Atkore Introduces Laser Marking for Labeling in Sanitary, Washdown Environments
Atkore Calbrite has introduced a custom marking process, using fiber laser technology to effectively apply product information and labeling to its stainless-steel conduit and fittings. The fiber laser creates precise, durable markings that do not fade regardless of time, environment, temperature, or abrasion. Fiber lasering offers advantages over paper labels, engraving, or stamping, such as the elimination of harboring points and the chances of labels detaching from products.
Atkore’s stainless steel conduit systems can stand up to the acidic content of cleaning agents and chemical disinfectants in washdown environments, as is common in food and beverage facilities. Fiber laser marking avoids the risk of peeling labels that can compromise sanitation grades, as well as mitigates the issue of bacterial growth around traditional paper labels.
