PAC Strapping Machine Maintenance

Regular maintenance on your PAC strapping machines. To keep your strapping machine running efficiently, it is important to understand the maintenance requirements for semi-automatic versus fully automatic units. With semi-automatic strapping systems, an operator manually feeds the strapping material through the machine and activates the strapping cycle. Fully automatic systems automatically feed and strap packages with minimal operator involvement.

For semi-automatic units, inspecting and replacing worn or damaged strapping heads and sealing elements is key. The strapping heads guide the strapping around the package, while the sealing elements heat-seal the strapping. Check that strapping dispensers are feeding properly and replace them when necessary. Lubricate moving parts like feed wheels, tensioners and sealers regularly following the manufacturer's recommendations.

With fully automatic machines, focus on the additional feed and conveying mechanisms. Check that photo sensors are clean and properly aligned to detect packages. Inspect and clear any jams or blockages in the infeed and outfeed conveyors. Lubricate conveyor chains and belts and replace damaged or worn ones.

For both systems, perform routine inspections of the strapping material itself. Look for signs of wear, fraying or damage and replace strapping if needed. Tension and seal checks should also be part of your routine maintenance to ensure secure unit operation. Following a consistent maintenance schedule will help minimize downtime and keep your strapping machine running efficiently for years to come.

For the best performance and longest lifespan, have a professional service technician inspect your strapping machine at least twice per year. Technicians have the proper tools, training, and parts to thoroughly inspect all components, make necessary repairs or adjustments, and get your machine running like new. Professional service helps prevent unexpected downtime and ensures maximum productivity.

With consistent maintenance, your PAC strapping machine will operate efficiently for years to come. Be sure to keep detailed records of all maintenance for the best performance and in case of any warranty claims.
