Automatic Tape Application Retrofit for Existing Packaging Machines
Many packaging manufacturers already have folder gluers, paper bag machines, printing equipment, or other production lines. When they need to add an automatic tape application process, replacing the entire machine is often unnecessary.
A tape application retrofit system can add automatic adhesive tape application to existing production equipment.
KQ Automation provides customized online tape application retrofit solutions for packaging manufacturers.
What Is an Automatic Tape Application Retrofit?
An automatic tape application retrofit means installing an additional tape applying module directly onto an existing production machine.
Instead of purchasing a completely new production line, the existing equipment can be upgraded with an automatic adhesive application function.
KQ's retrofit solutions can be applied to:
- Folder gluing machines
- Paper bag machines
- Packaging production lines
- Printing equipment
- Other suitable production equipment
Why Do Packaging Manufacturers Need a Retrofit Solution?
Many packaging manufacturers already have stable production equipment but still rely on manual tape application for specific products.
This can create several problems:
- Additional manual labor
- Inconsistent tape positioning
- Lower production efficiency
- Difficult process control
- Limited production capacity
A retrofit solution allows manufacturers to add an automatic tape application process without replacing the entire production machine.
What Types of Tape Can Be Applied?
KQ automatic tape application systems can be designed for different adhesive materials, including:
- Double-sided tape
- Transparent tape
- Easy tear tape
- Special adhesive tape
- Other application-specific tapes
Different tapes require different tape head structures. Therefore, the tape type and product structure need to be considered when designing the application system.
Applications of Automatic Tape Application
KQ's automatic tape application solutions can be used in different packaging industries.
Folding Cartons
Tape can be applied to specific areas of cartons for bonding, reinforcement, or special packaging functions.
Paper Bags
Automatic tape application can be used for different paper bag structures and adhesive requirements.
E-Commerce Packaging
Easy tear tape and other adhesive tapes can be automatically applied to courier and e-commerce packaging.
Special Packaging
Some packaging products require adhesive tape in unusual positions or structures. These applications can be developed as customized retrofit solutions.
Customized Tape Application
KQ's approach starts with the customer's actual application.
Before designing the equipment, the key questions are:
What is the product?
Where does the tape need to be applied?
Why is the tape required?
What problem does the adhesive solve?
The tape application structure is then developed according to the product structure, tape characteristics, application position, and production requirements.
This approach allows KQ to handle applications that cannot be solved effectively with a standard tape applying machine.
Special Packaging Applications
KQ's retrofit technology can also be used for special packaging applications.
For example, some high-end packaging boxes require adhesive tape to cover nails or metal components inside the package.
The purpose is to prevent metal components from scratching the product or causing contamination.
For this type of application, the adhesive module needs to be installed online because manual application after forming may not provide the required positioning.
Benefits of an Online Retrofit
An automatic tape application retrofit can help manufacturers:
- Upgrade existing production equipment
- Reduce manual tape application
- Improve production consistency
- Add new packaging functions
- Avoid replacing the complete production line
- Develop customized adhesive applications
The actual benefits depend on the existing machine, product structure, tape type, and production requirements.
