New 3M AccuGlideTM Taping Head NPH Fits Most Case Sealing Systems

Monday 29. October 2012 - Narrow Profile Head Easily Converts Systems for Use with Scotch Box Sealing Tapes

3M introduces the 3M AccuGlide Taping Head NPH. The narrow profile taping head is designed to fit any case sealing system quickly and easily for superior tape performance. The introduction means packaging professionals are not limited by the case sealing system they own, enabling them to streamline operations, maximize productivity and improve quality.
“We hear from many customers that they wish they could switch their tapes and case sealing systems in their operations, but they can’t afford to completely change them out,” said Gary Robbins, U.S. equipment marketing manager, 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division. “The ability to quickly and cost-effectively solve many packaging problems by simply changing the taping heads on their existing equipment accommodates this need.”
Scotch Box Sealing Tapes and 3M AccuGlide Taping Heads are known by packaging professionals around the globe for their world-class performance in delivering reliability, productivity and quality. The new AccuGlide taping head NPH enables any case sealing system to match this performance with throughput speeds of up to 100 feet per minute even with lighter corrugated materials.
According to Robbins, the biggest reasons for packaging professionals to make the switch may be their desire to use Scotch box sealing tapes or the poor performance of the case sealing equipment they have available. Scotch tape offers excellent “wet-out” adhesion to corrugated surfaces and provides a superior tape available for nearly any box sealing challenge. “Knowing that packaging professionals can increase the efficiency of their operations and avoid expensive equipment costs creates an appealing proposition,” said Robbins.
The new AccuGlide NPH heads are available at no charge because the heads will be supplied with any qualifying 3M System Tape Agreement. Customers can also take advantage of 3M’s guaranteed trial order offer, which allows them to evaluate the new system at no obligation.
The new narrow profile upper mount taping heads from 3M are now available.
