Packaging Reels > 15” LOKREEL® Ultra Component Packaging Reels

Ideal for taking up more component devices in a single reel, the Advantek 15” LOKREEL® Ultra is injection-molded using specially formulated high impact polystyrene (HIPS) material and finished with an application of an anti-static agent for ESD protection. An assembled reel is comprised of two inter-locking fl anges suitable for winding and transporting carrier tapes packaged with components. Each LOKREEL® Ultra flange is built with the same durable structure as our premium 13” LOKREEL® PRO.

• Shipped in halves to decrease shipping costs by up to 70%
• “Nest-stacked,” high-density packing reduces needed storage space by as much as 60% when compared with a single molded assembled reel
• Halves configuration offers flexibility in managing the different reel widths needed during production—from 8mm to 56mm
• Reels assemble with simple twisting motion, requiring no gluing or fasteners
  (Note: this reel is not designed to be unsnapped)
