MFE




DESCRIPTION

MFE
This machine has been designed to group together two or more bottles, bricks, carton box etc., without using shrink film, but two stripes of adhesive tape.

This machine consists of two different working stations:

1.1 Grouping station
The first stage of the process is to produce the pack of bottles required, through the application on both sides of one stripe of adhesive tape. The feeding system consists of two side conveyors which separate the quantity of bottles required for the correct format onto the next working phase. The selected pack is transferred to the grouping unit. Two side groups will apply the adhesive tape with a front and rear overlap varying from 10 to 20 mm. (patented system).

The features of the tape to be used in this station are:

- height : 25 to 160 mm.
- thickness : 30 to 50 micron
- type : bi-oriented polypropylene or polyester
- colour : transparent or printed

1.2 Handle applicator
This group has the function to apply the handle on the pack. The tape is unwound by a motorised roller, electronically controlled according to the feeding of the packs; the carton label is mechanically applied on the tape by a cam, during the passage through a set of rollers; the tape is applied on the rear and front side of the pack by a set of arms pneumatically controlled. The centring of the handle and label on the pack is electronically controlled and the system is able to correct itself automatically, if necessary.

The features of the tape to be used in this station are:
- height : 25 mm.
- thickness : 50 micron
- type : mono-oriented polypropylene
- colour : transparent

It is possible to produce multipacks without handle.

FEL
Machine equipped to group together two containers or packs using two stripes of adhesive tape.

The first stage of the process is to group the containers or the packs into the required configuration, the second stage is to apply the tape on both sides to hold the product.

The feeding system consists of two conveyors with pneumatic brakes which separate the quantity of product required. The selected pack is transferred by means of flight bars to the grouping unit. Two tape applicators, one each side of the machine, apply the adhesive tape with a front and rear overlap varying from 10 to 20 mm. (patented system). A pneumatic cutting system cuts the tape with the possibility of print registration (option).

The features of the tape to be used in this station are:
· Height : 25 to 160 mm.
· thickness : 30 to 50 micron
· type : bioriented polypropilene or polyester
· colour : transparent or printed
