ELASTIC THREAD TYING MACHINEThe FP ASTRO wire tying machine is suitable for tying both small, particularly delicate products and rigid products of variable size.It can be used to tie electrical cables, branches, vine and hazelnut cuttings, food and technical products.With the simple tying of the elastic thread, the FP ASTRO-C2 secures bundles of flowers or vegetables, bundles and bundles of small industrial products such as pens and flexible tubes, tying of labels on jars (preserves, mustards, jams, pickles), small bundles of labels, adhesive labels and many more. The minimum diameter of a beam is 7 mm.The machine is designed and engineered to be used also in automatic lines, on request vertical or upside down versions can be created.The FP ASTRO-C2 is equipped with a renewed FEED IN mechanism which ensures high speed and accurate binding of the product.This knot tyer is also equipped with a release system (KRS) that controls the release of the knot.In this way the product is tied with minimal tension so as not to be damaged.Minimum wear of the knotter thanks to the KRS system which increases the reliability of the knotter.The base plate is made of aluminium. The noise is very low.Machine certified to EEC standards with use and maintenance manual for easy use.The FP ASTRO tying machine is available in two versions:Light C2 version uses standard pcs 1300 wire (breaking load 65 N) and FOOD wire (breaking load 34 N)Robust 3K version uses robust technical and food-grade wire, with breaking load 110 N.AISI 316 STAINLESS STEEL version uses all types of wire and is suitable for use in wet environment, in the food or fishing industryMODELFP ASTRO-C2Extreme ease of useMechanical drive by inserting the product to be tiedOnce started, all functions take place automaticallyRobust, capable of continuous operationRequires minimal maintenanceLow noise levelAdjustable wire tensionSpeed94 cycles/minute (stainless steel mod. 100 cycles/min )Tie cycle duration0.64 secondsUseful heightmaximum 150 mmWorking depthmaximum 250 mmMachine dimensions780x495x418 mmWorktop height270 mmMachine weightKg. 47Electrical power220V - 50 Hz 1 phaseFor tying products such as wraps, rolls, bouquets you can use the standard model.For tying products where a higher pull is required, the correct model is the one using 3k wire (breaking load 110 N).On request:Marine version in stainless steelVersion with extended arm 350 mm MD 35 and mm. 600 MD 60.MH 30 version for products with height mm. 300PLC version with contacts for online control.Support trolleySpecial elastic thread binding machines are made to order.USABLE THREADThere are 3 wire versions available:- PCS 1300 technical light wire. Can be used on the C2 and 3K model- light food-grade thread with single elastic core. Can be used on the C2 and 3K model- 3k technical thread - 3 elastic cores. Can only be used on the 3K model- 3k food grade wire - 3 elastic cores. Can only be used on the 3K model, resistant to a temperature of 210° for 2 hoursWe therefore recommend purchasing the 3K model as it can use all types of wireMinimum diameter of a beam: 7 mmBase plate: AluminiumNoise: Very lowCertified to EEC standardsTechnical Specifications / FeaturesModel: FP ASTRO-C2Extreme ease of useMechanical drive by inserting the product to be tiedAutomatic function after startRobust, continuous operationMinimal maintenance requiredLow noise levelAdjustable wire tensionSpeed: 94 cycles/minute (stainless steel model: 100 cycles/minute)Tie cycle duration: 0.64 secondsUseful height: max 150 mmWorking depth: max 250 mmMachine dimensions: 780x495x418 mmWorktop height: 270 mmMachine weight: 47 kgElectrical power: 220V - 50 Hz 1 phase
