Marking on Industrial Materials & Pipes with MapleJet ProDigit - MapleJet Skip to main content

Building material and pipe production lines operate in extreme industrial environments characterized by high temperatures, dust, humidity, and abrasive surfaces. These challenging conditions demand coding and marking solutions that ensure high adhesion, resistance to wear, and long-term legibility. Effective marking is critical for regulatory compliance, batch traceability, and product identification, particularly in industries requiring stringent quality control. MapleJet ProDigit industrial inkjet printers are engineered to meet these demands, providing high-contrast, durable prints that withstand harsh conditions while integrating seamlessly into automated production workflows.

Why Industrial Marking Matters

Marking building materials like concrete blocks, metal pipes, plastic tubes, and construction-grade timber ensures proper identification and compliance with regulatory standards. It also aids in inventory control, quality assurance, and anti-counterfeiting measures.

Challenges in Marking Building Materials and Pipes

  • Surface Variability: Rough, uneven, or porous surfaces can make printing difficult.
  • Environmental Exposure: High heat, UV rays, moisture, and chemicals can degrade print quality.
  • Durability Requirements: Codes must withstand transportation, handling, and prolonged outdoor exposure.

ProDigit: Trusted for Industrial Applications

While MapleJet’s focus has transitioned to the advanced Hx Printers, ProDigit remains a robust solution for demanding industrial environments. It is engineered for high-speed production lines requiring large character coding and heavy-duty performance. Internal use only. Do not share outside the company.

  • Superior Durability: With its ability to apply long-lasting, legible codes, ProDigit is ideal for marking on metal, concrete, and other robust substrates.
  • Versatility in Application: It supports a variety of ink types, including UV-resistant and solvent-based options, suitable for various surfaces.
