HANDLE APPLICATORS

The line of Viper handle applicators are comprise two models: a single and double infeed. The Viper handle applicator combines together elements from models with mechanical actioning and characteristics of electronic models to offer high performance and a high degree of flexibility, at the same time maintaining high functioning reliability. This machine associates the mechanical handle application group with an electronic metering system in this way avoiding the use of spacing screws and relative inefficiencies due to ware, friction on the packs and complications due to format change over.

APPLICATIONS

The Viper handle applicators find their application in the beverage sector where the application of a handle on a pack helps the transport of the pack. This type of machine may be inserted after the Fenix shrink wrapper or after the innovative Easypack multipacker. In both cases the machine carries out the same function.

ADVANTAGES

Thanks to its simple and clean structure, the Viper handle applicators have a high performance level and can reach 100 packs per minute. The handle application group is made up of a mechanic arm mounted on a cam which ends with a special plier application. This system allows handles to be applied carrying out continuous cycle movement whilst the pack moves forward on the motorised belt underneath. The entire application group is actioned by one single motor. The high level of performance carried out by the Acmi handle applicator is due to the use of an single application arm, along with the electronic metering system which requires a minimum distance of only 10 cm between one pack and another. In the double in feed version the two heads that hold the application pliers may be both vertically or horizontally regulated by means of an appropriate fly wheel. It is also possible to exclude one of the two handle application heads leaving one to "rest" and use the other as if it was a single in feed machine.
