  Automatic arch strapping machines with more moving parts and electronic components, automatic machines require a bit more attention. Checklist: Daily: Clear strap dust and debris from the machine – particularly near the cutters and strap guide. Remove plastic residue. Weekly: Lubricate the front bar, press bar and rear bar. Monthly: Check all belts and gears for wear and tear. Clean both sides of the heater plate. Check cam rollers of seal head for easy movement. Slide table back to home position automatically by the spring tension. Clean any debris in the tension roller. Every 6 Months: Perform a deep clean and test all sensors for accuracy. Check the heater plate and make sure the connector at the wiring loom to the printed circuit board is firmly fixed. Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the sealing head – any dirt buildup can reduce the strength of your strap seals! General Best Practices for All Strapping Machines. Keep It Clean: Dust and strap residue can wreak h...

  At Quick Pak Inc, with nearly 27 years in the industry, we've being selling and repairing every major manufacturer's battery strapping tools. This experience has provided us with deep insights into the strengths and weaknesses of various designs. Battery strapping tools come in various designs, but they generally fall into two main categories: Type A: Single Motor – One Motor Drives Tension and Welding. This category includes three variations: Full Single Motor: A single motor drives tension, welding, and the welding press. Servo/DC Motor Assist (Single Shaft): The main motor drives tension and welding via a single shaft, while a servo motor presses the welding arm. Servo/DC Motor Assist (Twin Shaft): Like the previous design, but with a twin shaft configuration. Type B: Dual Motor – Separate Motors for Tension and Welding This type has two variations: Twin Motor with Servo Assist: One motor drives the tension, while another drives the welding, with servo ...

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 senso...

Securing products to a pallet is a critical step in ensuring safe transportation and storage. Whether you’re shipping delicate electronics or heavy machinery parts, choosing the right method to secure your load is key. The advantages of using an automatic strapping machine to streamline your process. When products are not adequately secured to a pallet, they can shift during transit, leading to product damage, safety hazards and increased labor costs. A well-secured pallet not only protects your products but also improves efficiency in logistics and distribution. Common challenges include: -Load shifting during transportation. -Product damage due to inadequate support. -Increased labor costs with manual strapping solutions. By addressing these challenges head-on, you can reduce downtime, avoid costly damage, and ensure your shipments arrive intact. There are several conventional methods to secure products to a pallet, including: Manual Strapping: Workers apply straps by ...

Keep your heavy product on the pallet with high strength, reliable polyester strapping from Quick Pak Inc. The light weight, high break strength and thermal tolerance of polyester strapping ensures that it maintains sufficient retained tension, even in extreme conditions, and holds your products securely. Available in various widths and thicknesses, it will not stain the pack and is an ideal substitute for steel strapping still used for many applications. Benefits of Polyester Strapping: -Heavy-grade polyester strapping is stronger than light grade steel strapping - but weighs significantly less. -Up to 30% higher impact resistance than light steel. -Polyester strapping retains its initial tension and elongates only 13% - 18% in prolonged storage, ensuring pallet stability and security. -Non-toxic, will not rust. -Extremely versatile with no sharp edges. Polyester vs Polypropylene & Steel: Polyester strap does not stretch under load as much as polypropylene strap...

PAC Strapping Products has joined with Titan GmbH to offer a significant alternative to the “old standard” in automatic pallet strapping systems. The T-200 strap head offers a “clean sheet” design which brings unparalleled flexibility in arch size, available optional components, electrical requirements, and ease of maintenance. Titan has been designing and building automated strapping systems for over thirty years. The product ranges from steel strapping heads producing welded seals to PET/PPY strapping heads producing both heat and friction seals. Our combined capabilities offer previously unmatched flexibility in design and solutions to our customer’s packaging requirements.
