PAC Strapping Products (Exton, PA) announced its STRAPBLASTER Technology, an in-line air blast cleaning system designed to address debris buildup in strapping equipment. The technology utilizes a controlled burst of air after each strapping cycle to clean the sealing head and feed areas.
Features:
- At 80 PSI, with continuous air blast or 0.5-second air burst after each cycle, system reduced rate of short-feed errors by over 80% compared to control tests with no air assistance
- Potential to eliminate up to 3,000 feed errors over lifetime of typical strapping machine
- Customizable to fit variety of machine models and sizes, with both manual and fully automatic options available
- Automated system, which can be integrated with fully automatic machines, includes solenoid valve and advanced PLC control
- Air pressure that can be fine-tuned to ensure components remain clean without exceeding safe operating limits
- Cuts maintenance time
- Extends lifespan of equipment
- Reduces overall maintenance costs by eliminating excessive wear caused by dirt buildup
