A strapping machine is electrically powered and uses strapping to consistently create a secure seal on parcels and packages that is guaranteed to hold.<\/p>\n<p>These machines do all the hard work, saving time, energy and materials in a typical packaging process.\u00a0 They do this without the need of manual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/strapping-accessories\/strapping-tools_C182220.html\">strapping tools<\/a> such as tensioners, cutters, or combination tools.\u00a0 The tension and strap strength can all be set by the operator, giving total control over the entire process of strapping.\u00a0 If you\u2019re regularly strapping parcels and shipments, then consider one to speed up your operation and improve efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>There are three types of strap machines; an automatic strapping machine, semi-automatic strapping machine, and handheld <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/strapping-machines-equipment\/semi-automatic-hand-strapping-machines_C182412.html\">strapping tools<\/a> &#8211; all with different benefits and applications depending on your requirements<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/strapping-machines-equipment_C1824.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1896 size-full\" title=\"A semi-automatic, handheld and automatic strapping machine\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/A-semi-automatic-handheld-and-automatic-strapping-machine.jpg\" alt=\"A semi-automatic, handheld and automatic strapping machine\" width=\"1534\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/A-semi-automatic-handheld-and-automatic-strapping-machine.jpg 1534w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/A-semi-automatic-handheld-and-automatic-strapping-machine-430x159.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/A-semi-automatic-handheld-and-automatic-strapping-machine-768x284.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/A-semi-automatic-handheld-and-automatic-strapping-machine-1024x379.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/A-semi-automatic-handheld-and-automatic-strapping-machine-624x231.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1534px) 100vw, 1534px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211; A semi-automatic, handheld and automatic strapping machine.<\/p>\n<p>Automatic strapping machines are high performance, work best on high volume lines and are a bigger investment. Completely automated, they\u2019re able to dispense up to 65 straps per minute making them ideal for production lines. \u00a0In one smooth motion they strap a parcel, sealing and cutting the strap to size as per the tension level set by the operator. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/strapping-machines-equipment\/automatic-strapping-machine_PDT04646.html?launch_media=video\">Watch the automatic strapping machine in action<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/strapping-machines-equipment\/automatic-strapping-machine_PDT04646.html?launch_media=video\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1888 size-full\" title=\"Watch the Rajapack automatic strapping machine video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Watch-the-Rajapack-automatic-strapping-machine-video.jpg\" alt=\"Watch the Rajapack automatic strapping machine video\" width=\"611\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Watch-the-Rajapack-automatic-strapping-machine-video.jpg 611w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Watch-the-Rajapack-automatic-strapping-machine-video-430x239.jpg 430w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/strapping-machines-equipment\/semi-automatic-strapping-machines_PDT04645.html\">Semi-automatic strapping machines<\/a> are lower cost and are more suited to lower volume operations, though still able to seal up to 24 straps per minute.\u00a0 They tension, seal and cut the strapping in one motion, though with these machines the strapping has to be fed in manually so some operator work is required.<\/p>\n<p>Handheld strapping machines are the smallest and most portable. These battery powered machines are lightweight and easy to handle. They\u2019re ideal if you don\u2019t have the space for a large machine or need to strap items in different locations.\u00a0 These small machines tension, seal and cut quickly and efficiently and can be pre-programmed to set the tension strength.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How does a Strapping Machine work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Depending on what type of strapping machine you\u2019re using, it will work in one of three different ways. Below we\u2019ve outlined each type of machine and detailed how they work so you can be fully informed before committing to a new packaging machine for your business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Automatic strapping machines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These fully automatic machines are the quickest and simplest to use once they have been prepared and setup.\u00a0 With the tension set, simply place a parcel on the machine and begin the strapping process with the touch of a button.\u00a0 The items are fully strapped automatically, with the strap tensioned and cut by the machine.\u00a0 The parcel can then simply be removed, ready for the next shipment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Semi-automatic strapping machines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These machines require a little more operator involvement than automatic machines, as the user feeds in the strapping manually around each parcel they wish to strap.\u00a0 This is a simple operation but takes slightly longer than using an automatic machine.\u00a0 Once the parcel has been placed onto the machine in the correct orientation, the user simply has to feed the strapping through, engage the machine, and the strapping is tightened to the set tension automatically and cut in one smooth simple action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Handheld strapping <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These small, portable devices work quite differently to the larger machines above. A small handheld device, they are simple to operate, lightweight and easy to handle.\u00a0 The strapping has to be wrapped around the item and placed in the machine where it then automatically tightens, tensions and seals the strap in one smooth action.\u00a0 Being handheld, they can be used vertically or horizontally and the tension strength can be set on the machine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/strapping-machines-equipment\/semi-automatic-hand-strapping-machines_C182412.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1890 size-medium\" title=\"Handheld strapping machines perfect for bundling products\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Handheld-strapping-machines-perfect-for-bundling-products-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion battery that typically take 30 \u2013 40 minutes to fully charge and is capable of applying up to 440 strapping cycles per charge, depending on which device you use \u2013 plenty to get through a good amount of parcels in between charges.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to use a Strapping Machine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Depending on which type of strapping machine you\u2019re using, the operation will vary slightly.\u00a0 Below we\u2019ve outlined the basic steps in how to operate the different types of machine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Automatic &amp; semi-automatic strapping machines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These two types of machines work in a similar manner, being an upright machine with a flat surface to work from.\u00a0 For both, the strapping is typically fed from the bottom or the side of the machine, where the strapping reel is placed and feeds into the machine.<\/p>\n<p>To operate, one must place the parcel in the specified spot on the machine, so that the position of the strap is in the correct place to wrap around the item.\u00a0 For semi-automatic machines, you\u2019ll then need to feed the strap over the top of the item and into the other side where it is fed back into the machine (automatic machines do this part without the need of manual intervention.)<\/p>\n<p>Engaging the machine with the on button will then tighten and tension the strap, cut and seal it securely around the parcel. It can then quickly and easily be removed and the next one placed on.\u00a0 This simple and seamless process makes it ideal for quickly strapping parcels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Handheld strapping machines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Otherwise known as handheld strapping tools, are convenient as they are portable, these small machines require a little more manual work to operate but the flexibility they offer for strapping is second to none.\u00a0 To operate, manually loop the plastic strapping, either PET strapping (also known as poly strapping) or polypropylene strapping all the way around the pallet, parcel or cartons. \u00a0\u00a0Once looped, feed both ends of the strapping into the handheld machine.\u00a0 With a pull of the trigger, it will then tighten and tension the strap, cut and fully seal it, giving a secure fit all around the item.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to use Polypropylene Strapping<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/strapping-and-industrial-stapling\/polypropylene-strapping_C3410.html\">Polypropylene strapping<\/a> (also known as PP) is one of the lightest and most versatile materials, making it ideal for sealing, reinforcing and securing lighter loads.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/strapping-accessories\/polypropylene-strapping_C182210.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1893 size-medium aligncenter\" title=\"How to use polypropylene strapping\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/How-to-use-polypropylene-strapping-222x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to use polypropylene strapping\" width=\"222\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When using PP strapping with a machine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/strapping-accessories\/polypropylene-machine-strapping_OFF_UK_0029.html\">polypropylene machine strapping<\/a> must be used \u2013 this is specifically designed for use in machines with regular embossing and straight parallel edges.\u00a0 This strapping is easier to work with and handle than heavier duty materials such as steel or polyester strapping, but gloves should still be worn when handling and loading this strapping onto a machine for use.<\/p>\n<p>A popular question asked is how to use a polypropylene strapping machine, however there is no specific strapping machine for PP strapping, you can use an automatic, semi-automatic strapping machine or handheld strapping tools.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are strapping a pallet or strapping boxes, then make sure you use the right material for the job.\u00a0 Take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/guide-choosing-right-strapping\">our guide to choosing the right strapping<\/a> to help you decide.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like more information about strapping machines, systems or advice on which may be best suited for your packaging operation, simply get in touch with our team of packaging machine experts who are on hand to help.\u00a0 Simply visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\">www.rajapack.co.uk<\/a> or contact our team on 0800 142 26 46, or <a href=\"mailto:machines@rajapack.co.uk\">machines@rajapack.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most secure ways to fix a pallet or join parcels together is with strapping.\u00a0 It\u2019s a topic we\u2019ve recently covered, detailing what is strapping and how to [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":3846,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-packaging-products-materials"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Your Guide to Strapping Machines | Shipping &amp; Storage<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Choosing strapping machines to secure products, fasten and bundle.
