A strapping machine secures one or more items for handling and product transport by placing a flat strap around the perimeter. The strap is held in place by various methods, including heat, friction, and ultrasonic welds. A plastic strapping machine uses multiple sizes of thin plastic strap to ensure products stay together.
Strapping machines range from small semi-automatic or “table top” units to automatic “arch” machines, sometimes called bundlers. Larger, fully automatic machine systemssecure pallet loads and shipping units for transport and storage
