Strapping machines are essential to ensure safe, tidy and professional packaging: those who work in logistics, industrial and commercial fields know this well.
But to get the most out of these machines, it is equally important to have the right accessories, capable of making the operators' work easier, increasing productivity and ensuring better binding quality.
Why do you need strapping machine accessories?
Accessories for the strapping machines are not a simple complement, but must be considered a true extension of the functionality of these devices. Having the right tools means optimizing each phase of the strapping cycle: from preparing the strap to tensioning it, from safely closing with seals to organizing the work area.
All this then translates into:
- greater operational speed;
- fewer errors;
- a reduction in wasted materials;
- safer working conditions for operators.
Equipping yourself with the right accessories also helps extend the life of your strapping machines, as you avoid unnecessarily stressing the mechanical components of the machine. In addition, well-designed and compatible accessories, such as those offered by Effe3Ti, guarantee continuity and quality in the final result, even in environments with high speeds or with materials that are difficult to handle.
The reel trolleys maintain order and safety on the move
One of the most requested accessories for strapping machines is the strap dispenser. It allows you to better organize your work station, preventing the reels from being damaged, accidentally unwound or left in a mess.
In the Effe3Ti catalogue there are different models based on the type of strapping used:
- H-83 is a trolley for PET reels, suitable for internal diameters of 200 and 280 mm;
- H-83E is a version designed for polypropylene (PP) coils, with internal diameter from 200 to 280 mm;
- while H-84 is a versatile solution for PET or iron coils with an internal diameter of 406 mm.
All trolleys are equipped with wheels, ergonomic handle and tool compartment, so you can always have seals, pliers and strapping tools at hand. In short, it is an essential accessory for those who use manual strapping tools in dynamic contexts.
Sealing pliers
In manual tying, sealing pliers are important to ensure a secure and long-lasting closure of the strap. They are used to crush the metal seal that holds the edges of the strap together after tensioning.
In its catalogue, Effe3Ti offers three models of strapping pliers:
- the pliers H-34 it is suitable for strapping from 12 to 19 mm. It is an excellent solution for those looking for a compromise between compactness, resistance and manageability;
- the pliers H-35 it is more compact – it has a 39 cm long handle – and is therefore easier to handle;
- the pliers H-36 It has offset jaws, is compatible with 12 and 16 mm seals and the strap must have a thickness between 0.4 and 0.7 mm.
Accessories for strapping machines: strapping tools are a must-have
For those who use manual strapping machines, strapping tools are essential accessories, as they allow you to correctly tension the strap around the product or pallet before sealing and can easily be used with one hand. Good tensioning, as we know, is essential to ensure load stability and prevent movement or damage during transport.
Among the most popular models is the H-21 strapping tool: ensures high tensile force and has a resistant structure, ideal for prolonged applications in industrial contexts.
This solution is accompanied by the H-22 strapping tool, designed for 9 and 19 mm wide straps. It is a compact model, weighing 1.15 kg, and easy to handle, which ensures uniform tensioning even on irregular surfaces or light packaging.
For applications requiring superior strength, the tH-23 end-strapping is the ideal choice. Made for 12 and 19 mm PET and PP straps, it guarantees a tension of up to 2,000 kg.
Finally, for heavy or large loads, Effe3Ti offers the H-26 strapping tool, designed for straps up to 25 mm wide.
Accessories: Choosing the right ones makes the difference
The efficiency of a strapping station, therefore, does not only depend on the strapping machine, but also on everything that revolves around it: reel trolleys, sealing pliers, strapping tools. If the accessories are chosen carefully, they allow you to work safely, with less effort and obtaining better results.
With the support of Effe3Ti, it is possible to build a customized workstation, choosing the most suitable strapping machines and equipping them with the right tools for every production need.
