What is Adhesive Tape Converting

Adhesive Tape Converting, also known as tape converting, is the process of processing large rolls of raw tape (master rolls) through a series of equipment into specific sizes, shapes, and packaging forms that meet the needs of end-use applications. The processed tape can be used directly in a wide range of industries, including product assembly, electronics manufacturing, packaging and sealing, automotive manufacturing, and waterproofing of buildings, and is a key step in the process of transforming tape from a “material” to a “product”.

The key step in turning tape from a “material” to a “product” is the realization of this process with a complete set of Adhesive Tape Converting equipment, also known as a “Adhesive Tape Converting line”. If you are engaged in tape manufacturing or planning to build a tape production line, choosing efficient, stable, and highly automated Adhesive Tape Converting equipment will be the key to promoting production efficiency and product quality.

The value of adhesive tape converting: from raw material to product progression

Master rolls of adhesive tapes are semi-finished products with large dimensions and uniform thicknesses that cannot be applied directly. Only after processing can the following objectives be achieved:

Size customization: to meet the diverse needs of customers for tape width and length;

Form refinement: adapting to different automated mounting and die-cutting processes;

Appearance standardization: neat packaging, improve brand image;

Industrialization of efficiency: suitable for high-volume, automated production.

The whole process analysis of adhesive tape converting equipment

Our adhesive tape converting equipment covers the entire production process, from raw materials to finished product shipment, building a complete and efficient adhesive tape converting line. Below is a description of the key equipment and its functions:

Tape Coating Machine: the core equipment of the adhesive coating process.

Coating machine is the equipment that evenly coats the adhesive on the substrate (e.g. BOPP, PET, foam, kraft paper), which is the starting point of the whole tape production line.

Functional features:

Support hot melt adhesive, water-based adhesive, solvent adhesive and other adhesive types;

Adjustable coating thickness to adapt to different adhesion requirements;

Configurable multi-stage temperature control system to ensure uniform and stable gel.

Application areas:

Widely used in the production of transparent sealing tape, double-sided tape, striped paper tape, foam tape and other products.

Tape slitting machine: precise control of tape width

Slitting machine is the key equipment to divide the large mother roll tape into several small rolls according to the set width, which is the core link between coating and rewinding.

Functional features:

High-speed slitting with neat edges and no burrs;

It can support automatic roll change and automatic deflection correction;

Suitable for different substrate thicknesses and adhesive properties.

Application areas:

Suitable for all types of adhesive tapes, such as BOPP sealing adhesive, stationery adhesive, industrial adhesive, protective film adhesive tape etc.

Tape Rewinding Machine: Improvement of roll tightness and consistency.

Rewinding machine is used to rewind the slit tape to make the product coil more compact for subsequent cutting and packaging.

Functional features:

Automatic tension control to prevent loose or too tight rolls;

Detects and rejects defective segments;

Enhancement of roll-out aesthetics and stability of use.

Application areas:

Widely used for export tape products with high requirements for appearance and structural consistency.

Tape Cutting Machine: Standardized cutting lengths for small rolls.

The tape cutting machine is responsible for cutting the rewound tape rolls into small rolls of specified lengths, which is an important part of the finished product molding process.

Functional features:

Supports fixed-length cutting, multiple rolls and parallel cutting;

Flat cutting and good batch consistency;

Can be docked with automatic counting system.

Application areas:

Suitable for the production of office tape, DIY decorative tape, medical tape and other small-size tape.

Tape Packaging Machine: Improve shipping efficiency and unify product image.

Packaging machine is used for automatic bagging, sealing, packing, labeling and other operations of the finished tape, which is the last process before shipment.

Functional features:

Automated packaging, significantly reducing labor costs;

Support packaging templates for multi-size tapes;

Can be matched with code scanning system to realize traceability management.

Application areas:

Suitable for e-commerce, retail market, export orders and other orders that require high standardization of appearance.
