In SorsaWe know that proper strapping is crucial to the safety of your products. However, we've identified some common mistakes that can compromise their integrity. Here's how to avoid them!
1. Incorrect strap tension: A strap that is not properly tensioned allows products to move, while an overly tight strap can damage them.
- Solution: Adjust the proper tension on your automatic strapping tool or machine.
2. Using the wrong type of strapping: Each strap has its purpose. Did you know that polypropylene is ideal for lightweight packages, polyester for palletizing, and steel strapping for steel products?
- Solution: Ask our sales team! We'll help you choose the perfect strapping and optimize your processes.
3. Ignoring equipment maintenance: Blades, friction plates, heating elements… Continuous use wears down the critical parts of your strapping machines.
- Solution: Hire preventive maintenance. Ensure the lifespan of your equipment and avoid unexpected downtime!
4. Banding without standardizing the process: When each operator straps "their own way" or constantly switches suppliers, inconsistencies and equipment problems arise.
- Solution: Train your team, define an internal strapping standard, and verify that the strapping used is approved by the machine manufacturer.
