Quick Repairs for Arch Strapping Machines.

 

Broken strapping machinery can be costly for your business. Here are some of the most common problems with strapping machines – and how to fix them.

Your strapping machine will not start: If your strapping machinery will not start, there are a couple of things to look at. Check the fuse in the power supply cable, and the fuse in the machine itself. Often, this is located next to the motor run timer. It sounds simple, but it’s always worth double-checking that the machine is turned on – both on the machine and at the wall.

The strap keeps breaking:  If the strap keeps breaking, splitting, or bending, your machine might be applying too much tension. Reducing the tension on your machine will solve this problem.

It makes a loud noise:  If your machine is making an unusual, loud noise, it is a sign something is wrong. Check that your strapping is running in the right direction. If the machine fails to strap, the tensioning sensor might be faulty.

For semi-automatic machines, ensure the strap is threaded through the roller of the brake lever. You should also check if the strap is tapped between the coil and the retaining disc.

Smoke is coming from the machine:  Smoke coming from your machine is an obvious sign of fault. You should check your machine’s ventilation – ensure it is free from debris to allow air to pass through.  If the ventilation system on your machine has failed, you may need to install a replacement part.

The strap cannot be threaded to the tabletop:  The strap chute can become blocked, preventing you from threading the strap through to the tabletop of your machine. With the machine off, inspect the chute to ensure there are no blockages and adjust the quadrant strap width to ensure the strapping is aligned correctly.

Choosing Biodegradable Plastics

Image
Becoming more sustainable is one of the core goals of many businesses as more consumers become environmentally aware, and packaging is a great place to start. However, making the best sustainable packaging choices for your business can be challenging – there are so many options out there.  Plastics are often touted as one of the key pollutants of our seas and oceans – with up to 8 million tons ending up in marine environments each year. However, many businesses still have a need for it, so it makes sense that they may go in search of eco-friendly plastic alternatives. This is where things can become complex. Not all “green” plastics are as environmentally friendly as they seem… Commonly, many companies will interchange the terms biodegradable, bioplastic and compostable when discussing packaging but this can be misleading. Confusion around these terms can then lead to misconceptions about the disposal of so-called biodegradable materials. So, what’s the difference?   Bio-based, B
