PakTech recently introduced the Twin Klip Applicator, developed to provide precise, consistent, and automated application of PakTech Twin Klip Handles to a variety of products such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and spray bottles.
A single-file conveyor sends loose bottles through the machine, which automatically applies one Twin Klip Handle per pair of bottles. Designed to process 12 bottles per batch at ten cycles per minute with a 15% overspeed capability for short bursts, the Twin Klip Applicator boosts efficiency and streamlines end-of-line operations.
Whether manufacturing one product or multiple products, vendors considering adding production machines to their inventory are looking to maximize the value of any investment. The PakTech Twin Klip Applicator not only saves time, reduces labor costs, and increases productivity for any product, it also easily adjusts to accommodate multiple different products on the same machine – without sacrificing speed. Color-coded Change Parts are quick and easy to switch out, and each has its own recipe already programmed into the system and selectable on the touchscreen HMI, minimizing machine downtime during product changeover. The Twin Klip Application loading tools double as Klip magazines, extending the runtime between reloads.
“The Twin Klip Applicator is the first commercially available automation equipment capable of applying Twin Klip Applicator handles. It is designed to increase production line efficiency and reduce overall cost of secondary packaging,” said Stephen Snider, Application Engineer at PakTech. “This automated equipment can free up staff for more creative and value-added work, and is small and energy efficient enough to fit in any packaging line.“
