Tape Applicators
Sellotape dispenser | Single sided tape applicator Asty
Surely, to apply a scotch tape on top of a surface is now an easy operation thanks to our new sellotape dispenser Asty. We recommend using this kind of tape in the packaging industry, an easy way to reinforce paper or cardboard.
Why you need this sellotape dispenser in your company?
The main application of sellotape is on top of envelopes to reinforce the closing flap. Or, also, as support for an easy opening system and on e-commerce box to reinforce the handles (very popular). But, as well, for shopping bags, e-commerce envelopes and much more.
The Asty is extremely easy to fix on a conventional folder-gluer. It can simply be installed on a metal bar above the conveyor belt. The electrical signal to control our tape applicator can be taken from a free channel of an existing gluing system in the folder-gluer machine. If there is no free channel available or you wish to run the Asty independent of your gluing system you can buy the control system, directly from Macari-Fidia Macchine Grafiche.
Other Macari-Fidia’s tape applicators heads are:
- Speedy to apply double sided tape
- Speedy to apply tear tape
- Mistral to apply silicon tape
- Altor Verticale to unwind big spools of tape (surely, very useful for double sided tape, tear tape and silicon tape)
