A fully automatic taping machine for gummed paper designed for taping cardboard boxes of different sizes. The machine receives the filled boxes coming from one or more lines via idler or powered roller beds. The spaced insertion of the boxes, the machine’s regulation to the size of the box inserted, the closing of the upper flaps and the sticking on of the gummed paper above and below are fully automatic, so an operator does not need to be present.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
• Automatic adjustment for different box sizes;
• Automatic folding of upper flaps, box conveying and upper and lower sealing with a motorized introducing and spacing group for boxes;
• Dynamic side-and-back-flap closing device with the possibility of closing boxes with orizontally opened flaps;
• Boxes normally enter from the right (seepicture in colour); entry from the left is available as an option;
• Adjustable humidification;
