Silicone Tape Applicators
Controlled silicone release-paper and tape application for packaging production, with equipment matched to your adhesive process and machine layout.
Protek’s Silicone Tape Applicators
Protek’s silicone tape applicator range includes servo-controlled release-paper equipment and retrofit tape application heads. These systems support packaging processes that require controlled tape placement or a removable liner over an adhesive strip. The appropriate applicator depends on the tape material, adhesive arrangement and production requirements.
Release-Paper Application for Packaging Closures
Silicone-coated release paper provides a removable covering for an adhesive strip. In a suitable packaging design, the liner protects the adhesive until it is peeled away to close the pack.
The applicator controls the feeding and placement of the release material alongside the adhesive application process. Matching the liner position and length to the glue strip helps create a usable peel-and-seal feature.
Servo-Controlled and Retrofit Application Options
The KQ Servo Silicone Tape Applicator is designed to work alongside compatible hot melt application equipment, using servo control to guide the release material during production.
The Retrofit Tape Applicator Head offers a separate option for compatible tape applications, including double-sided, transparent and silicone release materials.
Equipment selection should account for tape width, reel dimensions, application length, machine speed and available mounting space. Protek can help assess the applicator and adhesive equipment together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is silicone release paper used for in packaging?
Silicone-coated release paper covers an adhesive strip until it is needed. The user removes the liner to expose the adhesive and close the pack. The liner and adhesive must be compatible with the intended packaging design.
Does a silicone tape applicator also apply the adhesive?
This depends on the configuration. A release-paper applicator may work alongside separate hot melt equipment. The adhesive supply, application head and release-paper equipment should be specified together.
Can an applicator be added to an existing production line?
A retrofit installation may be possible where the machine has suitable mounting space, controls and material handling. Protek can review the existing equipment and required application before recommending a configuration.
