Semi-Automatic Strapping Machine

Semi-auto strapping machines are the easiest, simplest, and lowest cost way of strapping products, as there is no arch to get in the way or to restrict the carton or bundle size, and sealing takes only a few seconds. It is also done at bench height, so the carton can be pushed onto a conveyor if needed.

Compare semi-auto strapping to the manual option, of placing poly strap under and around the carton whilst it is on the floor, then taking up the loose ends and placing it into a hand tensioner, then taking the spare strap and pulling it through the slots in the tensioner, then hand ratcheting until taught, then placing a seal over the two straps, then using a separate crimping tool to crimp the two straps together, then unravelling the tensioner from the straps.

By the time you buy two tools – tensioner and crimper, then the seals, you have the price of our Model SSA-301 Semi-Auto Strapping Machine in Melbourne.

When a carton has been strapped, it not only adds another level of security, and it also offers a better handhold than trying to get two hands under the carton before lifting. Cartons held at arm’s length at the side of the body are more easily moved and better balanced, than holding the load in front of the chest.

Bundles are more easily formed and held after using a strap. Strapping can sometimes eliminate the use of a carton, making the purchase price irrelevant, as it pays for itself in no time.

To start or replace the tape is simple. The 3000 Mtr long strap on a roll is placed easily into the machine, then following the printed guide, it is fed through rollers until it sits under the tape joining slot. At that point you simply dial in the length of feed you need to go over your carton using the feed button. The amount of sealing time can also be dialled in – this might vary if you have different cartons requiring more or less tension.
