Box strapping is the process of surrounding a rectangular or square box with a strap. This can be done by following the edges of the box to ensure any round objects or something like cables will fit properly.

The fully automatic strapping machine is designed for strapping ceramic and sanitaryware products.

Strapping machines should be designed taking into account environmental (dust, humidity) and speed factors in the ceramics and sanitary ware industry. Therefore, care should be taken in the selection of industrial equipment. Products must be packaged securely without any damage during the packaging process. Strap tension setting is determined according to the product.

Box strapping machine and pallet strapping machines are used to secure product stacks in the ceramics and sanitary ware industry. Depending on the pallet dimensions, the machines are produced to respond to the entire product portfolio. Thus, the efficiency in packaging is increased.

Strapping Machine Features

Capacity

Capacity is shaped according to customer demand. Increasing elevator, bayonet and lane driving speeds provides a significant increase in the number of pallets thrown into the hoop.

In box strapping machines, time is saved from the elevator up-down movement and strapping is done at high capacities due to the absence of a bayonet.

Adjustable options

Via the operator panel, users can configure different types of binding functions. Options such as parallel or cross bracing and number of hoops can be selected on the screen.

Rotary system

The rotary conveyor allows the products to be rotated. Thus, the products are strapped diagonally on the same machine.

Technicial Specifications

Strap Type: Pet – PP – Steel

Circle Thickness (mm): 0.6 – 1.4

Circle Width (mm): 9 – 32

Tension Force (Newton): 2.000 – 8.000 (PET-PP)

2,000 – 20,000 (Steel)

The box strapping process usually includes these steps:

Determine the dimensions of the box: Measure dimensions such as the width, height and depth of the box.

Calculate the perimeter of the box: To calculate the perimeter of the box, add the width and height values, then multiply the result by 2.

Determine the circumference of the circle: You may want the circle to be equal to or slightly larger than the circumference of the box. In this case, use the perimeter of the box to determine the circumference of the circle.

Calculate the diameter of the circle: You can calculate the diameter of the circle using its circumference. By dividing the circumference by the number π (pi), you can find the diameter.

Calculate the radius of the circle: Calculate the radius of the circle as half its diameter.

Place the circle on the top surface of the box: Using the radius or diameter of the circle, draw or mark a conveniently placed circle on the top surface of the box.

By following these steps, you can perform the box strapping process and see how the strapping surrounds the box. This can be especially useful when there are objects that need to be placed inside the hoop, such as electrical cables or pipes.
