About Ingenieurbüro Ott
Ingenieurbüro Ott, based in Rottenburg am Neckar, develops and distributes the ovobit egg printer for marking eggs. The device uses a drop-on-demand ink system with 300 dpi resolution and achieves an output of over 25,000 eggs per hour, e.g. on Packers such as the Packer 36000. The food-safe egg ink is supplied via HP cartridges with 40 ml capacity, allowing up to 400,000 eggs to be printed per cartridge. The standard version includes a keypad for up to 50 stall numbers or texts, automatic individual egg detection, a height-adjustable print head with interchangeable nozzles and cartridges, a serial interface for data exchange and a counting function per stall. Optionally, a real-time clock with time and date functions is available.
