Automatic strapping machines
An automatic strapping machine is a strapping system designed to perform the strapping cycle in a controlled and repeatable manner: feeding, pick up, tensioning, sealing and cutting of the strap.
An automatic stapping machine helps you to:
- Stabilize the load for handling and transport.
- Efficiency in product tensioning and sealing.
- Reduce incidents and downtime.
- Maintain a steady pace of production.
- Increase productivity.
- Reduce staff.
- Minimice injured staff.
How do we work in SAIZAR: custom design and total control
At SAIZAR we design automatic strapping machines with your plant’s actual environment in mind: product, cadence, layout, and integration.
Control from control panel (HMI) and parameter adjustment
Our strapping machines are designed to be controlled from a control panel, where you can control the parameters and execute the system operations.
Steel strap or polyester (PET) depending application
We can design and manufacture the equipment for an automatic strapping using steel strap or polyester (PET) strap according your application and needs, and in typical industrial widths such as 16, 19, 25 or 32 mm and for projects involving demanding loads and products.
Common type of strapping and configuration
Circumferential and radial strapping
When you work with coils, the same strapping machine can perform the radial strapping and circumferential strapping with the coil in a horizontal or vertical position, adapting the process to the direction of transport and the type of shipment. In turn, a single strapping machine can perform only radial strapping of the coil, whether it is wire, wire rod, sheet metal, etc. Circumferential strapping can also be performed by a single strapping machine. In other words, depending on the needs, product, productivity, space, etc., the most suitable equipment for the application is chosen.
Transverse and longitudinal strapping
In applications such as for sheet metal packages, we can propose transversal and longitudinal, either with a single strapping machine or with separate strapping machines. On the contrary, if we are talking about bundles of tubes, bars, pipes, profiles, etc. in that case it is necessary to perform transverse strapping. In addition, the strapping machine can be moved to different strapping positions or kept fixed, with the package being positioned according to your line flow and the space available.
Typical sectors and applications
In continuous production-oriented solutions, our strapping machines are designed to operate 24/7 with simple maintenance.
For example:
Industrial products that require stability
Applications with format changes or different strapping points
Environments where machine availability is critical
Limited spaces
Different types of environments

How to choose your automatic strapping machines
To define the correct automatic strapping machine, the most effective approach is to provide the following information:
Products and dimesions:
(bundles, coils, tubes, bars, etc.)
Type of strapping:
radial/circumferential or transversal/longitudinal
Type of strap:
steel or PET, and planned widths (p. ej., 16/19/25/32 mm in industrial applications)
Cadence and cycle times:
number of strapping operations per hour and number of products to be strapped per hour
Stapping points:
and positioning strategy (mobile machine vs ovile product)
Line integration:
conveyors, safety, control and layout
Integration into packaging lines and automation
An automatic strapping machine works best when integrated as part of your process: transport, positioning, safety and control.
We design the solution so that the strapping fits your workflow (strapping positions, transport direction and type of product), and so that you can evolve towards a complete packaging line when you need to.
Service, spare parts and technical support
To ensure continuity, we accompany the project with technical support and a focus on maintainability. In facilities geared toward continuous production, this is key to maintaining the availability of the strapping machine on a day-to-day basis.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an automatic strapping machine and a semi automatic strapping machine?
In automatic mode, the system executes the cycle with greater integration and repeatability, without the need for an operator; in semi-automatic mode, operator intervention is required during the process.
Can we control the strapping machine from a console?
Yes, we work with strapping machines designed to be operated from a control panel, controlling parameters and operations.
Can we use steel or PET strapping on the same installation?
Yes, we set up the strapping with steel or polyester (PET) depending on the application, and in industrial widths such as 16/19/25/32 mm for specific projects.
What is radial strapping and what is circumferential strapping?
These are two strapping configurations commonly used on coils; the same strapping machine can perform both types with the coil in a horizontal or vertical position, depending on the transport and packaging requirements, or this can be done using separate equipment.
Can transvers and longitudinal strapping be done on the same machine?
Yes, for applications such as sheet metal packages, we propose transverse and longitudinal strapping, and we define whether the machine or the package moves according to your line. It is also possible for a single strapping machine to perform only transverse strapping, whether for sheet metal packages, tubes, pipes, profiles, or bars.
Are they prepared to work 24/7?
Yes, our strapping machines are designed to operate 24 hours a day, 7 hours a week, with simple maintenance.
What information do you need to size the strapping machine?
Product, dimensions, type of strap, type of strapping, cadence, strapping points and how it fits into your line (layout and transport).
Can it be integrated into an existing packaging line?
Yes, we design the integration so that strapping fits in with the transport flow and strapping positions, both on new and existing lines.
What strip widths are used in demanding industrial applications?
In certain applications, we work with widths such as 16, 19, 25 and 32 mm, depending on the product and stability objective.
What is the next step if I want a proposal?
Tell us about your product, cadence, and layout. With that information, we will propose the design of the strapping machine and the integration approach.
