PakTech, a leading producer of secondary packaging handles and automated applicator equipment, recently introduced the TwinKlip Applicator, developed to provide precise, consistent, and automated application of PakTech TwinKlip Handles to a variety of products such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
A single-file conveyor sends loose bottles through the machine, which automatically applies one TwinKlip 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 TwinKlip 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 maximise the value of any investment. The PakTech TwinKlip Applicator not only saves time, reduces labour costs, and increases productivity for any product, it also easily adjusts to accommodate multiple different products on the same machine – without sacrificing speed. Colour-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, minimising machine downtime during product changeover. The TwinKlip Application loading tools double as Klip magazines, extending the runtime between reloads.
“The TwinKlip Applicator is the first commercially available automation equipment capable of applying TwinKlip 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.”
