Upgrading to the Future of Coding and Marking with HSAJET® MCX

Vreta Kloster Bryggeri, a Swedish brewery producing between 150,000 and 200,000 bottles of beer each year, knows the importance of getting every detail right. Clear and reliable best-before marking is essential, and for many years, they’ve relied on the HSAJET® Micron to deliver just that. Compact and easy to use, the Micron has been a dependable part of their production, providing consistent, high-quality printing that supports the brewery’s commitment to quality.

Over time, the brewery’s needs naturally evolved. With growing demands for more advanced text editing, easier management of multiple print jobs, and streamlined cartridge handling, it became clear that a more versatile solution would help support their operations even better. The MCX proved to be the ideal choice, offering the flexibility and modern features that aligned perfectly with these new requirements.

A Smooth Transition to the HSAJET® MCX Compact

In cooperation with INK Service & System AB, HSA Systems’ Swedish distributor, Vreta Kloster Bryggeri decided to upgrade to the HSAJET® MCX Compact 1-pen printer. The decision was an easy one: the MCX is operator-friendly, stores multiple print jobs, and makes cartridge changes simple thanks to automatic ink detection. It is also designed for seamless integration into existing production lines.

The brewery describes the installation as “an installation and start-up that went very smoothly”, noting that the process was “well-prepared by INK Service with no hassle during start-up”. Once up and running, the improvements were immediately clear. The MCX prints very neatly, is highly reliable, and production no longer suffers from unnecessary stops. Operators find the interface intuitive, and cartridge handling is both easier and less wasteful.

Better Prints, Happier Operators

With these improvements, Vreta Kloster Bryggeri has increased productivity, reduced waste, and lowered cartridge costs. Perhaps most importantly, the operators are happier, as their workdays now involve fewer disruptions and less time spent on maintenance.

The brewery sums up their experience simply:
“We would recommend the MCX printer. Mainly because of its user-friendliness and reliability.”

Looking ahead, they are also confident that future needs, such as printing QR codes and data matrix, will be no problem with the MCX. The MCX printers can handle the evolving demands of modern labelling with ease.

For Vreta Kloster Bryggeri, the move from the trusted Micron to the new MCX has been a smooth transition, and one that has already paid off in everyday efficiency. The MCX is proving to be the future of coding and marking.
