Spray Mark Technology

High quality marking and precision line tracing

Color-coded markings are crucially important to many technical areas. In industrial applications, color-coded markings provide information about product quality and condition, regulate processes and determine procedures. Whether dot marking in red, indicating inspected quality in green or colored line marking for pipes, profiles or continuous products – REA Spray Marking Technology has even more to offer: Using spray mark heads as a spray mark block, one can write large texts, up to 700 mm in height. Dot by dot!

Key benefits

With spray mark technology it is possible to mark individual dots, a line of dots, or continous lines. The print head has only one nozzle hole that either opens or closes according to the printing command. Color, dot or line marking can be widely used in various industries for quality control or control processes. Several ink types and colors are available for different materials and surfaces.

Spray mark system simply consists an ink tank, spray mark head, and accessories such as hoses and fittings. In simpler applications, separate control unit may not be needed. Printing signal can be submitted directly to the print head with a push button or a sensor.

  • Dots or lines of 3-60mm high can be printed
  • Marking distance from the object is 3-100mm
  • Various ink types and colors for different materials and surfaces
  • Mark can be done from any direction
  • Printhead sizes are small and weight only 90-400g
  • Simple technology guarantee maintenance-free operation
REA JET One Dot System
Spray Mark Technology

The REA JET One Dot Systems (EDS) are particularly well suited to very fine dot and line markings. The dot size is configured by selecting the nozzle size and by varying the material pressure, and the stepless setting on the controller.

REA JET Spray Mark Heads
Spray Mark Technology

Modularly structured REA JET Spray Mark Heads can apply precise dots and lines to porous and non-porous surfaces. With extremely short cycle times of 20 ms, speeds of up to 100 m/min are easily possible. The dot size can be freely adjusted by controlling the material pressure, the notch setting on the spray mark head and the nozzle size used.

REA JET Spray Mark Blocks
Spray Mark Technology

REA JET Spray Mark Blocks are used wherever product marking must be clearly visible from a distance. Alphanumeric information such as material descriptions, batch numbers and logos with a print height of 700 mm can be printed. In the aluminum and steel industries, the use of heat resistant paints and hot mark paints is an important requirement for modern spray technology systems.

NEW: Our REA JET Spray Mark Blocks can now also be operated by the new REA JET TITAN Platform. Several spray mark heads are combined into one spray mark block and operated by the new REA JET TITAN Platform, the uniform operating concept for all REA Coding and Marking Technologies. With this combination you can print large alphanumeric texts, which are well legible from distance. Ideal if you want to replace stencils or are looking to make the transition to the digital age, this is the perfect solution.
