Domino Printing Sciences has launched an Egg Pack Printing Traverser (EPPT) – a dedicated solution for high-speed, multi-lane egg production line coding, designed to enhance accuracy and traceability while reducing operating costs.
The EPPT combines Domino’s Gx‑Series thermal inkjet (TIJ) printers with a traverser system engineered for stable and accurate printing across all pack types – including moulded fibre, pre‑labelled fibre, and rigid plastic packaging. Offering seamless integration with Moba Omnia and Sanovo GraderPro graders, the EPPT supports continuous and accurate production, operating as a natural extension of existing workflows.
Available with either the Gx150i or Gx350i printers to suit different line requirements, the system uses Domino’s cartridge-based TIJ technology, which reduces waste associated with traditional label applications – such as silicone backing paper and labels – and minimises mechanical servicing. This delivers a low-maintenance, cost-effective option to improve both productivity and sustainability.
In production environments, the Gx350i-based traverser has demonstrated high-resolution coding at speeds in excess of 50 packs per minute, matching the throughput of today’s most advanced graders, with capacity to support even higher speeds as operations evolve.
The EPPT also supports inline code verification, connecting seamlessly to smart vision systems that detect unprinted or defective packs and enable automatic removal before dispatch.
Domino’s TIJ technology is already well established in the sector for delivering consistent, retailer-compliant QR codes powered by GS1 and enabling full ‘egg‑to‑pallet’ traceability for major producers, including Grupo CAC. The EPPT builds on this capability by offering a single, future‑proof egg packaging coding platform for producers looking to streamline operations and consolidate print technologies.
The EPPT is quick and easy to install – taking less than a minute – an essential benefit for operators who need to remove and reinstall printers or traversers rapidly for wet cleaning, with minimum interruption to production.
Egg producers seeking to unify coding across diverse pack types, improve print quality at speed, and reduce downtime can learn more about the EPPT solution here.
