Set-up tips for smooth running
- Match core & width: Use the correct core (e.g., 200 mm I.D.) and strap width your machine is designed for.
- Dial in tension: Start moderate and increase until the strap holds firm without crushing cartons.
- Keep the path clean: Clear strap dust, check guides/rollers, and ensure the dispenser brake is set correctly.
- Store well: Keep rolls dry and out of direct sun to maintain consistent feed and tension.
When to consider PET or steel instead
PP machine pallet strapping is the value choice for light–medium loads and short-haul freight. For heavier, taller, or long-distance pallets where low stretch is critical, step up to PET. Reserve steel for very high tension, sharp edges, or high-temperature environments.
FAQs: machine poly strap
- Will cheaper plastic strap save money?
- Not usually. Low-grade strap can shed dust, jam, and stretch inconsistently—causing downtime and rework that outweighs any saving.
- Is machine PP strap recyclable?
- Polypropylene (resin code #5) is recyclable where facilities exist. Check local programs or speak with your recycler.
- Can I use this strap by hand?
- It’s designed for machines. For hand application, choose hand-grade PP with tensioner/crimper and seals or buckles.
