ICE Zodiac+

Solid state coder. All ICE printers are designed and manufactured using state-of-the-art technology for high performance, reliability and precision quality coding of real-time date codes, barcodes, graphics, etc. Documented high operational reliability. Economical operation. Precision coding of packages and products.

FLEXIBLE PACKAGING CODING

The Zodiac Solid State Coder is the latest development in thermal-transfer coding. With thousands of units installed all over the world, the Zodiac Solid State Coder embodies a new generation in terms of performance, and ensures best-in-class reliability, precision and the lowest operating costs.

  • Unique ribbon advance with constant ribbon tension (patented)
  • No frictional clutches, no brakes, no manual settings or adjustments
  • High utilisation of the transfer ribbon, minimising the price per print
  • Both intermittent and continuous printing on the same machine

The range of Zodiac thermal transfer printers provides fully scalable, high resolution (300 dpi) coding in dimensions up to 107 mm x 200 mm. ICE Zodiac+ is ideal for coding flexible packing film, laminated surfaces, labels and cardboard boxes. The ICE Zodiac+ control unit allows the connection of up to four printers, which makes it possible to update all four printers at the same time with the latest job.

The ICE Zodiac+ is available with either a 53 mm or a 107 mm printhead and as both right-hand and left-hand models for the best possible operation. If the printer needs to be moved later on, its direction is easy to change.

The ICE Zodiac+ is a highly reliable machine, with low operating costs and comprehensive built-in diagnostics and support for installation, optimisation and troubleshooting. These aspects ensure that ICE printers minimise manufacturing costs and interruptions, while providing top-quality real-time labelling of date codes, times, barcodes and graphics.

The ICE Zodiac+ is available with a wide variety of set-up options, which means that this printer can meet the labelling needs of almost every packing line. The ICE Zodiac+ ribbon-advance system has no clutches or brakes, and requires no mechanical setting or adjustment as all movements are controlled by stepper motors.

A unique “washable” model of the ICE Zodiac+ is also available. Although it cannot print underwater, the printer can easily be tightly encased in a special cassette so it can remain attached to the packing machine during wash-down.
