Pallet Strapping Machines & Machinery

What are Pallet Strapping Machines?

In warehouse processes and packing environments, products, boxes and pallets are strapped before being distributed and despatched. Pallet strapping machines serve an important function in securing the items and making them safe to transport. Pallets are normally strapped using hand tools or by a specialist pallet strapping machine. Hand tools are cheap to buy offer an economical means of strapping a pallet. However machinery is used in higher-volume applications where hand tools would be inefficient, difficult or unsafe.

The strapping of pallets involves tightly securing a length of thin polypropylene or polyester plastic strapping around the box or pallet. This strong strapping is applied with tension to ensure the contents of the pallet don’t move and can’t come loose. Therefore pallet strapping machines fulfil a vital industrial role both in efficiency and safety.

Most pallet wrapping machines involve the operator threading or feeding a length of strapping through the bottom of the pallet and sealing it. As the pallet remains static for this operation, even large and heavy items can be strapped easily. This machinery also makes the task of strapping a pallet much less physical and dangerous and speeds up the job immensely.

Pallet Strapping Materials

Strapping comes in a variety of materials to suit different applications. Polyester strapping is very light, has a high breaking strength and is suitable for applications in extremes of temperature. Polyester strapping is a non-staining solution and provides a solid alternative to steel strapping.

Polypropylene straps are perfect for light or medium strength applications. They offer a very economical, yet still relatively strong strapping solution for many applications where steel or polyester strapping is not required.

As the strongest variety of strapping material, steel strapping is employed in various in strength-critical applications for heavy items such as building supplies. Polyester has replaced steel strapping in many applications, although it is still the best choice of strapping material for many applications where high strength is vital. Steel strapping can be sealed or buckled.

Extended Functions Strapping Functions

Pallet strapping machines can be integrated with other packaging equipment such as pallet wrappers to provide a full strapping and wrapping solution. Such systems can even be implemented as automatic packaging stations programmed centrally in a production line.

As an extra consideration to secure pallets, some vertical strapping machinery utilise a sword function that penetrates the gaps in a pallet, linking the products to the pallet.
