SEMI-AUTOMATIC STRAPPING MACHINE

In just a few seconds, the poly tape is fed from the machine, where the operator takes the strap end and passes it over the carton or bundle, then into the slot in the stainless-steel deck top.

When the machine senses the tape is in the slot, it tensions the strap according to how tight you have set the dial. It holds the two faces together whilst if creates a tough seal, then cuts off the excess tape, then pushes the amount you dialled in through the rest of the slot and out the other side, ready for the next carton or bundle to be placed on the deck.

Semi-auto strapping machine is the easiest and 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 crimp 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, 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 is 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 3-kilometre 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, then press the feed button, then dial up the amount of tension you need – this might vary if you have different cartons requiring more or less tension.

This particular machine has been selected by our team because:

1. It is simple to use, and easy to understand.
2. It is manufactured to a high-quality standard, with a fully enclosed cabinet, which prevents limbs from becoming caught up in any moving parts.
3. It only uses one motor whereas most others use two motors. Our machine is easier to service and with fewer potential problems to occur.
4. It has security latches on all opening doors and the top platen. If you open anyone, the machine shuts down, unlike most others that allow a person to put their hands into moving machinery if the door is opened.
5. It has a comprehensive Operators Manual included, along with a tool kit to enable you to make any adjustments you may need, or to remove a part for replacement.
6. Castor wheels are fitted, to enable you to move the strapper to any area – as required, simply and quickly.
