Attaching straws to aerosol cans is an important step in many aerosol packaging operations. Automating this process can help manufacturers streamline production, improve product appearance, and reduce the maintenance associated with traditional tape-cutting systems.
MBC Aerosol’s Tube Taper Machines offer an automated solution for positioning and securing straws to the sides of aerosol cans.
Designed to accommodate aerosol cans of any diameter, the Tube Taper uses pre-cut, perforated tape to attach straws without the need for cutting blades. Unlike systems that cut tape during operation, this approach eliminates blade wear and the need for routine sharpening, helping reduce maintenance and production downtime.
How Does the Tube (straw) Taper Machine Work?
The Tube Taper automates straw feeding, can positioning, and tape application in one coordinated process.
A spacing wheel separates incoming aerosol cans as they travel along the conveyor. The machine automatically feeds and positions a straw against each can, then applies a clear label using the pre-cut tape system to secure it in place.
The clear label provides a clean, finished appearance while the automated process helps streamline straw attachment.
Designed for Easy Production Line Integration
The Tube (Straw) Taper is a self-contained, height-adjustable system designed to integrate inline with an existing aerosol production line conveyor. Its configurable setup accommodates a range of line layouts and installation requirements.
