  • Publication number: 20260109126
    Abstract: A WAT carton sealing apparatus utilizes a top carton sealing assembly and a bottom carton sealing assembly to improve the speed at which cartons are sealed. The top carton sealing assembly moves vertically with respect to the bottom carton sealing assembly to seal cartons of different heights. The top carton sealing assembly may utilize top and bottom carton feeder assemblies, top and bottom tape applicator assemblies, and top and bottom WAT tape head assemblies. The feeder assemblies at least partially feed a carton through the carton sealing apparatus by engaging the top and bottom of the carton. The WAT tape head assemblies apply the water to the WAT tape and feed the WAT tape during application to the carton, while dual first and second top tape applicator assemblies and dual first and second bottom tape applicator assemblies are used to apply a double application of WAT tape to the carton.
