Maybe Endkappenvorrichtung or Endkappeneinrichtung


Explanation:
The word Endkappe means simply end cap in English which could be the right meaning for your context. They might put some extra soft material around the ends of the tiles to give the delicate ends more protection. I bought some ceramic tiles once that had corner caps to protect the delicate corners. Just a guess but maybe you could write Endkappenvorrichtung or Endkappeneinrichtung. Wait a while if you can, maybe someone else knows for sure.

Explanation:
Hallo Dominique,

"Capper" (oder capping maschine" bedeutet Kappenverschließmaschiene / Verschließmaschiene / Verschlußmaschiene. Da es sich um Kartons handelt, ist es wahrscheinlich eine Verschließmaschiene.
