Strapping Equipment Common Pain Point “Debris Buildup”

 Here’s images of a PAC SM65 strapping machine that has had no cleaning in months and has started having strap sealing and feeding issues.

Using compressed air to blow out strap dust every day or every other day will address one of the most common pain points in strapping equipment: debris buildup.

The PAC SM65 strapping machine requires minimal, mostly tool-free maintenance, centered on regular cleaning of the strapping head, tracks, and rollers using compressed air to prevent debris buildup. Daily care involves blowing out the cutter and track areas, while weekly or monthly checks focus on lubrication, specifically using non-resinous oil, and inspecting wear parts like tensioners.

Key Maintenance Procedures:

Cleaning: Use compressed air to clean the strapping head and guide tracks daily. The hinged top allows for quick, tool-free access for thorough cleaning.

Lubrication: Keep strap guides and drive rollers free from grease. Use non-resinous, SAE 30 lubricant on necessary components.

Inspection: Regularly check for debris around the cutter and guide areas to avoid jams.

Components: Replace wear parts such as tensioners, cutters, and heaters as needed.

Always turn the main power switch to "O" (OFF) and allow the heater to cool for at least 5 minutes before servicing.
