The Challenge

A national food wholesaler needed to improve the production and quality of their manufacturing of their disposable chefs' hats. Before providing this machine, operators would wrap a hat around a coffee can and hand staple the paper to form a chefs' hat.

The Solution

Creative Automation designed and fabricated a dial type special process machine that receives paper blanks, wraps them around a mandrel, applies hot melt adhesive and automatically places tops on the formed hats. The machine produces 40 hats/minute.
