AV-PRO    PA500 PATCH APPLICATOR

The patch applicator unit, developed jointly with Ga-Vehren Engineering of St. Louis, Missouri, offers substantial benefits compared to competitive equipment. Of primary importance is the rotary shear knife that cuts independent of the vacuum cylinder.

The material applicator will feed, optically scan, cut off, and apply silicone release liner, 3-ply piggyback labels, acetate windows, forms bond, plastics, and other materials in registration onto the carrier web. It may also be used to cut off, register, and apply preprinted material onto the carrier web. The unique shear rotary knife eliminates lost time for cutoff blade changes common to pinch cut applicators. Web direction left to right.
