Ska Fabricating specializes in the design and integration of Date Inline Coding Systems. Date coding cans has become a hot topic in the micro brewing industry. Ensuring that customers are buying fresh product should be a primary concern for brewers and date coding your product is an important step.
After many requests to come up with a good date coding solution for our customers Ska Fabricating came up with an alternative to date coding in your rinse cage. While date coding in the rinse cage gives marginal results, there is a need to have a better system out there.
Ska Fabricating has developed a Quality Control Conveyor system to implement can drying, date coding and low fill checking all onto one conveyor. Our modular system is easily implemented between your filler/seamer and your method of six packing. This is a bolt on solution that is easily implementable. We make a custom bracket for the Markem Imaje print head so it integrates effortlessly into the line.
