Hi all,

Can I get some recommendations for gummed tape dispensers, the machines that wet the tape and cut to length.

Ive had a quick google and 'Tegrabond BP333 Manual Gummed Tape Dispenser' pops up a few times.

Anyone have experience of these machines and recommendations of a model type?

Thanks

I use the basic version as used to be sold by Lion, not the fancy version with the built in measure and cut system. I have two of them, as it saves moving them about while full of water. Little flies are attracted to these, so that they can drink the water. A small amount of methalated spirit added to the water, makes the flies a bit dozzy and then I spin the sponge roller around and the flies drop to the bottom of the water container later when I add new water I drain the container first and the death flies are gone! These pesky little flies are everywhere at a certain time of the year. Mark Lacey

I've got one of those. Only had it about a month, and wish I had bought one years ago. I didn't pay that much for it though. Found one on ebay, brand new, but opened box, paid £300 inc VAT. Sounds expensive, but saves me a couple of minutes on every frame. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to getting the length right - you can set automatic stop to the number of cm you want, or you can keep pulling to get as much as you want, when you let go of the handle it cuts the tape.

PROS:
Quick, wets the tape very well, doesn't need filling up very often, and once you've mastered the handle, you will get just the right amount of tape. If you are doing multiple frames the same size, you can easily set the dial to get exactly the right amount of tape out every time. I also use this for wrapping parcels to send out. It's built like a tank, I expect it will outlast me.

CONS:
It is quite big, and heavy - so make sure you have room for it, probably not suitable if you need to keep moving it around. It's a significant investment, but if you are doing enough frames it will save you time. It takes a couple of minutes to change the size of tape in the machine if you are swapping from thick to thin.

Hope that helps, oh, and by the way my old Lion type one is now redundant, and available for £35 + postage if anyone wants one. Jeremy (Jim) Anderson

Automatic Tape Dispenser | Material Handling and Logistics

This rugged tape dispensing machine offers straightforward operation and one-touch dispensing of reinforced and non-reinforced water-activated tape, significantly improving efficiency and speed of packaging technicians in medium- to high-volume packaging environments.

Full release:

The new Better Pack 500 automatic water-activated tape dispenser from Better Packages, Inc. (Shelton, CT), is engineered for durability, ease of use and reliability. With steel side-frame construction covered in durable ABS plastic, it is a tabletop workhorse that stands up to rough handling and rugged conditions in most work settings, while maintaining the consistent performance expected from the Better Pack brand. Its smooth-touch tactile keypad is preprogrammed with 14 preset lengths from 6 to 45 inches. A simple press of the 2X key doubles any preset length, and custom lengths up to 120 inches can be dispensed by pressing and holding the random length key. When fast tape output is important, the Better Pack 500 dispenses tape at 45 inches per second, greatly reducing the amount of time needed to process and seal cartons in medium- to high-volume packaging settings.

Design features of the Better Pack 500 tape dispenser maximize the performance of the wateractivated tape used to seal the cartons. For example, a smooth-dispense tape guide and unique urethane feed wheel eliminate damage to the tape caused by metal feed wheels commonly found in other dispensers. The unit's adjustable top heater warms the water that activates the tape's adhesive, thereby optimizing the tape's integrity and bonding properties. The top heater, which is a standard feature of the Better Pack 500, is especially useful in work environments where cold temperatures can adversely affect the performance of any tape. When reinforced water-activated tape, such as BetterSeal Secure(r) Tape from Better Packages, is applied with the Better Pack 500, the end result is a seal that is consistently secure, tamper-evident and professional looking.

Optional accessories further improve both the machine's and tape's functionality and enable the packaging technician to work most efficiently. The optional tape aerial accessory holds tape in an upright position when dispensed, allowing easy access to the tape and freeing up bench top workspace. The CodeTaper(r) 6 imprinting device allows printing directly on the tape as it is dispensed for added security, tracking or branding with printed codes, date stamps and logos.

The Better Pack 500 tape dispenser is built for optimal operator and electrical safety and meets or exceeds UL, CE and CSA standards. Standard safety features include a safety interlock switch, which disables the cutting mechanism when the cover is open. In addition, a thermal cutoff switch and low voltage requirements protect the motor from overheating.
The Better Pack 500 is available in 115v and 230v models. To learn more, contact Better Packages at 800-237- or visit www.BetterPackages.com to locate the Authorized Better Packages Distributor near you.
