What is the straw applicator?

HOME > News

Usually when we drink milk and juice, we often use straws, which are usually generally pasted on the outer wall of milk cartons or beverage cartons. How are these various straws sticked onto the packaging? This requires the use of a device called the "Straw Applicator". So what is the straw applicator? Today I'll take you to learn about it.
 
The Straw Applicator is an automated machine used to quickly and accurately stick straws onto various packaging such as cartons, plastic bottles, plastic bags, plastic cups, paper cups, etc. It can handle straws of different shapes and sizes, such as straight pipes, bent pipes, U-shaped pipes, telescopic pipes, etc., and can also be used for pasting spoons, forks, and other items. And it can adapt to different packaging sizes and shapes.

What are the uses of the straw applicator?
The straw applicators are widely used in beverage packaging, food packaging and aseptic packaging industries.
1. Beverage packaging: Mainly used for milk, juice, yogurt, beverages and other cartons, paper cup packaging, to ensure that the straw is firmly pasted, convenient for consumers to open and use.
2. Food packaging: It can also be used to paste spoons, forks or other disposable tableware onto the packaging.
3. Aseptic packaging: It is especially suitable for aseptic packaging production line to ensure that the straw will not contaminate the packaging contents during the pasting process.
 
How does the straw applicator work?
The Straw applicator works in a relatively simple way:
1. Conveyor belt conveyor: Starting from the filling machine, the conveyor belt transports the product to the straw sticking machine.
2. Glue application: The glue spraying device of the pipe sticking machine applies glue to the packaging.
3. Paste straw: The application head pastes the straw to the designated position.
4. Complete packaging: The product is then transported to the end of the packaging machine to complete the entire packaging process.
These devices are typically equipped with control systems that can autonomously detect product location and downtime, ensuring efficient production processes.
 
What are the benefits of using a pipe sticking machine?
The pipi sticking machine is an automatic machine, which can improve efficiency, save cost, and has a wide range of application and is easy to operate.
1. Efficiency: The machine can quickly and accurately stick straws to the packaging, and the automated control significantly increases the speed and efficiency of the packaging process.
2. Cost savings: The use of automation equipment can greatly reduce labor input, while minimizing the use of adhesives, reducing raw material waste, and reducing costs without affecting the quality of the final product.
3. Flexibility: Various types of straws (straight, bent, U-shaped, telescopic), spoons and forks can be handled to adapt them to different packaging needs.
4. Easy operation: The equipment is easy to operate and maintain, the personnel only need simple training to operate, and the equipment maintenance is simple.
 
What are the packaging forms of the straw sticking machine?
There will be many models according to the production capacity, but the form of packaging is mainly divided into two categories: standing packaging and lying packaging.
1. Standing: That is, the packaging box or bag can stand on the conveyor belt, and the straw is generally pasted on the side of the box. This is the most common form of packaging, such as aseptic carton packaging, carton beverage, cup beverage and so on.
2. Lying flat: For some bowl-type packaging and non-standing bag packaging, the packaging bag is placed flat on the conveyor belt, and the pipe pasting machine pastes the straw on the packaging bag above the packaging bag, such as bowl yogurt, bag milk, etc.

The straw applicator produced by Union Machinery Company can adjust the position of the glue spraying device according to customer needs, achieving standing and flat sticking. Fast speed and high efficiency.
