11122026 PROGRIP TX 240 Carry Handle Applicator For Shrink-Wrapped
Multipacks
The PROGRIP TX 240 is a fully automatic high-speed carry handle
applicator designed for applying self-adhesive, plastic carrying
handles to shrink-wrapped beverage multipacks.
Manufactured in 2017, and is configured with three independent
application heads, allowing handles to be applied simultaneously
across multiple product lanes. The machine feeds pre-manufactured
carry-handles from three different reels, separates each handle to the
required length and presses the self-adhesive attachment areas onto
the upper surface of the multipack. It has three individually
motorized handle-application heads mounted above the product conveyor
It is suitable for integration downstream of shrink packers, tray
packers, cartoners or other secondary packaging equipment.
The system automatically creates the required spacing between product
groups, accurately positions the carrying handle and securely applies
it during continuous production. Operation is controlled with Siemens
Simatic S7 series PLC and it has frequency-controlled SEW drives,
Festo/Timmer pneumatic components and recipe-based control
functionality. PROGRIP TX 240 offers reliable operation, rapid product
changeovers and seamless integration into modern beverage packaging
facilities.
