Strapping Machines

Strapping machines are used to secure parcels, pallets and bundles quickly and consistently in busy warehouse environments. We supply three main types to suit different packing setups. Friction weld tools are cordless, battery-powered units ideal for mobile use or strapping oversized loads without a fixed bench. For static workstations, semi-automatic machines offer a compact, reliable solution – including our best-selling TMS300, trusted in warehouses for consistent, day-to-day performance.

Fully automatic machines are suited to larger-scale environments, where speed and efficiency are essential. These systems integrate with conveyors or packing lines to streamline the full strapping cycle without constant supervision. All machines in this range are designed for use with polypropylene strapping and are backed by a 12-month return-to-base warranty as standard.

FAQs

Strapping machines are typically designed for polypropylene (PP) strap, which is lightweight, flexible and cost-effective. Most semi-automatic and automatic models run 12mm wide strap, but some use narrower widths depending on the machine design. It’s important to match both the width and core size of the strap to your specific machine to ensure your machine runs as it should.

While both use polypropylene (PP) strapping, the format is different. Strapping machines typically use 5mm, 9mm or 12mm strap wound onto 200mm cardboard cores. This format is designed to feed smoothly through semi-automatic or automatic machines.

Friction weld tools use hand strapping coils in 12mm, 16mm or 19mm widths, depending on the model. These coils are supplied on smaller plastic reels and are more portable, making them suitable for mobile or pallet strapping setups. They are often used with a dispenser trolley for easier handling.

Most polypropylene strap used with machines has a break strength between 130-180kg, which is suitable for standard cartons, bundles and pallets. Heavier loads or export packaging may require a higher-strength strap or a different strapping method altogether.

No. Machine strap is designed to be loaded directly into the machine itself, so a dispenser is not required. The reel sits inside the base or housing of the unit and feeds automatically during operation.

Dispenser trolleys are used with hand strapping coils for mobile use, such as with friction weld tools or manual tensioners.

Semi-automatic machines require the operator to place and feed the strap around the package - the machine then tensions, seals and cuts it. Automatic machines handle the full cycle with minimal input and are usually integrated into conveyor or packing lines.

No. These machines are designed for polypropylene strap only. PET and steel strapping require different tools and tensioning methods and are not compatible with semi-automatic or automatic machines in this range.

Choosing the Right Strapping Machine

Strapping machines need to be matched to the correct strap width and coil type to run reliably. Most semi-automatic and automatic machines are designed for 12mm polypropylene strap on 200mm core reels, though some models are configured for 5mm or 9mm widths. Friction weld tools are handheld and use coil-fed strap between 12mm and 19mm, depending on the model. These tools are mobile by design and are typically used with a dispenser trolley for ease of handling. They’re well suited to pallet work or strapping larger items where a static machine isn’t practical.

For low-volume or occasional strapping, a semi-automatic machine offers a compact, reliable solution that fits well at a packing bench. For faster paced or repeat packing tasks, automatic machines help reduce handling time and maintain packing consistency. Friction weld tools are best suited to pallet strapping or larger loads where mobility is needed – paired with a dispenser trolley, they allow operators to move easily between jobs. We stock strap, tools and accessories to suit all common machine formats. If you’re unsure what setup would work best, just get in touch.
