Technical Insights: Steel wire strapping machine

Compaction and Containment

Wire coils are springy and difficult to handle. Steel Wire Strapping Machines are actually hybrid machines: they are Compactors + Strappers. A hydraulic press descends to compress the loose wire coil, removing air gaps, while the strapping head applies multiple straps simultaneously to hold the compressed state.

High Force Application

These machines can exert compaction forces ranging from 5 to 40 tons. The result is a dense, stable package that is safe to transport and maximizes shipping container density.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

How many straps are applied?

Typically 4 straps are applied radially. Advanced machines have 4 separate heads to apply all straps at once, or a rotating turntable to apply them sequentially with one head.
Q

Is wire strap used to strap wire coils?

Sometimes high-tensile steel wire is used as the strapping material itself (wire binding), but modern trends are moving towards high-tension PET or steel band for better safety and recycling.
