Automatic strapping machines are increasingly in demand in very different sectors. These machines, which are available in small and large sizes depending on the needs of the company, contribute enormously to streamlining the workflow. First of all because they ensure better results. Then, secondly, they reduce the time and errors generated by the same work done by hand.
However, automatic strapping machines are much more: the most advanced models can perform even 50 or 60 ties per minute – a result impossible when working the strapping by hand – and therefore represent an indispensable work tool.
Why Automatic Strapping Machines Are So Important
Automatic strapping machines have become an indispensable component in the packaging industry. In the past, but in reality still in many companies, strapping was done manually: a slow, expensive and error-prone process.
Today, automation has transformed this operation, making the process much more efficient. Automatic strapping machines not only reduce packing time, but also improve the safety of the final product, preventing damage during transportation and storage. They are very simple to use and often include an LCD screen to facilitate the management of the work.
Using automatic strapping machines, in other words, the whole process is:
- faster;
- reliable;
- easily integrated into industrial production lines.
How they work
The heart of automatic strapping machines is their ability to adjust and apply the strap without a human operator having to constantly monitor the activity.
These machines are equipped with advanced sensors and software, which are able to detect the position of the products and apply the strap in the exact point. The final flap of the strap is also automatically ejected. In addition, some models are equipped with automatic tensioning systems to adjust the tension force, adapting to different types of material: from fresh foods, such as meat and fish, to cardboard and plastic sheets.
The automatic strapping machines offered by Effe3ti can be programmed to operate on different package formats, thus increasing the flexibility of the production plant. They are designed to minimize the risk of jamming, guarantee continuity in operations and therefore minimize machine downtime. A further value that adds to the usefulness of automatic strapping machines, which makes Effe3Ti machines a safe and reliable work tool.
Large or small: Effe3Ti automatic strapping machines
The strapping machines automatic machines find application in numerous industrial sectors, where the need to package products safely and quickly is fundamental.
Let's take a few practical examples. In the food sector they are used to seal pasta packets, dairy product packages or canned goods, where efficiency and precision are crucial. But also imagining uses with meat or fish, and in general all those situations where there is high humidity, Effe3Ti also offers automatic strapping machines in stainless steel, therefore resistant to rust and corrosion, such as the TP-702YM: it can perform up to 60 ties per minute, is equipped with a control panel with LCD screen and an anti-humidity device and works with four different sizes of polypropylene (PP) strap.
Also worth mentioning is the TP-601D, suitable for small volumes: it is height-adjustable, has a movable pedal and works with 9 and 12 mm polypropylene strapping.
For companies that need to handle strapping materials such as cardboard, paper reams and plastic sheets, the TP-702P is an automatic strapping machine specifically designed. This model, for example, is compatible with four different sizes of PP strap, is equipped with a removable reel holder and a temperature control sensor for the sealing blade.
While in the metalworking sector, robust models such as the TP-601YPT are used for large products and pallets as they can perform up to eleven ties per minute.
The many advantages of automatic strapping machines
Automating strapping brings numerous operational benefits. First, it allows for a significant reduction in labor costs by eliminating the need for personnel specifically dedicated to manual strapping.
Increasing efficiency means that companies can achieve greater productivity in less time; but also achieve better results, with fewer manufacturing defects.
Furthermore, the integration of automatic strapping machines with other machines in the production line enables a continuous flow without interruptions, thus increasing the perceived value of the organization and customer satisfaction.
