The AutoBandit Tamper Evident Band Applicator
- Reduced Labor Cost – eliminates the need to hand apply preformed bands
- Reduced Material Cost – one roll of film can replace a variety of preform band sizes and also lower costs to inventory and store multiple preform sizes
- Eliminates Custom Tooling – for unique or custom-sized preform bands
The AutoBandit automatic tamper-evident band applicator from American Film & Machinery is designed to apply tamper bands to round, rectangle, oval, or unique containers up to 9.85” in diameter.
The AutoBandit is a fully functioned applicator and shrink tunnel that applies the band and shrinks it in one pass. The applicator and tunnel are combined in one machine with a small footprint to easily fit in most production environments.
AutoBandit replaces hand applied preforms with the automatic application of tamper-evident bands. The system features three zones: sealing, preheat, and shrink.
First, the shrink band wraps around the leading edge of the product, is then sealed, cut, and preheated to hold the band in place prior to a final shrink inside the tunnel.
Popular applications for this machine include dairy, bakery, pre-made food and
deli trays, candy, nuts, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, toys/games, and more.
