To keep up with a grader, the coder must match the grader’s eggs/min and share speed and trigger signals so printing fires exactly when eggshells arrive.
Mounting the coder on the grader’s conveyor (or feeding roller) makes coding inline. Multi-head designs code whole trays in the grader’s beat, avoiding missed or double prints.
Always size the coder above the grader’s peak rate so coding is never the bottleneck.
Why SHICAI: For busy lines, the SHICAI Six Head Egg Inkjet Printer codes a full 5×6 tray in one pass at 20 trays per minute — around 600 eggs per minute, or 36,000 per hour.
