The Dikai DK-1100A is an industrial hot ink roll date coding machine engineered for continuous horizontal packaging lines. Designed to mount directly onto flow wrappers, pillow packers, and automated bag-making equipment, it provides clear, durable date codes, lot numbers, and batch details at rapid line speeds.
Key Capabilities & Standout Features
- Continuous Packaging Integration: Syncs with continuous horizontal flow wrappers to apply clear, smear-proof codes onto moving flexible packaging film.
- High-Speed Performance: Delivers up to 300 prints per minute at film speeds reaching 35 meters per minute, preventing bottlenecks on fast-moving packaging lines.
- Flexible Font & Type Options: Offers T-Type (axial) and R-Type (radial) print head options to support multi-line date codes, lot numbers, and custom alphanumeric characters.
- Solid-Ink Technology: Uses hot ink rolls ($\Phi 36 \times 32$ mm / $\Phi 36 \times 40$ mm) that dry instantly upon contact, producing crisp, smudge-free impressions on non-porous films.
- Wide Compatibility: Easily mounts onto standard packaging equipment to mark plastic laminates, aluminum foils, polypropylene films, paper pouches, and flexible packaging materials.

Why Choose the Dikai DK-1100A?
- Economical Operation: Hot ink roll consumables offer a significantly lower cost-per-print compared to traditional thermal transfer ribbon (TTO) systems, keeping long-term operational expenses low.
- Instant Drying & Zero Smudging: The thermal activation process melts solid ink during application, which solidifies immediately on the substrate to ensure legible, scannable date codes.
- Simple, Low-Maintenance Setup: Featuring a compact split-body design with a separate control box, the DK-1100A installs easily into tight machine frames with minimal routine maintenance requirements.
