Electric Gummed Tape Dispenser with Automatic Tape Advance

The Better Pack 555eFA is an electric water-activated tape dispenser for busy dispatch benches. Better Packages lists it at 220V with a keypad calibrated in inches and an Automatic Tape Advance that feeds the next length as soon as the last strip is taken.

Better Packages states that it has built water-activated tape dispensers since 1917, and it is a wholly owned subsidiary of IPG. Its published figures for the 555eFA cover tape from 1.5 to 3 inches wide on rolls up to 1,000 feet long and 10 inches across, preset lengths from 6 to 45 inches, and output of 45 inches per second. Better Packages describes the model for operations sealing more than 100 cartons a day.

Better Packages states that the microprocessor control system can be interfaced with PCs, printers, shipping systems and foot pedals. Better Packages lists a thermal cutoff against motor overheating, a safety interlock that disables the blade when the front cover is open, and steel side frames. Better Packages states the unit is UL listed, CE and CSA certified and RoHS compliant.

Set up the bench with shipping cartons and honeycomb packing paper, browse the wider mail and packaging range, or see every Better Pack item we stock, including the 21612 measuring device and 21614 foot pedal.
