ICE Zodiac Hawk (53mm)
Ideal For: Flexible packaging | VFFS | Flow Wrappers | Thermoformers | Labellers | Sachets | Trays
The ICE Zodiac Hawk is the leading 53mm thermal transfer printer on the market, with proven reliability, flexibility and accuracy. It boasts integrated print checking (iAssure™), all electronic printhead design (Intelligent Motion™), and easy usability with the CLARiTY interface ensuring the right code is on the right product. The Zodiac Hawk guarantees a fast return on investment by working at speeds of up to 500PPM, coupled with a simple cassette with 1,200 metre ribbon capacity for increased throughput and reduced changeover time.
The world’s first Thermal Transfer Overprinter that checks its own print
The Zodiac Hawk Thermal Transfer Printer has been designed to help businesses in their drive to achieve improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by being the first of its kind to report on all three elements of OEE, with quality now included alongside performance and availability. The integrated iAssure™ technology gives code quality assurance by catching print defects quickly to minimise production disruption and avoid supermarket fines.
Designed for modern production
The Zodiac Hawk is ideal for flexible packaging, labels, and glossy card applications that require variable content to be printed, including regulatory, traceability or use by dates. It can now also print on newer flexible packaging types including resealable pouches, stick packs and sachets.
The Zodiac Hawk’s small footprint and modular design integrates easily into today’s complex packaging systems, such as Vertical & Horizontal Form Fill & Seal Machines, Thermoform & Tray Sealing Machines and Label Applicators, making it popular within the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
iAssure™
iAssure™ is a built-in code quality checker that requires no additional hardware, installation or training, reducing waste and rework. It provides early warning of any potential loss of code quality, reducing the risk of customer complaints or the possibility of a product recall, with its cost implications and potential damage to brand reputation.
Operators can easily measure production quality on the CLARiTY screen and can view the prints in real-time to assess print quality and drive improvements.
CLARiSUITE
The Zodiac Hawk integrates into your production operations by using powerful coding software, CLARiSUITE, connecting your factory to streamline your processes. This allows operators to use consistent templates across your site to ensure brand integrity, whilst the intuitive operating system is simple and easy to use increasing productivity whilst reducing user errors.
