Automatic machine for longitudinal and transversal strapping Saizar manufactures strapping and packaging solutions for the steel industry, taking into consideration the client’s specifications and technical requirements to adjust the machine. In addition to automatic strapping machines, Saizar can offer packaging solutions such as compactors, wrapping solutions, cardboard protector systems and wooden runners. One of the company’s most recent automatic solutions was designed for the strapping of nickel packages that are placed in a strapping table. The nickel package is located in the strapping station, centred and turned 90° for longitudinal strapping; the machines can displace laterally to each strapping position, depending on how many strappings need to be performed on each package. Having performed the longitudinal strapping, the nickel package turns 90°, ready for the transversal strapping. The machines also have an integrated system where wooden runners are introduced automatically along with each transversal strapping. Once the machine is placed correctly in the strapping position and the wooden runner is introduced, each machine performs the strapping with steel strap of 32mm, in accordance with the client’s requirements. Finally, when all the strapping has been performed, the client is responsible for evacuating the package from the strapping
