What is a wet wipes lid applicator?
A wet wipes lid applicator is an automated equipment that applies plastic lids or resealable labels to wet wipes packaging, maintaining an airtight seal for moisture retention and product freshness.
Why is lid application important in wet wipes packaging?
The lid application allows the pack to be resealed after opening, keeping the wipes from drying out and boosting user convenience, cleanliness, and product shelf life.
What types of lids can be applied using this machine?
Our lid applicator machines can apply a variety of lids, including flip-top plastic lids, resealable stickers, and custom-shaped closures, depending on the pack design and application technique.
Can DROID’s lid applicator integrate with my existing wet wipes production line?
Yes. DROID’s lid applicators are intended to work seamlessly with most wet wipes packaging processes, including flow wrap and crossfold systems.
What is the working speed of DROID’s wet wipes lid applicator?
The typical operating speed is between 20 and 60 packs per minute, depending on the machine model, lid type, and pack size.
Is the machine suitable for different packaging sizes?
Yes. The applicator is compatible with a broad range of packaging sizes and may be changed or adapted to accommodate tiny to large wet wipes packs.
How is the lid positioning and adhesion controlled?
The machine employs servo-driven arms, precision positioning mechanisms, and vacuum suction to assure perfect lid installation and firm adherence.
What types of glue or adhesive does the applicator use?
The machine commonly employs hot-melt adhesive or pressure-sensitive sticker systems, depending on the kind of lid. Optional glue tanks and label feeders can be added.
Is it possible to run both lids and stickers on the same machine?
Yes, certain models have dual-application systems, which allow you to switch between flip-top lids and resealable sticker labels quickly.
How long is the changeover time for different lid sizes or pack formats?
Quick-change tooling and pre-set programming for popular pack formats reduce changeover time to under 20 minutes in most cases.
What maintenance does a lid applicator require?
Vacuum pad cleaning, moving part lubrication, adhesive or label roll checks, and applicator arm calibration are all part of regular maintenance.
Can I use the lid applicator for biodegradable or eco-friendly packaging?
Yes. Depending on the material qualities, DROID’s machines may work with sustainable packaging forms, as well as biodegradable lids or resealable labels.
