DGT Solutions box sealing systems close cases and cartons using adhesive tape or hot-melt glue. The sealing method and equipment arrangement are selected around the package and surrounding production line.
In a hot-melt configuration, side belts position filled boxes while guides and folding mechanisms close the flaps. Applicators dispense adhesive, and compression rollers press the closure together before discharge. Solutions include dedicated sealing machines and combined forming-and-sealing arrangements for coordinated packaging operations.
Tape and hot-melt configurations provide different sealing methods. The component descriptions below explain the principles, with hot-melt operation identified where relevant.
In the hot-melt example, side belts move filled boxes into the sealing station, where gates position them for flap closure.
In the hot-melt process, press rollers hold the closed top together. The sealed box then transfers downstream.
A compact former can operate independently or connect to a cartoner or case packer.
