Yes. The SHICAI egg coder can print traceability QR codes on the shell, so a retailer or regulator can scan a batch back to the farm, pack date and grade. At 600 DPI the QR stays scannable on the curved surface, supporting food-safety and recall traceability.
A shell QR is especially useful where regulation or buyers demand farm-level provenance.
The SHICAI egg coding machine uses a 5-inch touch screen, prints at 2-12.7 mm height and 600 DPI, and handles a 5×6 tray (30 eggs) per cycle.
Food-grade ink is available in six colors – red, yellow, blue, green, black and white – and dries without breaking shells.
Traceability QR on shell lets a retailer or regulator trace a batch back to the farm, supporting food-safety compliance.
Key points:
- Throughput is about 30 eggs in 11 seconds on an automatic line that also works on chicken, duck and preserved (pidan) eggs.
- It prints dates, farm IDs and traceability QR codes, and connects into sorting and packing lines; the unit carries a 1-year warranty.
- Throughput is about 30 eggs in 11 seconds on an automatic line that also works on chicken, duck and preserved (pidan) eggs.
Egg coding is unforgiving – the mark must be legible yet must not crack the shell – which is why food-grade, quick-dry ink and gentle handling matter.
SHICAI (Shanghai Shicai Inkjet Technology Co., Ltd.) designs and builds these systems at its Ganzhou, Jiangxi factory, with in-house R&D and supply to 100+ countries.
