In developing the new series, Domino says it has “rewritten the rules of coding and marking” by revisiting the underlying science behind CIJ and introducing innovations in three key areas. Domino's three 'pillars' of innovation across the Ax-Series are the new i-Pulse print head and inks, the i-Techx electronics and software platform, and Domino Design, a fresh approach to the total product design to maximise productivity and ease of operation. "CIJ remains the coding solution of choice across many markets and industries, but we saw the opportunity to rethink three fundamental elements of the technology to deliver measurable benefits for customers and change the way CIJ is perceived." says Paul Doody, Marketing Director at Domino Printing Sciences. "With the new Ax-Series, Domino can now offer a choice of CIJ systems that will set new benchmarks for consistent high quality printing, productivity and cost of ownership, making CIJ a future- proof investment." Domino has gone back to the original science of CIJ technology to develop the new i-Pulse print head and unique frequency-matched drop generator. i-Pulse controls individual ink drop formation to create the perfect drop every time, delivering significant advances in droplet accuracy, placement and ink usage for reliable, high- speed and consistent code quality. i-Techx is Domino's new, flexible, high- performance electronics and software platform. It is designed to optimise customers return on investment through the printers' lifetime and eliminate coding errors by enabling the smooth integration of the Ax-Series into the production line and service support environment while taking usability to a new level. Domino Design summarises a holistic design approach that delivers a step change on the current generation of CIJ systems in the market to deliver printers that are robust, reliable, and easy to use in the harshest environments. For example, the Ax350i and Ax550i feature an IP66 sealed electronics enclosure and unique plenum air cooling system that make them suitable for washdown conditions, while guaranteeing protection against steam and contaminants. The Ax550i (pictured) is supplied in a marine-grade stainless steel cabinet for the harshest production environments. 14 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS www.domino-uk.com For more information visit: New AX-Series “rewrites the rules” A new London landmark looming? Fourpure is a young craft brewery founded in 2013 by the brothers Daniel and Thomas Lowe. With John Driebergen, the head brewer, in charge of production and with a small team of brewers by his side, Daniel’s passion for beer amounted to a prospering new enterprise. From the very beginning, Daniel and John had an eye on comprehensive quality control. Fourpure is one of the first craft breweries to invest in and benefit from the so-called Craft2Craft Package by Anton Paar, a combination of a DMA 35 handheld density meter and a CboxQC At-line meter for the simultaneous measurement of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) and dissolved oxygen (O2) that also offers an insight into the amount of nitrogen in beer. This package has potential for future expansion by the same manufacturer. This investment made the daily workload for Fourpure easier. The time saving is also remarkable, even if the measurements are now more frequent due to easier handling: Daniel and John’s expectations for a more consistent product composition resulting from quality monitoring worked out. “The investment in quality also allows us to grow with confidence in what we are producing,” says Daniel. At Fourpure, everyone in production uses the instruments, DMA 35 as well as CboxQC At-line, every day numerous times during fermentation, conditioning before and after transfers, and also pre- and post-packaging. So what is the best time to visit London? A Saturday! If you are planning to come to London, make sure that you are around on a Saturday between 11 am and 8 pm because this is the time when Fourpure opens its doors. Walk the extra mile to visit Fourpure, do not miss out! www.anton-paar.com For more information visit: News PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT 14_Layout 1 12/02/2017 09:14 Page 1
