Keypad Length Selection
Choose the tape length needed for the carton using the machine's electronic controls.
Electric water-activated tape dispenser
The Phoenix E1 is an electric gummed tape dispenser designed to feed, moisten and cut measured strips of water-activated tape for sealing corrugated cartons.
With an LED display and keypad-operated length selection, the PE1 is a straightforward choice for packing stations handling different carton sizes. Select the desired tape length and dispense a consistent strip when needed.

Machine features
The E1 automates tape feeding, moistening and cutting, helping operators prepare repeatable strips without manually measuring and tearing tape.
Choose the tape length needed for the carton using the machine's electronic controls.
The PE1's electronic display supports clear tape-length selection during operation.
The manufacturer lists selectable lengths from 6 to 45 inches for different carton sizes.
The original E1 specification describes a three-brush system for wetting the tape's adhesive.
The original E1 design includes a top heater to assist adhesive activation at the moistening area.
The machine cuts each dispensed strip so the operator can apply it to the carton.
How it works
Load a compatible roll of water-activated paper tape, fill the water bottle and set up the moistening system according to the operator guide. Choose the required tape length on the electronic controls, then dispense a moistened strip for carton sealing.
The E1 is suited to workstations where an operator wants electronic length selection without the E2's hands-free photoelectric trigger. For photo-eye activation, see the Phoenix E2. For more advanced programmable functions, explore the Phoenix E4 Elite.
