Settle and Compact Material in Bags and Containers

MARTIN® TAP & PAC™ Compacting Vibrators

MARTIN<SUP>®</SUP> TAP & PAC™ Compacting VibratorsThe TAP & PAC® Compacting Vibrator is designed to pack and settle bulk material in containers or packaging. Speed and amplitude are independently adjustable, providing the force required to ensure precise container volume or weight. 

The TAP & PAC® is ideal for:

  • Packaging and palletizing operations
  • Bag densification

Key Benefits

  • Rapid compaction for maximum filling efficiency
  • Helps eliminate voids, air gaps, and settling issues
  • Reduces shipping costs
  • Operates reliably with minimal air use

Features

  • Piston retracts after each cycle, eliminating container interference
  • Independent amplitude and frequency adjustment for precise control

Product Specs

  • Air pressure range: 20 - 60 psi
  • Operating temperature: 32° - 120° F (low and high temp models available)
  • Force (maximum): 42 force-lbs
  • Noise level: Less than 80 dBA

Case Studies

  • Settling Product For Shipping At A Jellybean Manufacturer
    Problem

    A Jellybean manufacturer in Minnesota hoped to increase productivity by replacing antiquated vibration equipment with new equipment for shaking the product to provide the proper settling of contents before shipping.

    Situation

    Old and outdated packaging assemblies were reconstructed to both streamline their candy packaging processes and to conserve energy with their new “go green” business objective.

    Solution

    MARTIN® TAP & PAC™ Compacting Vibrators gave this confectioner the ability to independently control their speed and amplitude and provided the energy efficiency they were hoping to achieve. The wash-down safe construction coupled with lubrication free operation of these compacting vibrators have revolutionized their packing processes.
