PAC Strapping Products Introduces STRAPBLASTER® Technology for Cleaning Debris Buildup for Automated Strapping Machines

PAC Strapping Products, a leader in the strapping and packaging industry, is proud to introduce its latest innovation in strapping technology—STRAPBLASTER® Technology. This cutting-edge in-line air blast cleaning system revolutionizes the maintenance of automatic strapping machines, delivering unprecedented operational efficiency, reliability, and ease of use.

STRAPBLASTER® Technology is designed to address one of the most common pain points in strapping equipment: debris buildup. Over time, dust and particles from strapping materials accumulate around critical components, leading to feed errors and equipment downtime. To tackle this issue, STRAPBLASTER® Technology utilizes a controlled burst of air after each strapping cycle to clean the sealing head and feed areas, ensuring optimal performance and significantly reducing maintenance needs.

In a series of rigorous tests performed on an Transpak TP-702BSM65-FA strapping machine, STRAPBLASTER® Technology achieved outstanding results. At 80 PSI, With with a continuous air blast at 80 PSI or a 0.5-second air burst after each cycle, the system reduced the rate of short-feed errors by over 80%, as compared to control tests with no air assistance. This improvement can potentially eliminate up to 3,000 feed errors over the
lifetime of a typical strapping machine, translating to substantial cost savings and
operational efficiency for users. STRAPBLASTER® Technology is highly customizable to fit a variety of machine models and sizes, with both manual and fully automatic options available. The automated system, which can be integrated with fully automatic machines like the TP-702BSM60-FA and TP-702CQ3SM65-FA, includes a solenoid valve and advanced PLC control for seamless operation. The air pressure can be fine-tuned to ensure that components remain clean without exceeding safe operating limits, protecting delicate machine parts while maintaining peak performance.

STRAPBLASTER® Technology is designed with ease of use in mind. For operators, the automated air blasts ensure that critical areas remain free of debris, reducing the need for manual cleaning and minimizing machine downtime. This automated solution not only cuts maintenance time but also extends the lifespan of equipment by keeping components cleaner for longer. Additionally, STRAPBLASTER® Technology reduces overall maintenance costs by eliminating excessive wear caused by dirt buildup.

PAC Strapping Products invites Plant Managers, Maintenance Engineers, and Operations Managers to experience the benefits of STRAPBLASTER® Technology. By enhancing equipment reliability and reducing manual cleaning efforts, STRAPBLASTER® Technology promises to improve operational uptime and lower the total cost of ownership for strapping systems across multiple industries.
