Laser systems making their mark in the food industry

Macsa ID’s SPA CB30 PLUS laser system has recently achieved a high definition mark on the surface of bread products. The machine enabled high speed marking without direct contact, helping to preserve quality and all of the properties of the food item itself.

Despite their hard yet thin shape, delicate breadsticks and crackers remain intact during the marking process. Macsa ID UK’s CO2 laser creates a groove in the food surface that highlights the marking.

Neil Greatorex, Managing Director at Macsa ID UK comments: “Direct laser marking is being increasingly utilised by the food industry with manufacturers and processors recognising that eliminating unnecessary packaging and labels that cannot be recycled helps improve sustainability.

“Marking directly onto food with laser technology reduces packaging costs and consumable waste helping to improve all important environmental credentials.”

Laser marking directly onto food allows for bulk or individual selling whilst maintaining traceability. The brand remains identifiable which is particularly useful for businesses that previously opted for a corporate style label.

Macsa ID UK’s powerful and fast SPA CB30 PLUS CO2 laser is designed to meet the most demanding coding requirements and is capable of handling a wide range of substrates such as paper, cardboard, glass and plastics.

It is available with premium lenses and Vibration Compensation System (VCS) to ensure high resolution marking even on high-speed production lines.
