Brackett High-Speed Automated 6-Station 19in Circular Padder – 031726962004A

S/N: 2897805

The Brackett high-speed automated circular padder is designed for efficient production of paper pads and multi-pad strips using hot melt adhesive. This system is commonly used in commercial print shops, bindery operations, and paper converting environments to produce writing pads and forms. Its rotating multi-station design allows for continuous loading and output in a compact footprint.

Main Machine

This 6-station circular padder operates by indexing stacks of paper through multiple clamping and gluing positions. Each station automatically jogs, clamps, and applies a controlled layer of hot melt adhesive, producing finished pads as the carousel rotates. The system is driven by a DC motor with variable speed control, allowing operators to adjust throughput based on production requirements.
