Automatic Taping Machine ASTRA_00

The ASTRA_00 automatic taping machine is an automatic in-line machine for American-style boxes that effectively closes the top flaps and applies the top and bottom or only the top tape to the boxes that have been filled and will subsequently be palletized.

This machine is designed to be integrated into an automatic packaging line for batch production, but can also be positioned autonomously to prepare the quantity of boxes required for the boxing process.

Thanks to its compact size, the automatic taping machine can be installed in tight spaces and the correct box size can be set manually, without the use of tools, in a very simple and ergonomic way, or automatically thanks to dedicated technology.

The automatic taping machine is able to professionally close thousands of cartons per day, saving time, space, ensuring the efficiency and quality of the secondary packaging process.

DIFFERENTIATORS AND ADVANTAGES

1. Boost productivity

Automated systems reduce the need for labor, resulting in reduced labor costs and the risk of human error, which can lead to costly mistakes.

2. Consistency and quality

Automated packaging systems ensure a high level of consistency and quality. Unlike manual methods, which can vary depending on the operator, automated systems perform operations with precision and uniformity.

3. Reduce operating costs and increase sustainability

Order processing and the ability to handle higher volumes without increasing labor costs, ensuring efficient operations and on-time deliveries.

Additionally, they can optimize the use of packaging materials, reducing waste, optimizing the use of materials by 40% and cutting material costs, thus the environmental impact of excess packaging.

4. Automation saves time and space

Automation replaces repetitive manual work, while operators can focus on other more important tasks. With more automation and less manual handling of boxes, the process is controlled and more standardization is ensured. As a result, efficiency and work safety are guaranteed. Automatic machines offer the highest performance per m2 of surface area in a 24/24 packaging operation. Taping machines can be integrated into packaging lines with the simplest mechanical and software integrations available.

5. Data and analytics

The automatic case sealer is equipped with advanced data collection and KPI analysis features that track key metrics such as boxing speed, material usage, and downtime. By analyzing this data, companies can gain valuable insights into their packaging operations, identify areas for improvement, and make informed decisions to optimize efficiency. Greater visibility into packaging processes also promotes better forecasting and inventory management.

Consumables used by this machine

PP and paper adhesive tape

American-style cardboard boxes – FEFCO 201

The productivity of the automatic taping machine depends on the size of the box, its compactness with the contents, and its weight. It is advisable to perform several tests with sample boxes to verify proper taping.

The boxes must be fed centered, indexed one on the other and with the top flaps open. The box must be of good quality cardboard, suitable for an automatic process.
