2026 APR Solutions Rap Sil Silocon Tape Applicator

APR RAP SIL Silicone Tape Applicator for Automated PSA and Release Liner Applications. The APR RAP SIL is a specialist automatic tape application system designed for the accurate application of silicone tape in production environments where pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) products are manufactured. Developed to work in conjunction with PSA glue application systems using a slot coater, the RAP SIL provides a precise and reliable solution for applying silicone release liners across a wide range of materials and products.

Ideal for packaging manufacturers, adhesive product converters, display producers, print finishers, industrial manufacturers, and specialist production facilities, the RAP SIL helps automate a critical manufacturing process while improving consistency, productivity, and product quality.

Designed for continuous operation, the RAP SIL combines advanced electropneumatic technology with accurate transport control to ensure exceptional application performance across every production run.

Precision Silicone Tape Application for PSA Production

The RAP SIL has been specifically engineered for applications requiring silicone tape to be accurately positioned over PSA adhesive areas. Working alongside a slot coating system, the machine applies silicone tape automatically and consistently, ensuring reliable protection of pressure-sensitive adhesive surfaces prior to use. This automated process eliminates many of the inconsistencies associated with manual application while improving overall production efficiency. The result is improved product quality, greater repeatability, and reduced manufacturing waste.

Perfectly Linear Tape Application

The RAP SIL utilises an advanced electropneumatic application system that delivers highly accurate and repeatable tape placement. Combined with the integrated product transport system, the machine guarantees perfectly linear silicone tape application regardless of material type or product format. This precision is particularly important for products requiring accurate adhesive protection and consistent release liner positioning. Manufacturers benefit from a more controlled production process and improved finished product performance.

Seamless Integration into Existing Production Lines

The RAP SIL has been designed for easy integration into automated manufacturing environments.

The applicator operates alongside slot coating systems and can be incorporated into existing production lines, helping businesses automate adhesive liner application without the need for extensive workflow changes. Its reliable operation supports continuous production while reducing manual handling and labour requirements.

This makes the RAP SIL an ideal solution for businesses looking to increase productivity while maintaining the highest quality standards.
