Commercial Appliances – Tape Solutions for Appliance Markets

Using tapes for commercial appliances can help to improve the productivity of a commercial appliance and the overall product quality.

We offer a variety of tapes for products like ice cold merchandisers, commercial ovens or professional washing machines.

Control panels are mounted onto the appliance with double-sided tape.

Mounting of Control Panels

Larger displays and other design reasons have led to increased requirements when it comes to mounting control panels onto appliances.

Bumper rails are mounted onto the metal housing of an appliance by using adhesive tape.

Mounting of Bumper Rails

Apply plastic or metal trims to a metal housing, without rivets and screws or the curing time and risk of dripping associated with liquid glue systems.

Adhering Coils

Refrigerator and freezer coils are attached as closely and tightly as possible to the polystyrene body to enable the highest rate of temperature transfer.

The evaporator plate will be bonded directly to the back of the PS body

Evaporator Mounting

Bonds the evaporator plate directly to the back of the polystyrene body over the full area (100%) to avoid polystyrene foam migration after injection.

Doors are fixed with strapping tape during transport to avoid damage to door hinges.

Securing Doors for Transport

The tape will take on some of the load so that heavy impacts do not have any effect on the door hinges, thereby avoiding damage.

Small parts will be bonded directly to the PS body

Fixing of Small Parts

Many small parts made of plastic or metal have to be mounted to the PS body. Their handling and positioning becomes easier if they are already equipped with double-sided tape.

Emblems are mounted onto appliances with double-sided tape.

Mounting of Emblems

With double-sided tapes, emblems can be mounted without punching the metal or plastic substrates – ideal when pre-assembled.

Venting tape is used to cover holes during the foaming process to prevent PU foam from squeezing out.

Air Permeability and Venting

Venting tape covers holes to prevent the PU foam from squeezing out during injection while still allowing air flow.

Cloth tape is used to cover gaps and joints during injection to prevent the PU foam from squeezing out.

Gap Covering

Covering all gaps and joints prevents the PU foam from squeezing out during injection. Cloth-based tapes fit the contours of small corners best.

During injection the form is tightly held together by using adhesive tape.

Reinforcement

Holding the form together tightly where two parts (for example, PS body and metal housing) are joined prevents damage to the PU foam during injection.
