Model 9326
This model is designed to mark only line patterns on the heavy-coated side of tinplate that is moving vertically up or down. The printer consists of a printing die roll, solution transfer roll, and wick board assembly. The printing roll holds die bands that are placed on 0.50″ centers across the width of the drum. Pannier now offers special wick boards to help manufacturers reduce costs and quickly change print patterns.
Model 4440
This model is designed to identify the light-coated side of tinplate with geometric patterns to illustrate the coating weight. The printer consists of a die roll, transfer roll, and pick-up roll. The die roll contains the die bands, placed on 1″ centers, which contact the strip and apply the pattern of marks to the surface of the tinplate.
Apply a line mark or code along the edges of tinplate. Pannier’s Edge Tracking Control System ensures consistent marks on the left-hand and right-hand sides of moving tinplate.
