THERMO THERMO ALLEN HK50 Hot Ink Coder System

The Thermo Allen HK50 Hot Ink Coder System prints expiration dates, manufacturing dates, batch numbers, lot codes, product identification, and logos on plastic films, foil laminates, labels, pouches, and cartons, delivering permanent marks at up to 1,100 prints per minute. Designed for continuous inline coding on form-fill-seal machines, flow wrappers, labeling equipment, and automated packaging lines, it mounts machine-mounted inline and uses hot ink transfer coding to produce durable marks on flexible packaging. Key specifications include an electronic control unit, availability in 110 VAC or 220–240 VAC configurations (model dependent), and maximum web speeds up to 295 ft/min (90 m/min), with compatibility across automated packaging and labeling equipment for food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cosmetics, beverage, and consumer goods packaging. The HK50 supports printing on a range of flexible materials, including plastic films, foil laminates, labels, pouches, and cartons, to enable permanent product identification and package traceability. Common replacements include Allen 50/30 Hot Foil Coder, Allen S-Compact 50/30 Hot Foil Coder, and Allen 50/30 Super Compact Hot Foil Coder.
