With the call for these improved paper bag bags, manufacturers increasingly opt for automatic paper bag handle pasting machines. These machines efficiently apply handles to large quantities of paper bags, ensuring a reliable and consistent solution for mass production.
This blog will explore the role and features of the automatic paper bag handle pasting machine. Let’s get started.

Overview and Technical Parameters: 

Figure 2: Technical Parameters of paper bag handles

A paper bag handle pasting machine is a piece of equipment specifically designed to paste handles into paper bags, automating the process. This machine can create two types of handles: thick round handles and thin flat ropes. 

The bag width can vary from 230mm to 400mm, while the length can range from 230mm to 450mm. Most of these bags are made from paper with a thickness between 70g/m² and 100g/m².

The machine weighs approximately 1460 kilograms and is typically coupled with a cold glue system for handle bonding. The hot melt system is optional and affects the machine’s price. The unit runs on a three-phase, four-wire power supply with 380V + 220V, 50Hz. If the operations manual is correct, the unit could operate in all countries with their power specifications.

Besides the operating machine, the air compressor’s power is one of the essential values of at least 4HP. The air pressure compressed by the machine has to be within the range of the 0.4MPa – 0.6MPa. 

Additionally, specific requirements are set for the quality of the handles produced: they must have no more than a small level of torsion and a particular degree of rigidity to preserve their shape and stability while in use.

How Does It Work?

Here’s how the handle-pasting machine works. 

• Bag Feeding:

Paper bags are fed into the machine through a conveyor system. The bags are positioned and aligned for handle attachment.

• Handle Application:

Handles, either round rope or flat rope, are automatically fed into the machine from a supply reel. Depending on the configuration, the machine uses adhesive (either cold glue or hot melt glue) to apply the handles to the designated positions on the paper bags.

• Sensor Detection and Alignment:

Advanced sensors, such as thickness detection and precision photoelectric sensors, monitor the process. They ensure accurate handle placement and detect any bag shape or alignment irregularities.

• Glue Application:

The machine applies adhesive to the handle and bag contact areas precisely and consistently. It ensures strong adhesion without excess glue that could impact bag quality.

• Pressing and Fixing:

After the handle application, pressing mechanisms firmly attach the handles to the paper bags. This step ensures a secure bond between the handle and the bag surface.

• Quality Inspection:

Throughout the process, the machine continuously checks for quality control. It identifies and removes defective bags or handles, minimizing waste and ensuring high production standards.

• Remote Monitoring and Control:

The machine may feature remote Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, allowing operators to monitor and control the machine remotely. This feature enables real-time adjustments, troubleshooting, and maintenance without physical presence.

• Finished Bag Output:

Completed paper bags with handles are discharged from the machine. They are ready for further processing, packaging, or distribution.

Exploring the Features 

The automatic paper bag handle pasting machine is designed to streamline and enhance the production of paper bags. It has the following features. 

• Versatile Handle Pasting:

The automatic paper bag handles pasting machine can handle round and flat rope handles, providing flexibility in bag handle design without requiring separate equipment.

• Advanced Sensor Technology:

It includes a thickness detection sensor and precision photoelectric sensor that can identify and rectify issues like improper bag shape, misalignment, or overlaps during production. This capability minimizes waste, reduces downtime, and enhances overall production efficiency.

• Remote IoT Module:

The machine features a remote Internet of Things (IoT) module, enabling remote guidance for machine setup, programming upgrades, and maintenance. This remote capability allows troubleshooting and maintenance without on-site visits, improving machine uptime and responsiveness.

• Simplified Installation and Commissioning:

The machine incorporates a more user-friendly mechanical structure, making installation and commissioning easier for customers. This design allows customers to set up and use the machine efficiently independently.

• Siemens PLC Control System:

This additional advantage ensures that the actual control over the handling and pasting processes is always reliable and accurate. Subsequently, the production efficiency is increased, and we can customize output parameters based on specific requirements. The PLC system is a relatively simple tool that helps machines work and integrate easily with other processes.

All the features of the auto bag handle pasting machine are effective in its usability and functionality in the industrial sector.

Considerations for Buying a Handle Pasting Machine:

Figure 4: Considerations for Buying a Handle Pasting Machine

When choosing an automatic paper bag handle pasting machine, several considerations should be taken into account to ensure it meets specific manufacturing needs:

• Determine whether the machine can efficiently apply the type of handles required for your paper bag designs.
• Check if the machine can accommodate the size range of paper bags you intend to produce, including bag width, length, and paper thickness.
• Consider the type of adhesive system used by the machine.
• Evaluate the machine’s sensor capabilities, such as thickness detection and photoelectric sensors, to ensure accurate handle placement and quality control during production.
• Assess the ease of installation and operator training required for the machine. Determine the machine’s production capacity and speed to ensure it can meet your desired output levels without compromising quality.

Conclusion: 

The fully automatic paper bag handle pasting machine has played a crucial role in improving productivity and consistency in paper bag manufacturing. The machine streamlines production, reduces waste, and ensures consistent quality by automatically attaching handles to the paper bags.
