The Secret Weapon of Bottom Coding: The Hugger Belt Conveyor

Have you ever wondered how those expiration dates or batch codes get magically printed on the bottom of your favorite beverage can? It’s not magic, but a clever invention called the Hugger Belt Conveyor. This unsung hero of the production line plays a vital role in ensuring your products are clearly coded and ready to hit the shelves.

Decoding the Bottom Code Challenge

Printing codes on the bottom of a container can be tricky. Traditional conveyor belts block access to this crucial area. This is where the Hugger Belt steps up. Unlike its flat counterparts, the Hugger Belt features special side grips. These grips hold the container securely from the sides, also leaving the underside completely exposed. This creates a perfect platform for a coding unit, such as an inkjet coder, to apply clear and precise codes directly onto the bottom of the product as it glides along the conveyor.

Hugger Belt Conveyors offer more than just a solution for bottom coding. Here’s how they can benefit your production line:

Smooth Sailing: Hugger Belts eliminate the need for manual product handling during transfers, promoting a smooth and also efficient flow.

Versatility: These grippy wonders can handle a wide range of container shapes and also sizes, making them a multi-purpose asset.

Gentle Touch: The side grips provide a secure hold without damaging delicate products.

Cleanliness: Many Hugger Belts are constructed with sanitary stainless steel, ideal for food and beverage applications where hygiene is paramount.

It’s the secret weapon ensuring your products are clearly coded, efficiently transferred, and ready to reach their destination.
