Model SL    "Seal-Less Strapping Heads"
For 3/8" to 3/4" x .023 max.

The "SL" Strapping Head eliminates the cost of seals and the associated expense to inventory and ordering them. The "SL" Head is primarily suited for flat surfaces. The head is a modular design with the In-feed Guide & Strap Straightening, Gripper/Cutter and Sealing assemblies all being independent modules that can be replaced in a matter minutes with a spare module; Keeping down time to and absolute minimum.

Our Model SL Strapping Head has proven itself over the years in many 24/7 applications in the Automotive, Tobacco, Concrete Block, Lumber, and Container Industries.

The SC Strapping Head is specifically designed for strapping objects with a limited or irregular shaped sealing surface and for applications where the additional security of a "Seal" is required to prevent the exposed seal joint from accidentally being opened. Typical applications are bundles of pipe, bar stock, slit coils, tobacco bales and paper rolls using "tight edge" or "curved edge" strapping material.



The unique feature of the "SC" Strapping Heads is the quick change modular "sealing mechanism". The majority of the "SC" Strapping Head functions are in this module. It is designed for easy and fast replacement. It includes seal feed, seal crimping, seal and strap cut-off and gripping functions. The unit can be removed and replaced with a back-up unit in less than 5 minutes. This provides you the option of stocking a replacement module(s) that you can service yourself, or you can send it to Triangle Technologies, for factory service, repair and adjustment without interrupting normal production. The unit weighs less than 35 lbs and is easily and economically sent by UPS or FedEx.

Triangle Technologies Model "SC" Strapping Head also features the unique "seals in a coil" that employs positive one at a time seal feeding. With the seal dispensers1 ability to hold 2500 double notch or 4000 single notch seals downtime is greatly reduced when compared to reloading a "magazine" of seals that typically hold only about 300 seals.

Optional Equipment
Test Stand/Service Fixture


The Test Stand allows for "off-the-machine" service and repair of the Modular Sealing Mechanism on your SC Strapping Heads. You can inspect, adjust, repair and test the mechanisms components that are associated with strap gripping, strap cut-off, seal feed, sealing, and seal cutoff. The use of this Test Stand to adjust the sealing mechanism and produce sample seals before the mechanism goes back into the production strapping head reduces down time and improves the overall up time of your Strapping System.

Strapping machines are mechanical devices which can speed up the process of wrapping pallets or products in cabled plastic or similar material, preventing the product from splitting apart or falling to pieces in transit. These machines can come in a variety of sizes and types.

There are hand battery operated machines which are capable of being used by workers on a factory or warehouse floor. The advantage here is that they rely on small batteries and are very portable.

Then there are archless strapping machines that are about the height of an assembly line, allowing for easy integration into any product assembly structure. Arched strapping machines can also be placed near an assembly line and can handle larger products, reaching speeds of up to 60 or so straps per minute. These machines are entirely automated, reducing the amount of time you need to spend on preparing your product for transportation.

All strapping machines use a dispenser to wrap plastic or other material strips around the product. Some machines, such as the hand-held types, have the dispenser built in.

Mastek contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.

Larger, arched machines have a separate, powered dispenser that loads new coils or bundles of plastic strapping when the old one is depleted. A series of pulleys are used with the larger machines that can store strap and prepare it for easy wrapping around the target product.

Most of the time, you’ll find vertical strapping machines as opposed to horizontal versions. Automatic strapping machines of this type use photocells to find where the bundle is, when to begin wrapping, and when to cease operation. This level of automation is great for your business since it can allow your workers to move onto other projects or only require one worker for maintenance.

Summary: Strapping machines are automated or hand-held machines that speed up the strapping process, using cable-like material to bind products or packaging together for easy transport.
