Printing Cut Lines on Membrane Roofing

Membrane roofing material is commonly printed with lines to indicate where the material should be cut or overlapped for proper installation.

A roofing product manufacturer had been using small flexographic code printers to print these lines, but keeping ink levels maintained in the printers was difficult in a high-volume production environment.

Working with Pannier Corporation, they upgraded to a spray marking system. Several spray marking heads are connected to a single ink supply manifold, making ink level management much easier. Heads can be easily repositioned when running different material widths.

Cleaning and maintenance at the end of a shift is also much easier with the spray system. It includes an automated flushing feature to keep the heads clean and free of stray fibers, ensuring easy shut-down and start-up.
