Goes Right Under the Skin

Continuous Inkjet alphaJET is in line with the vision of quality and safety

Maar niet alleen extern, ook binnen de eigen productieprocessen krijgt het onderwerp "schone werkomgeving" een nog hogere waarde in de bedrijfsfilosofieën.

De alphaJET continuous inkjetprinter met zijn extreem lage emissiewaarden is altijd de eerste keuze als het gaat om het voldoen aan deze eisen.

According to ISO-certification.

Headquartered in Berlin MT.DERM GmbH is the market leader for cosmetic devices in the field of injecting substances under the skin.

Colours are produced for cosmetic applications such as permanent make-up, micro-needling and tattoos. In addition to the development of innovative tattoo colours and equipment, MT.DERM is also very successful as a medical technology company in medical applications.

Founded in 1998, MT.DERM products are now exported from Berlin to over 40 countries worldwide. The production for tattoo and cosmetic studios and for hospitals is performed according to ISO 13485 certification.

„The health of our employees and a comfortable working environment are very important to us. Therefore, an alternative to the existing marking device had to be found, which would result in serious changes in the workplace environment.“

Marc Schneider, Head of colour production

01 Base case

Transparent packaging made of PE, PP and PET with various bottle shapes are marked with a3 - line marking including product name, batch number and expirydate.

All products were marked from above with black ink. Acompetitor´s continuous ink jet is integrated into a conveyor belt that runs up to 30 m/min.

The odor nuisance emanating from the existing system caused enormous problems. Although an extraction system was installed, the strong smell emission was no longer acceptable to the employees.

02 So simple yet standard

All alphaJET inkjet printers from Koenig & Bauer Coding GmbH are equipped with RE-SOLVE Ultra (solvent recovery) as standard.

With a solvent consumption of less than 2 ml/h (at 20°C temperature), the alphaJET is therefore also the cleanest and most economical continuous inkjet on the market worldwide.

The results are minimal emission and operation costs with positive effects for:

  • The employees working atthe production line
  • The procurement manager
  • The company

03 Positive effects

The odor nuisance is a thing of the past, now. The employee on the production line feels valued by improvement of his working environment.

The purchaser, who always has to keep an eye on follow-up costs for operating materials, saves the maximum on solvents. After only 0.7 years, the breakeven point is reached. After 5 years the savings are over € 10,000.

The company is pleased about satisfied employees who demonstrably have less sick days.
