Signode 5FAM Case taper

• Sealing corrugated cardboard boxes in food production lines.
• Automating the packaging process for various food products.
• Securing cases for shipment and storage within distribution centres.
• Handling a range of box sizes in a continuous production environment.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, typically 15-30 cases per minute, depending on case size and operator efficiency.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply is standard, often 400V.

Tape width

Typically accommodates standard packaging tape widths, often 50mm or 75mm.

Case size range

Units of this type commonly handle a broad range of case dimensions; buyers should verify the specific maximum and minimum for this unit.

Footprint

A typical case taper requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 1m, plus access for loading and maintenance.

Construction material

Generally constructed from mild steel with a powder-coated finish, suitable for dry or ambient food processing environments.

• What type of tape does this machine use?

  This machine is designed to use standard pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) packaging tape, typically polypropylene or PVC, for sealing the top and bottom flaps of cases.

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• Can this machine handle random case sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required for a case taper?

• Does this unit require compressed air?

Used sealing machines are generally valued for their durability and long operational life. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and minimal wear on sealing components. Key considerations include film compatibility, seal quality consistency, and ease of adjustment. Reputable models tend to retain functionality well across multiple applications. Industry sentiment suggests these machines offer strong value when sourced from reliable vendors, though operators should verify calibration settings and test seal integrity before full production use.
