EZ-100HSX Tamper Band Applicator

The Axon EZ-100HSX tamper evident band applicator represents an excellent value for application speeds up to 300 cpm.


EZ-100HSX applicators are single purpose machines designed to apply tamper evident bands to containers. As single-purpose machines, they are simple to operate, value priced, and change parts are economical.

EZ-100HSX applicators are available with single-head and dual-head configurations. Dual-head models offer redundant production capacity, which increases uptime during film reel changes or tamper band changeovers.

Both single and dual head models are fully automatic and are designed with minimal moving parts for high reliability and low maintenance requirements.

As with all Axon applicators, the EZ-100HSX can be easily integrated with existing lines, or Axon can provide a complete system including the applicator, conveyor, and heat shrink tunnel.

What is the EZ-100HSX designed for?

The EZ-100HSX is a high-speed tamper-evident band applicator designed specifically for applying shrink bands to container closures. It is ideal for manufacturers requiring reliable tamper evidence at speeds up to 400 containers per minute.

What production speeds can the EZ-100HSX achieve?

The EZ-100HSX can operate at speeds up to 400 cpm in single-head configuration. Dual-head models are available to increase production capacity and improve uptime during film roll changes.

What types of tamper bands can the EZ-100HSX apply?

The EZ-100HSX applies:

  • Neck bands

  • Closure bands

  • Tamper-evident seals on bottles and containers

  • Bands with perforations for easy opening

It supports PVC, PETG, OPS, and PLA shrink materials.

What closure sizes can the EZ-100HSX accommodate?

The EZ-100HSX supports closure diameters ranging from approximately 20 mm to 43 mm (0.79" to 1.69"), depending on configuration and container geometry.

What industries commonly use the EZ-100HSX?

The EZ-100HSX is widely used in:

It is especially common in applications requiring tamper compliance and retail-ready packaging.

Does the EZ-100HSX require a heat tunnel?

Yes. The EZ-100HSX applies the band, but a heat tunnel (steam, convection, or infrared) is required downstream to shrink the band securely to the container closure.

Axon can supply a complete system including applicator, conveyor, and heat tunnel.

What makes the EZ-100HSX different from full-body shrink sleeve applicators?

The EZ-100HSX is a single-purpose tamper band applicator designed specifically for neck banding.

Unlike full-body sleeve machines, it:

  • Handles smaller layflat film widths

  • Has a smaller footprint

  • Is optimized for high-speed band-only applications

  • Offers a more economical solution when full-body labeling is not required

Can the EZ-100HSX be upgraded?

Yes. The modular design allows single-head machines to be upgraded to dual-head configurations to increase throughput and improve line redundancy.

Is the EZ-100HSX easy to maintain?

Yes. The machine features:

  • Guillotine-style cutting system

  • Minimal moving parts

  • Tool-less changeovers

  • No lubrication required

  • Stainless steel construction

This design reduces downtime and simplifies operator training.

Can the EZ-100HSX integrate into existing production lines?

Yes. The EZ-100HSX is designed for seamless integration into new or existing packaging lines and can operate in left- or right-hand orientation. It can be supplied as a standalone applicator or as part of a complete Axon shrink system.
