Tonejet unveiled its first production Cyclone at InPrint 2017
Cyclone, the first industrial production direct-to-can digital printing machine, was shown by ToneJet at InPrint 2017.
Illustrating direct to shape digital beverage can printing, the Tonejet Cyclone, with integrated Rockwell Automation iTRAK transport system, was on show throughout InPrint 2017 from 14-16 November.
‘The Tonejet Cyclone brings together several patented innovations,’ commented Marvin Foreman, sales manager at Tonejet. ‘Whether used as a stand-alone digital printer, or integrated into a can production line, the Cyclone not only significantly reduces production time, it also allows manufacturers to print very small runs of each can design. Manufacturers are able to cost-effectively decorate each can individually if desired, representing incredible opportunities for beverage brands.’
Combining Tonejet’s digital print engine with Rockwell Automation’s iTRAK intelligent transport system, the Cyclone allows different processes to each have their own operation time without impacting overall throughput, resulting in a much shorter total processing time.
