Description

Provides easy and accurate case sealing

3M™ Accuglide™ 3 taping heads feature a curvilinear design that applies tape securely with low impact to help protect even lightweight cartons and contents. Designed to apply a c clip of scotch box sealing tape the 3M™ Accuglide™ 3 taping heads seal center seams at speeds of up to 40 cases per minute.

3M™ Accuglide™ 3 taping process

A regular slotted container is placed on the conveyor and pushed onto the drive belts of a 3M-MATIC™ case sealer which convey the box into the 3M™ Accuglide™ 3 taping head. The 3M™ Accuglide™ 3 taping head applies Scotch® pressure sensitive film box sealing tape at the leading end of the box continuing along the center seam to the trailing end. This is called a "c" clip application.

The taping head cuts the tape as it is being applied. After the box is securely sealed it exits the case sealer. Taping heads usually function in pairs to tape two seams of a case.

When they tape the top and bottom taping heads are mounted in an upper and lower configuration. Taping heads can also be mounted for sealing a case lying on its side.
