Tape Applicators
Tear tape unwinding | Altor Verticale
The Altor Verticale is a tape unwinding system through which, together with the Speedy, you can feed and apply tear tape at large quantities. It is great for high work loads. With the automatic tape unroller Altor Verticale it is possible to easily and economically convert the tape load capacity from a maximum of 500 meters provided by the Speedy double sided tape applicator, up to a maximum of 20,000 meters.
Altor Verticale tape unwinder is a new concept machine. Ideal for unwinding spools of double sided tape, silicone tape and tear tape. This device is autonomous and can work on almost all of Macari-Fidia’s machines. It is a perfect solution for everyone looking to considerably reduce the tape roller changing times, with the benefit of higher production, without loss of time due to frequent machine stops to replace the roll of tape, on the Speedy applicator.
Tape unroller Altor Verticale will be shown at Drupa 2024
Fidiagraf, every year, participates in fairs in the world of print finishing. On those occasions, we show customers the operation of our automatic machines. We will participate in Drupa 2024, in Düsseldorf, Germany. On that occasion, we will exhibit our Speedy, as a double-sided adhesive tape applicator and tear tape applicator. We will also show our Mistral, the silicone tape applicator. Furthermore, we will show our automatic tape unwinder Altor Verticale, all its technical details, as well as how it works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes the Altor Verticale tear tape unwinder?
The Altor Verticale tear tape unwinder is made by Macari-Fidia (Macari S.r.l.), based in Ciriè near Turin, Italy. The company was founded in 1990 and supplies customers in over 30 countries.
What does the tear tape version of Altor Verticale do?
It unwinds large spools of tear tape and feeds them to the tape applicator, so that tear tape can be applied in large quantities. It raises the tape capacity from the 500 m of Speedy’s own reel to up to 20,000 m.
What tear tape widths and spool sizes can it take?
The unwinder takes tape from 4 to 25 mm wide, with a spool capacity of up to 20,000 m. These are the same figures as the double-sided tape version, the Altor Verticale.
Which applicator does the tear tape unwinder feed?
It feeds the Speedy line of applicators, and for tear tape that is the Speedy TT. On the Ortigia e-commerce packaging machine, the Altor Verticale serves as the tear tape unwinding system.
Why unwind tear tape from a large spool?
With high workloads a small reel has to be replaced often, and every change stops the machine. A 20,000 m spool cuts the time lost to those changes. For a job that uses tear tape, see returnable e-commerce envelopes.
Is there a different unwinder for double-sided or silicone tape?
The same Altor Verticale unwinds spools of double-sided, silicone and tear tape, and the silicone tape unwinder has its own page because it accepts tape up to 40 mm wide. Choose the page that matches the tape you run.
Can this unwinder be fitted to my existing machine?
Often yes. The unit is autonomous and works on almost all Macari-Fidia machines. For other makes, Macari-Fidia checks the space, the product transport, the controls and the tape position before it recommends a layout.
How much does a tear tape unwinder cost?
There is no published price: Macari-Fidia configures each unwinder to the customer’s machine and quotes per project. For a quotation, write to [email protected] or use the contact form with the tear tape width, the applicator and machine you use, your usual run length and the space around the machine.
What service does Macari-Fidia offer for the tear tape unwinder?
Macari-Fidia’s after-sales service is available on request, from consulting and implementation to installation, start-up and staff training, all done on site by its own technicians and fitters. See the Aftersales & Spare Parts page for the maintenance and servicing agreements.
