An automated strapping system can be a very useful addition to any business that requires packaging of a variety of different materials. Producers without automatic strapping systems may find that their bottom line is compromised through excess waste and labor dollars spent, and that the strapping provided by an automated system meets specific standards set out, every time.
One of the most flexible options when it comes to automated strapping is the VKB side seal strapping machine. This system is designed so that it can be incorporated into an already existing conveyor strapping system and is easily customized to suit any package parameter. In addition, the side seal automated strapping machine can be used for an almost infinite variety of products, ensuring a well-strapped package guaranteed to retain cohesion and avoid damage. Let’s take a look at some of the products for which the VKB side seal automated strapping machine is already in use.
Building Products: When it comes to building products, variety is the order of the day. There are an infinite number of building products in manufacture today, and it is imperative that each one reaches their journey from manufacturer to builder intact. In fact this is more important than ever before, with the cost of building materials steadily on the rise. The automated side seal machine can be used, and in fact is in use, for packaging a full range of building materials including bricks, l-joists, siding, tiles, and blocks.
Boxed items: You might already have placed the manufactured products within a box for shipment and identification, but those boxes in turn must be strapped together in order to have easy loading and shipping. The flexibility of the side strapping machine means that boxed items can be strapped in a variety of different combinations, pre-set to offer the most beneficial usage. Items being strapped in this way include bins, boxed supplies, furniture items, and auto parts.
Palletizes Items: Finally, consider the need to provide secure strapping for any items that are transported on pallets. While the pallet provides the ground stability, strapping is needed to hold everything in place horizontally, and a strap put in place by a side seal provides just the right amount. Bottles, cans, food products, and other palletized items can all be efficiently and securely strapped down with the VKB side seal automated strapping machine.
