With the SM65-FA, you don’t only get a fully automatic strapping machine, but also PAC’s expert support. The system is backed by PAC’s network of factory‑trained technicians and over 99% of parts availability within 24 hours.
Key Features & Advantages
Simplified Strapping Head
Utilizing the latest technology, the strapping head has 30% fewer parts than comparable strappers, resulting in fewer adjustments, minimal maintenance costs, and higher reliability.
Waist High Auto Feeding
This ergonomic feature allows the operator to feed the strap automatically from the top of the coil, making coil changes quick and easy and reducing operator fatigue.
Tool-Free Maintenance Access
For ease of maintenance, this patented feature allows access to the strap guides with no need for tools, while hinged top plates allow easy access to major mechanical components.
Intuitive LCD Control Panel
The operator control panel easily controls all major functions, with multiple strap patterns available, allowing the process to be adapted to various packaging needs.
Smart Integration
A built-in interlocking plug allows the SM65-FA to communicate seamlessly with existing conveying systems, both upstream and downstream in the process.
Adjustable Conveyer Speed
Speed can be adjusted to fit your process, ranging from 10 meters (32.8 ft)/minute to 60 meters (196.8 ft)/minute.
Automatic End of Coil Detection and Ejection
The system automatically detects when the strap coil is empty and ejects the remaining strap tail, alerting the operator to a coil change and preventing production delays.
Adjustable Table Height
Table height can be easily adjusted to accommodate different product sizes and operator preferences, ensuring optimal ergonomics and compatibility with various conveyor systems.
