WHAT ARE THE EYELETTING MACHINES ?

The eyelet machines are used in the food industry where there are widely used for applying eyelets on bags of pasta and sweets and sometimes in paper converting industries, banks or post offices.
There are different types of eyelets. They range from manual models, cheaper, to those pneumatic suitable for intensive and professional uses.
They are available with 1 or 2 eyeletting heads, depending on how many eyelets may apply simultaneously. In the case of simultaneous application of eyelets it is advisable to apply a jig to place the eyelets in the same position and avoid unsightly effects.
