Automatic strapping machine

Turning one's back on damage: Fully automatic machines protect both products and the employees' health during the stack strapping of steel strip coils Even if massive steel strip coils can't be hit for six, these heavy weights still have their soft spot. In case that the joints are placed incorrectly during the stacking of the coils, the surface is damaged and the whole coil structure destabilizes. A new, fully automatic machine for the strapping of steel strip coils ensures a precise positioning – with optical measuring and TITANARG® welded joint. The innovative machine is also a gain when it comes to ecomonic efficiency and human engineering for the good of the packing workers. Amongst other sites, the equipment is currently at use at the Dutch facility of the Wuppermann Group. It is in the company's packing department where a magnet crane stacks the previously strapped steel strip coils on top of each other and then onto a lifting and lowerable roller conveyor with a star handle at its centre. At this point the strapping can be applied at almost every position of the pallet. The machine works highly precise in measuring the inner diameter of the stack and placing the TITANARG® welding joint at the perfect position on the winding surface. The flat, coreless joint protects the steel's surface. Plus: The stability of the welding joint allows the reduction of the steel strapping's width.
