A machine that automatically applies and secures straps around cartons, boxes or bundles to stabilize, close and prepare them for transport — combining strapping (looping a strap) and binding (tightening/secure finishing) functions in a single unit.
Most models support polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET) straps; some can be configured for steel straps. Common strap widths are 9–19 mm (3/8"–3/4"), but widths and thicknesses are selectable or customizable depending on the model.
Suitable for e‑commerce packaging, logistics and distribution centers, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics, manufacturing and any operation that needs consistent, fast carton sealing, pallet bundling or bundle binding.
Throughput depends on model, strap cycle, box size and line configuration; typical automatic machines process from several to several dozen packages per minute. Inline installations and optimized settings increase effective throughput.
Many machines handle a wide range of carton dimensions via adjustable guides and straps. Standard models fit small to large boxes; heavy‑duty models are available for heavier packages. Exact limits depend on the chosen model and can be specified for your application.
Requirements vary by model. Single‑phase (220–240 V) or three‑phase (380–480 V) power options are common. Some machines also require compressed air (for pneumatic tensioning) — typical air pressure is 5–7 bar. Exact specs are provided on the machine data sheet.
There are fully automatic versions that integrate with conveyors and trigger by sensors, and semi‑automatic versions that require operator feeding. Features like automatic strap feed, cutting, tensioning and ejection minimize operator involvement on fully automatic units.
Yes. These machines are designed for inline integration and typically offer conveyor interfaces, PLC control, electrical and signaling options (e.g., 24 V I/O, Ethernet/IP, Profinet) to communicate with upstream and downstream equipment.
Common safety features include emergency stop buttons, safety guards and covers, interlocks, light curtains or area scanners (optional), and compliant electrical safety to CE/UL standards depending on region and configuration.
Routine maintenance includes cleaning strap paths, lubricating moving parts as specified, checking and replacing wear parts (tensioner, blades, rollers), and inspecting electrical connections. A basic maintenance schedule is monthly with more frequent checks in high‑use environments.
Yes. Manufacturers typically supply spare parts (strapping heads, sensors, motors, cutters), technical documentation, remote support, on‑site service and operator training plans. Availability and response times depend on supplier and service contract.
Yes. Common options include different strap heads, higher‑capacity strap dispensers, automatic strap coil changers, turntables, reject/pushers, carton flippers, label printers, product sensors, and customized tensioning profiles to match your product and packaging needs.
Many machines are designed to meet CE, UL, and other regional safety and electrical standards. Quality and manufacturing certifications (e.g., ISO) depend on the supplier — check the machine datasheet or ask the vendor for certification documents.
Contact the supplier with your application details (box sizes, throughput, strap type, line integration needs). Lead times vary by model, customization and order size but typically range from a few weeks to a couple of months; shorter lead times may be possible for standard models in stock.
