Description

The TDA080 automatically dispenses and cuts most types of tape, including duct tape, to a programmed length. It is built for continuous industrial use on production lines with repetitive taping. Lengths are set on a digital push-switch display, and the machine has four operating modes: manual feed and cut, manual feed with automatic cut, automatic feed and cut, and interval feed and cut.

Besides the standard model, START builds the TDA080 with a two-tape laminator (TDA080-LAM), with a liner remover for tapes such as aluminum tapes (TDA080-LR), with a 5-length memory (TDA080-M), with non-marking rollers for protective films and foil tapes (TDA080-NM) and with non-stick rollers for high-tack, VHB and foam tapes (TDA080-NS; fluor-coated: TDA080-NS-LF).

The TDA080 is part of The Tape Dispenser brand by START International.

The warranty terms are listed on each product page, for example a 2-year limited warranty on AmeriVacS sealers, a 10-year warranty on the Ripack 3000 heat gun and 1 year parts and labor on most Omcan machines. For Turbovac tabletop vacuum sealers from Omcan: Manufacturer warranty provided by Omcan. Exact coverage is confirmed in writing with your quote.

For a warranty claim, contact us with your order number and the machine's serial number, and we coordinate the claim with the manufacturer.

Can I return a machine?

Machines are generally non-returnable, and the return rules of each manufacturer apply. Standard (non-custom) AmeriVacS machines include a 1-week evaluation trial. The trial must be requested within 7 calendar days after delivery, and the machine must be returned "as new" in appropriate packaging. A refund is issued only after the manufacturer has received and accepted the return, less all shipping and handling costs in both directions. Every return requires our written Return Authorization. Ripack products are non-returnable once delivered. AIE machines are non-returnable unless AIE approves the return in writing. Omcan products are non-returnable unless Omcan approves the return in writing; Omcan then charges a restocking charge of 35% or more.
