You are here: XFA 90 – Cross Feed Application System
The new XFA 90 cross feed application system from Payne now brings all the advantages of easy opening, along with branding and communications opportunities, to new packaging styles. Designed to be integrated into cross feed style over wrap machines, it has been developed to dispense tear tape from Jumbo reels and apply it across the web of the over wrap film whilst maintaining optimum production speeds.
BENEFITS - The XFA 90 addresses many of the problems associated with handling and placing tape across a web on a high speed overwrap machine.
Design benefits include:
- Scissor action tape pick up to overcome tape curl
- Precise tension control for accurate placement
- Compensation for change in reel diameter
- The largest reels of tear tape manufactured by Payne can be accommodated
- Various tape widths can be accommodated
- An internal horseshoe tab is created
- Tape and tab cut are performed in the same operation
- Quick change for different film widths
OPERATION - The XFA 90 is capable of 90 cycles per minute with the tape being applied when the wrapping film stops within its cycle. In the same action the tape is cut and the tab formed, providing precise and accurate placement of the tape.
