This cutting-edge in-line air blast cleaning system revolutionizes the maintenance of automatic strapping machines, delivering unprecedented operational efficiency, reliability, and ease of use. Air Blast Cleaning Process Over time, dust and particles from strapping materials accumulatearoundcritical components, leading to feederrors and equipment downtime. STRAPBLASTER™ Technology utilizes a controlled burst of air after each strapping cycle to clean the sealing head and feed areas, ensuring optimal performance and significantly reducing maintenance needs. Benefits of Strapping Machine Maintenance STRAPBLASTER™ Technology is designed with ease of use in mind. For operators, the automated air blasts ensure that critical areas remain free of debris, reducing the need for manual cleaning and minimizing machine downtime. This automated solution not only cuts maintenance time but also extends the lifespan of equipment by keeping components cleaner for longer.Additionally,STRAPBLASTER™Technology reduces overall maintenance costs by eliminating excessive wear caused by dirt buildup. Proven Results In a series of rigorous tests performed on an SM65-FA strapping machine, STRAPBLASTER™ Technology achieved outstanding results. At 80 PSI, with a continuous air blast or a 0.5-second air burst after each cycle, the system reduced the rate of short-feed errors by over 80%, as compared to control tests with no air assistance. This improvement can potentially eliminate up to 3,000 feed errors over the lifetime of a typical strapping machine, translating to substantial cost savings and operational efficiency for users. STRAPBLASTER™ Technology Air Blast Cleaning Features Customizability: STRAPBLASTER™ Technology is highly customizable to fit a variety of machine models and sizes, with both manual and fully automatic options available. Automation: The automated system, which can be integrated with fully automatic machines like the SM60-FA and SM65-FA, includes a solenoid valve and advanced PLC control for seamless operation. Air Pressure Adjustments: The air pressure can be fine-tuned to ensure that components remain clean without exceeding safe operating limits, protecting delicate machine parts while maintaining peak performance. The STRAPBLASTER™ Technology is a fast, cost effective, stainless, side seal unit, available as a stand-alone strapper or with an automated conveyor system.

AUTOMATED STRAPPING MACHINE MAINTENANCE Before test: Arrow indicates heavy buildup of strapping debris around the feed wheels. Circle highlights debris buildup on table covers and slide table that will get pulled into the cutting assembly. After test: With constant air you can see a significant reduction in debris in the strapping guides and around the cutting tool area.
