Automatic dispensers

An automatic adhesive tape dispenser is a machine that dispenses and cuts adhesive strips to a defined length. Depending on the model, dispensing can be triggered automatically after the tape is removed or be manually controlled. This equipment facilitates repetitive operations in packaging, assembly, preparation, and industrial production.

An automatic dispenser is particularly suited for workstations that regularly use large quantities of adhesive tape. It allows for obtaining strips of consistent length, reduces manual measuring and cutting operations, and makes the tape directly accessible to the operator. A manual dispenser is more suitable for occasional uses or simple needs.

The choice mainly depends on the width of the tape, the outer diameter of the roll, the diameter of the core, and the lengths to be dispensed. It is also important to consider the speed, type of adhesive, triggering mode, memory, power supply, and the possible presence of a liner take-up.

No. Compatibility depends on the dimensions of the spool, but also on the thickness, flexibility, rigidity, and adhesive power of the tape. Some machines are designed for single-sided tapes, while others can dispense double-sided adhesives, foams, protective films, or certain non-adhesive materials. A test may be necessary for technical consumables.

Some automatic dispensers allow for the recording of several tape lengths. The operator can quickly switch from one format to another without fully reprogramming the machine. This function is useful when the same workstation performs different operations requiring precise and regularly repeated lengths.

A mains-powered dispenser is suitable for fixed workstations and continuous use. A battery-powered model offers greater mobility and can be installed on a trolley, a temporary workstation, or in an area far from a power outlet. The choice depends on the organisation of the workstation, the frequency of use, and the necessary autonomy.

To select the appropriate machine, it is advisable to specify the type of tape used, its dimensions, the desired lengths, the dispensing rate, and the constraints of the workstation. DERFI can conduct tests with the relevant consumables and guide the user towards a programmable, secure, battery-powered model, wide format, or equipped with a liner take-up.
