Orka Food Technology Specify the Axiohm HTPN9050 from DED

In an initiative that launches a new automatic egg quality testing unit, Orka Food Technology has selected the Axiohm HTPN9050 thermal printer mechanism from DED as the standard printer for their ‘Egg Analyzer’ unit.

Designed to answer the need for more consistent, accurate and objective egg quality testing, the ‘Egg Analyzer’ brings a more reliable approach to the egg testing industry. In the past, results from more traditional methods of testing have been subjective and open to inconsistencies. Using cutting edge technology, the ‘Egg Analyzer’ accurately measures the eggs weight, albumen height and yolk colour, automatically calculating the Haugh unit in just 17 seconds.

Testing anything up to 2000 eggs per day, the supreme reliability of the HTPN9050 will also be tested in this demanding environment along with the eggs! The ‘Egg Analyzer’ prints a single report for each egg tested and is also capable of storing up to 1000 sets of test results in its memory for retrieval if required.

Orka Food Technology selected the Axiohm HTPN9050 because of its small size; the mechanism was specifically designed for use in applications such as these. A particular feature of the Axiohm HTPN9050 which proved useful for Orka Food Technology was the integrated paper bucket and lid allowing the mechanism to be directly integrated into the ‘Egg Analyzer’ without the need for additional engineering.

Oren Eli, Co-CEO of Research and Development at Orka Food Technology commented “The Axiohm HTPN9050 fitted my need for an open frame mechanical printer perfectly, integration has been so simple and working with DED was a pleasure.”
