Automatic machine to apply self-adhesive handles made of a special transparent tape and carton label on bundles of various products.

The adhesive handle-tape is uncoiled by an electronically-driven roller according to the packs flow. Handle-cardboard (or other materials) lamination to the adhesive tape is performed continuously through a mechanic double-cam device (patented).

The handle thus obtained is pasted continuously on the pack in transit through a series of pneumatic arms. The adhesive tape is cut by a cutting group equipped with a cam-driven blade.

On option, and according to the products to work, the machine can be equipped with an arch-handle device.

The handle and cardboard is electronically centred, allowing the machine to catch up on possible mistakes and performing automatically the re-positioning.

The handle-tape is in transparent mono-oriented polypropylene laminated with cardboard (or other materials) that could be blank, coloured or printed with advertising signs and/or images. 

Each head can be equipped with a second reel-holder for 5000-mt-adhesive tape reels.

All the machine’s models can work on laminated adhesive tape.

OPTIONAL

SEMI AUTOMATIC FORMAT CHANGE
This machine automatically adjusts wrap-around cardboard formation unit based on width, length, and height of the package.
It also automatically adjusts the width and the uprising  of the cardboard itself.
The other adjustments remain manual (cardboard storage, product input guides, etc.).
Advantages: very reduced format change times and with minimum manual intervention by the operator.

AUTOMATIC FORMAT CHANGE
All machine adjustments are carried out automatically in changing from one format to another.
Advantages: very reduced format change times and without manual intervention by the operator.

SECOND ADHESIVE TAPE REEL (HANDLE APPLICATOR) 

HEATED GUIDES (HANDLE APPLICATOR) 
Heated guides are electrically heated elements that prevent the crystallisation of adhesive tape (in the case in which machines are installed in facilities with temperatures equal to or below 15°). The heating elements heat up the tape and melt the glue so that the handle attaches more easily to the pack.
