Introduction

 

The BEL 180 is capable of applying pressure-sensitive tape to both the top and bottom of various 
size cases presented to the machine at random or without manual adjustment between sizes.  In 
addition, the machine features the ability to use the random function to automatically adjust to a 
uniform case size and lock itself in position for longer runs of a single case size.   

The features of the BEL 180 are: 

 

DEKKA CADET - 2” high performance tape heads 

 

A special sensor system that activates the dynamic case height adjustment while eliminating a 
potential pinch point.  Moving parts are concealed by design and by guarding to a high 
standard of safety 

 

A stainless steel controls enclosure with logic controller and a second conveniently placed 
start/stop switch at the front of the top tapehead holder.  There is a solenoid valve as well as a 
manual valve for compressed air supply. 

 

Roller infeed section for easier case entry 

 

A robust vertical actuator system for moving the top drive and tape head.  It uses air cylinders 
with pneumatic rod locks to secure the random case size adjustments, lock the machine in 
position for uniform case sizes in ‘Lock’ mode and for safety to prevent unexpected 
movement in the case of a sudden electrical or pneumatic power failure. 

 

A tilt-up bottom tapehead holder for easier access to replace the tape roll or remove the 
bottom tapehead from the machine. 

 

Heavy duty stainless steel frame. 

 

Interlocked enclosure guard doors.
