A Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) egg printer constantly pumps ink through a nozzle, breaking it into a stream of charged droplets. An electric field deflects the ones needed for the code onto the eggshell while unused drops are recycled.
CIJ excels on high-speed, long-distance printing over irregular surfaces and runs continuously without stopping for a cartridge change. It is widely used where uptime and speed matter most.
The trade-off is more maintenance (ink system and solvent) and higher running cost than TIJ. Many egg lines choose TIJ for resolution and CIJ for raw speed and integration with graders.
Why SHICAI: The SHICAI Six Nozzle Egg Coding Machine uses exactly this conveyor, sensor and auto-lift head design, and arrives as a complete station with its own conveyor.
