Retrofit Tape Head Advantages: All Keqi Tape Applicator Heads for Old & New Folder Gluer Upgrading

Most printing factories hesitate to replace complete folder gluer equipment only to add automatic taping functions, due to huge investment and long production shutdown loss risks. All Keqi series tape applicator heads including TD20, TB180, TT1000, NT35, LZ35, T-Series and DS-1400 jumbo feeder are specially designed for plug-and-play inline retrofitting on both brand-new and aging folder gluer machines, realizing low-cost automation upgrading without large-scale frame reconstruction.

The core shared advantage of all Keqi taping heads is universal standardized mounting jig design, compatible with almost all mainstream domestic and imported folder gluer brands. Installation only requires simple fixed bracket assembly and synchronous speed signal wiring, with total transformation time controlled within one shift to minimize production halt losses. Every tape head adopts independent drive control system, avoiding interference with the original folder gluer mechanical and electrical structure, and can be quickly disassembled and transferred to other production lines when workshop layout adjusts.

Different tape head models target different retrofitting demands: TD/T-series for standard double-sided and easy-tear tape upgrading; TB180 for label printing carton lines; NT35 exclusive for corrugated stitching carton equipment; LZ35 for high-end thin paper gift box production; DS-1400 feeder matches all heads to extend continuous operation time. All units maintain stable taping accuracy ±2–3mm after long-term retrofitted operation, eliminating manual taping defects including offset tape, wrinkling and inconsistent length.

This universal retrofit tape head series is the optimal cost-effective upgrade solution for all packaging manufacturers, from small workshop printing plants to large integrated packaging groups. Factories only need to purchase matching taping heads according to their core packaging processes instead of investing in full new taping machines, drastically lowering automation transformation threshold and shortening investment return cycle. After retrofitting, production line efficiency rises significantly while labor costs and defective rates drop permanently.
