Are Semi-Automatic Strapping Machines Worth Their Cost?

 

Semi-automatic strapping machines are a fast and efficient way to strap small and large packages, bundle items together and seal boxes for shipping, creating a time saving asset to the production line or shipping process. Updates to these machines to utilize electronic tension means they now have fewer moving parts inside, making them more dependable than strapping machines in the past.

These machines have adjustable tension settings and can be used with various widths and thicknesses of polypropylene strap. Packages needing to be strapped are simply placed on the table of the machine, the strap is then passed over the top of the package and back down the opposite side of the package into the channel on the top of the machine, from here the machine will tension, seal and cut the strap. This can be done up to 17 times in 1 minute and no extra tools or seals are required, offering increased productivity and reduced labor.   

These cost-effective machines have a sturdy metal frame and adjustable table height; with quiet operation they can even be used in an office environment. Semi-Automatic strapping machines are quiet and portable, allowing movement throughout facilities, maximizing their potential in office, warehouse, or production areas.

Using a strapping machine over strap tools boosts productivity, time savings are achieved, therefore reducing labor, packaging is completed more efficiently, packages are ready to ship faster, and employees are available to assist in other tasks.

Semi-Automatic Strapping Machine Maintenance: All electric parts are enclosed in the cabinet on the side of the machine for easy access to maintain. Although these robust strapping machines come with a good warranty, we recommend customers take preventative measures to maximize their performance. The top and bottom of the heating plate that seals the strap can get a buildup of melted plastic, we advise customers to check this regularly and suggest removing any residue using a wire brush. If using this machine in a dusty environment occasionally blowing it out with compressed air is a good idea!
