HST KK-10 (Glueing Station)

And the task is: Avoid plastic!

The gluing station KK-10 glues overlapping surfaces with cold glue onto the lid and base of the packaging.

To avoid plastic packaging, gluing offers the possibility of achieving a tamper-evident seal, which at the same time keeps the box sealed. This closure is also a prerequisite for MOSH/MOAH-safe packaging.

Function

The boxes are guided past 2 nozzles, which apply the glue bead laterally onto the surfaces. Afterwards, the boxes are pushed into a funnel, where they are stacked one after the other in a chamber, pushed forward at the lower end, and then pushed upwards again. During this storage process, the glue dries.

To support the setting process, the side walls of the chamber are slightly pressed when the packing process is at a standstill. Conversely, the slight opening of the side walls during movement leads to easier, gentle, and low-friction transport of the boxes.

Finally, the packages are pushed out forward in the same longitudinal direction as they were previously inserted.

The speed can be up to 10 boxes/minute, depending on the setting time of the glue.

Box format

The device can be used for boxes in the length range of approximately 75 mm to 160 mm, i.e., in the standard dimensions of cartoning devices for tea bag machines, especially for belt-folding boxes. It can be supplied for boxes with naked tea bags or enveloped tea bags, and optionally for other applications where this type of tamper-evident seal is desired.

We are constantly developing our machines. All images show realized machines on which technical improvements may have been made. Appearance and details are therefore subject to change.
