New Sorsa PIE 800 VS 12+T400: The Automatic Double Head Strapping Machine for the Metalworking Sector
The steel and tube manufacturing sectors demand high-strength, high-speed, and adaptable industrial packaging solutions. To meet these demands, Sorsa presents the PIE 800 VS 12+T400, an innovative automatic strapping machine equipped with double-head strapping systems and automated consumable change.
This technology revolutionizes the end of the line by integrating into a single piece of equipment the ability to alternate between PET (polyester) strapping and steel strapping, optimizing processes without the need for manual stops.
One Team, Two Strapping Systems Without Interruptions
The great competitive advantage of the Sorsa PIE 800 VS 12+T400 lies in its advanced intelligent system, which manages the change of strap type and its respective welding in an automated manner from the control panel.
Depending on the loading requirements of each batch of tubes or profiles, the machine selects the optimal technology:
Polyester (PET) Strapping: It uses a friction welding sealing system. It is the ideal choice for packages requiring high elasticity, shock absorption, and long-term tension retention.
Steel Strapping: Configured with a TIG welding sealing system. It guarantees maximum structural strength, rigidity, and safety for the heaviest and most demanding tube bundles.
Advantages of Hybrid Automatic Strapping in the Metal Industry
Implementing a double-head strapping machine in steelmaking environments brings direct benefits to the supply chain and productivity:
1. Continuous Productivity (Zero Downtime)
By automating the changeover between polyester and steel, the downtime required for physical reconfiguration or traditional machinery changeover is completely eliminated.
2. Optimization of Operating Costs
It allows you to switch between the most cost-effective and suitable packaging material for each product with a single click. There's no longer any need to overspend on packaging if a lightweight batch can be secured with PET strapping instead of steel.
3. Sorsa High Robustness Engineering
Specifically designed to withstand the harshest environmental conditions, metal dust and the high work rates typical of the metallurgical sector.
