DERFI machines allow you to cut your adhesives to the desired length in order to simplify repetitive operations at packaging, conditioning, or production stations. Programmable, they offer great cutting precision and allow for the production of regular strips, tailored to the needs of each application.
Depending on the models, they can offer one or more cutting options, which allows for adaptation to different adhesive formats, work rates, and operator constraints. The user simply programs the desired length, retrieves the piece presented automatically, and then applies it directly to the substrate.
The use of a DERFI moistener also optimises the operator's work, particularly for water-activated gummed tape. It facilitates the activation of the adhesive, improves application consistency, and allows for significant time savings in cutting and applying adhesives.

Program, retrieve, apply: it's that simple.

100% original DERFI machines are all equipped with a secure cutting system designed to limit risks during use. This integrated safety feature allows operators to work more calmly while maintaining fast, precise, and consistent cutting.
By replacing manual cutting with an automated solution, you reduce the use of inappropriate cutting tools and decrease the risk of workplace accidents. Operators thus benefit from equipment that is safer, more ergonomic, and better suited to the demands of industrial environments.
Proposing a DERFI machine also means integrating an effective HSE solution at your workstations. It helps to improve the safety, comfort, and quality of work for your employees on a daily basis.

This machine allows you to achieve superior quality packaging compared to traditional adhesives. By using gummed kraft tape, your packages benefit from a cleaner, stronger, and more professional seal.
Once applied, the gummed tape penetrates the fibres of the cardboard and creates a true sealing effect. Your packages thus become tamper-proof: any attempt to open them leaves a visible mark, which enhances security during transport and limits the risk of disputes.
This solution is particularly suitable for e-commerce shipments, order preparations, sensitive packages, and shipments requiring a neat presentation. It enhances your packaging while reinforcing your customers' trust upon receipt.

Gummed kraft tapes are made of kraft paper and a water-activated plant-based adhesive. They are therefore fully compatible with the recycling processes of the paper-cardboard sector, without requiring specific separation during sorting.
By replacing traditional plastic tapes with recyclable gummed tape, you reduce the environmental impact of your packaging and facilitate their end-of-life processing. This solution is fully aligned with a CSR approach and meets the expectations of companies wishing to offer more responsible packaging.
Gummed tape is also non-perishable and can be stored for several years under good conditions. This helps to limit losses, optimise stock levels, and provides a sustainable, economical, and eco-friendly packaging solution.
