coding and marking printers

Linx printers can be mounted and moved to suit your production line requirements, delivering great codes on a wide range of extruded products We can help you to reduce waste, maximise production throughput and meet deadlines. 

Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers 

Linx’s efficient CIJ printers are easy to install and have the flexibility to be moved and mounted onto different production lines, so you can plan your schedule for maximum output.   

The range of CIJ coders come with large, intuitive user interfaces and colour touch screen functionality.  They are easy to set up, keeping human errors to a minimum and your re-work costs down.   

Laser Coders 

Depending on your choice of substrate, our laser technology could provide an alternative option for coding and marking.  The codes produced by the laser marking machines can be in a variety of sizes and do not suffer degradation through storage of the product.  And as no ink is involved, drying time is not an issue and the codes remain smudge-free.
