PNEUMATIC EYELETTING: operation and models available.
Pneumatic eyelets are equipment that allows the application of a printed cardboard (called “bags headers”) on food packages, hazelnuts and flour through the eyelets.
The bag header allows you to write batch, expiry date, nutritional and content information and apply them to the bag without writing directly on the bag.
The graphic of the jumpers normally printed in the typography and, subsequently, the manufacturer adds the latest data (expiry, lot) using a marker.
Compared to mechanical models, pneumatic eyeletting machines are faster and more professional. The eyelets are applied by pushing the compressed air, always with the same pressure.
The result is more uniform and the operation does not require physical effort on the part of the operator.
The choice of the eyeletting machine therefore depends on the quantity of eyelets to be applied (1 or 2).
TYPES OF PNEUMATIC EYELETTING MACHINES AVAILABLE:
ONE PNEUMATICAL HEAD EYELETTING MACHINE:
Eyeletting machine with one pneumatic pedal head with stand for high productions; the eyelets are manually loaded into the side loader (approximately one handful at a time) and by operating the side knob the eyelets are sorted and oriented.
The operator will have to place the bag on the clinching surface and give the impulse by means of a pneumatic pedal which will activate the descent of the head by applying the eyelet. The procedure will be faster and more precise since the operator will not have to act forcefully on the pedal and will have his hands free to hold the bag.
TWO PNEUMATICAL HEADS EYELETTING MACHINES:
Double pneumatic head eyeletting machine with stand for high production; the method of loading the eyelets is automatic and does not change from the previous model.
As in the model with a pneumatic pedal head, the operator must place the bag on the clinching surface and operate the heads with a pedal.
This machine is particularly suitable for large bags where it is necessary to apply two eyelets.
The standard distance of the heads is adjustable from 4 cm to 10 cm, but an increase can be requested which brings the maximum distance to 18 cm.
EYELETS AND OPTIONALS
The standard eyelets are of 3 types:
-7 type in iron or brass with an internal diameter of 3 mm and an external diameter of 7;
-9 type in iron or brass with internal diameter of 3.5 mm and external diameter of 9;
-051 type eyelets in iron, brass or aluminum with internal diameter of 5.5 mm and external diameter of 9.5.
There are options such as the TEMPLATE and the adjustable shelf: the first allows a more precise application of the eyelets, while the second facilitates the operator’s work by allowing him to place the bag and apply the eyelet with more precision.
Each eyeleting machine allows you to apply only one type of eyelets.
On request it is also possible to make eyeleting machines suitable for applying other types of eyelets.
