Double Sided and Tear Tape Applicator

Double-Sided & Rippa Tape Applicators

The Brunel Engineering Services (BES®) Double-Sided Tape Applicators are a high-performance solution designed to deliver precise, consistent tape application for a wide range of E- Commerce packaging, and print finishing operations.

Engineered for flexibility and reliability, the system can be configured in two formats to suit your production requirements:

  • 300mm Diameter Reel-fed system
  • High-capacity Bobbin Reel-fed system

Versatile Tape Handling

The BES® Tape Applicator is capable of processing a wide variety of tape types, including:

  • Fingerlift tapes
  • Edge-to-edge tapes
  • 4mm Tear (Rippa) tapes

Operating at linear speeds of up to 55  metres per minute, the system ensures high productivity without compromising accuracy.

Standard tape guides are supplied for:

  • 12mm
  • 18mm
  • 24mm

Additional sizes are available on request, allowing full compatibility with your application.


Precision Control & Performance

The machine incorporates a dedicated motor-driven slack control system, ensuring:

  • Accurate start/stop tape positioning
  • Clean tape application
  • Reduced waste and improved consistency

Control is managed via an integrated logic relay, with connectivity to an external pattern controller (3–32V DC) for precise, automated tape placement.


Flexible Supply Options

The BES® Tape Applicator can be supplied as:

  • A complete system, including:
    • Pattern Controller
    • Encoder
    • Photocell
    • Tape Applicator
    • Vacuum Transport Conveyor Table
  • Or as a standalone tape unit, ideal for integration with existing conveyors or carton folder gluer systems, running multiple heads from a single controller.

For dual tape applications, two Tape Applicators can be installed side by side.

  • Side-by-side (minimum spacing approx. 140mm)
  • Or preferably staggered (one downstream) for improved access and maintenance

High-Capacity Bobbin System

For operations requiring extended run times, the bobbin-fed version offers significant advantages:

  • Up to 5,000 metres of tape capacity
  • Reduced downtime for reel changes
  • Increased production efficiency

Integration & Compatibility

For optimal performance, the system is typically installed with a transport conveyor, ideally a vacuum type for secure hold down product handling.

BES® offers a full range of vacuum conveyors, designed to integrate seamlessly with the tape applicator for a complete, high-performance solution.

The system is also compatible with certain alternative tape types (e.g. specialist or “magic” tapes), which can be tested upon request to ensure suitability.
