Improving Appliance Manufacturing Through Automation

Better Appliances through smart automation and tape application.

Better Appliances Through Smarter Design

Straub Design Company helps major appliance manufacturers improve their product aesthetics and process efficiency.

The solution? High speed tape application.

We offer robotic-operated or conveyor-based applicator systems
that will improve your appliances:

• Reduce weight and enhance design aesthetics by replacing
traditional mechanical fastening methods with tape.

• Protect the quality of your product during transportation and
installation with protective films and temporary reinforcements.

• Improve temperature management in heating and cooling products.

Key Taping Solutions and Applications:

Bonding and Assembly

High-strength acrylic foam tapes bond decorative trims, glass, and LCD panels to refrigerators, stoves, and washing machines.

Structural Assembly & Sealing

Double-sided tapes are used to fasten condenser tubes and mount evaporator plates, offering a complete seal to prevent insulating foam from interfering with cooling systems.

Surface Protection and Masking

Masking tapes are used during powder coating and finishing operations to protect surfaces.

Transportation/Holding Tape

High tensile strength tapes are used to secure shelves, drawers, and doors during shipping without leaving adhesive residue.

Component Mounting

Thin double-sided tapes are used to mount control panels, logos, and emblems, allowing for a sleeker, low-profile, and lighter-weight design.

Our equipment fits seamlessly into your assembly line to apply high-strength tape with precision and efficiency. You can avoid the hassle of set time and clamping, often eliminating expensive alignment fixturing and tooling costs completely.

Our lasting relationships with major tape manufactures prepare us to provide optimal tape application solutions to future customers in the Appliance industry.
