First select the closing action
Clipping machine selection starts with the desired closing motion per package. Single-wire binding, tape-clip closure, and different layout patterns may not correspond to the same need. The daily pack target is important; However, only the minute capacity in the catalog does not determine the right model.
The material of the existing packaging, the filling amount, mouth structure and how it will be prepared should be clear. If a new line is being installed, also describe the work done before and after the machine. The arrival, placement and removal of the bag are parts of the total flow.
Get to know the three ComiPak models together
| Model | Application focus | Work/settlement | Indicated speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 104TW | single wire binding | Electric; without using compressed air | 40 bags/minute |
| M-408PL | Closure with tape clip | electric | 20–30 cycles/minute |
| GPV40 IND | Packaging with tape clip | Electro-pneumatic; horizontal or vertical placement | 25–30 packs/minute |
These values are model information; It does not guarantee that the same finished package speed will be achieved in your business. Speed units do not use the same expression. You need to evaluate the packaging and working order in a fixed comparison scenario.
When does 104TW come up?
104TWis a compact electric model for single-wire binding applications such as cables and bread bags. Its operation without using compressed air is a feature to be taken into consideration in infrastructure evaluation. However, layout, electricity and consumable requirements should be clarified along with the model’s usage conditions.
Do not assume that the consumption of this model and the tape clip machine are the same. Proceed through the current binding pattern, the wire to be used and the closing point of the package. Consumable selection requires measurement and feeding information as well as the model name.
What details stand out in M-408PL?
M-408PLis evaluated for tape clip applications. Clip size is 40 × 8 mm. The amount of clips used can be monitored on the screen and a warning is received when the consumption runs out. If there is a need for a printer, it should be discussed separately how the INK, DP and HP options will meet the requested marking.
For electricity supply, the option appropriate to the model configuration is taken as basis. In the order, specify not only the model name, but also the infrastructure where it will be installed and the required hardware. Do not treat the different options of the machine as one standard package.
Why is placement important in GPV40 IND?
GPV40 INDis a clipping model that can operate independently and is evaluated with horizontal or vertical placement. How the packaging is brought into the machine and supported throughout the process is important in the selection. Product height and other packaging dimensions should be included in the technical evaluation.
Due to the electro-pneumatic mode of operation, the air infrastructure is also controlled. There is 5 liter/cycle and 7 bar information on the product page. Actual installation requirements and facility infrastructure must be matched with competent technical assessment.
How should you describe the daily production target?
Instead of just writing “this many packages per day”, specify the active working time, package types and product changes. The operator’s time to prepare the bag and present it to the machine differs from the single cycle time of the model. In short series production, adjustments and transitions can become more visible.
In an example evaluation, operator movements can be observed in two different locations while the target package amount is kept the same. This is an example of a work plan; It does not declare any capacity superiority between the two models in advance. The results should be recorded along with the packaging and its conditions.
Pre-bid checklist
- Is the packaging and closing method clear?
- Have the dimensions of the product coming into the machine been written?
- Have electrical and, if necessary, air infrastructure been described?
- Has the single-wire or tape clip consumable family been separated?
- Are the operator and product flow explained with a photo or layout?
- Have additional equipment, such as marking, been specified separately?
- Is the scope of service, installation and delivery clear in the offer?
Model selection with machine and consumable compatibility control complete. For planned consumption roll consumption account can use; all the information request for proposal you can put it together.
