Frequently Asked Questions
What is a batch coding machine?
A batch coding machine prints batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, MRP and barcodes onto bottles, jars, cartons and pouches as they move on a production line. Liquido Colossusfill supplies CIJ, TIJ, thermal-transfer and laser batch coders for Indian packaging lines.
Who supplies batch coding machines in India?
Liquido Colossusfill, based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, supplies and integrates batch coding machines across pharma, food, beverage, cosmetic and chemical packaging lines in India and export markets.
Which coding technologies are best for batch printing?
For bottles and cans, Liquido recommends continuous inkjet (CIJ) for high-speed non-contact coding. For cartons and labels, thermal inkjet (TIJ) gives high-resolution output. For permanent marks on glass or plastic, fibre laser coding is preferred.
Can a Liquido batch coder integrate with my filling or labelling line?
Yes — Liquido mounts every batch coder onto the existing conveyor and triggers it off a bottle-detection sensor, so each pack is coded at full line speed without slowing the filler or labeller.
Does a Liquido batch coder support variable data and serialisation?
Yes — Liquido coders accept variable data feeds for batch, expiry, serial numbers and 2D barcodes, supporting Indian pharma track-and-trace and export serialisation regulations.
How much does a Liquido batch coding machine cost?
Liquido batch coding machines start at approximately ₹1.5 lakh for an entry TIJ unit and range to ₹8 lakh+ for production CIJ or fibre laser systems with line integration. Email sales@liquidofill.com for an exact quote.
