Strapping Machine is a common packaging machinery term in foreign trade, referring to equipment that uses strapping bands (such as PP, PET, or steel straps) to automatically or semi-automatically strap goods, used to reinforce pallets, cartons, or loose items to prevent scattering during transportation. Usage scenarios include: pallet packing for export goods, cargo securing inside containers, e-commerce warehouse outbound, etc. Notes: It is necessary to specify the strap material (PP/PET/steel), strap width, tension, power supply voltage (e.g., 220V/380V/50Hz), whether straps are included, and operation mode (manual/semi-automatic/fully automatic). It differs from a 'Carton Sealing Machine,' which focuses on tape sealing, while a strapping machine focuses on strapping; it also differs from a 'Wrapping Machine,' which uses film wrapping. In foreign trade quotations, model, power, packing dimensions, and certifications (e.g., CE) must be stated, and whether wooden case packing is included must be confirmed to avoid return shipment due to voltage or strap specification mismatch.
📝 Examples
1. The 20 fully automatic strapping machines we exported to Germany use 380V voltage and PET straps, have passed CE certification; please confirm whether additional straps need to be ordered. (Note: Specify equipment parameters and certification, and remind about accessory requirements.)
2. The customer requires the strapping machine to be used for both pallet strapping and carton packing; please recommend a semi-automatic model and attach an FOB Shanghai quotation. (Note: Recommend a model based on the application scenario and ask about trade terms.)
