The most technologically advanced high productivity table top twist tie machine in the world is the Tach-It Model #3568. This state-of-the-art machine does not utilize a reciprocating arm which eliminates jams. The unique straight line ribbon feed avoids the ribbon jam ups that are common with other twist tie machines on the market today. The Model #3568 has ball bearings for smooth 24/7/365 operation, mounting points welded to the bottom stele plate, constructed of all metal components for long and reliable service life, has a 1/2 inch tying capacity, and uses only a 3 inch piece of twist tie ribbon per closure which is a 25% savings in consumables compared to competitive machinery which makes the Model #3568 more economical to use. Capable of tying up to 50 bags per minute, the superior design and compact size has made it perfect for all applications including bakery, food, candy, confectionery, industrial wire harnessing, and assembly.
