LEG-100 automatic strapping machine

It straps the load automatically within the line, with no operator having to feed the strap round, so the end of the line does not depend on manual work.

The LEG-100 is the automatic strapping machine in the range. Unlike the semi-automatic model, where the operator passes the strap around the package, here the machine guides the strap through its frame, tensions it, seals it and cuts it without any intervention. Its catalogue sheet highlights two features: in-line integration and high production speed. The image shows it working on a full pallet of cardboard boxes, with a vertical mast, the strap guide frame and its electrical control cabinet.

It is the machine for an end of line that already runs continuously. In a packhouse or warehouse palletising in series, strapping by hand or with a table-top machine soon becomes a bottleneck. Integrated after palletising or stretch wrapping, the automatic strapping machine secures the load so it travels compactly without adding a workstation.

Compared with the horizontal strapping machine, which also has a mast and goes around the load horizontally, it is worth reviewing with you the type of load, its height and the position of the straps you need before choosing one or the other. Compared with the SQ-800 table-top model, designed for loose boxes and parcels, the LEG-100 works on large loads and within the flow of the line.

The strapping is chosen according to the load. As a general rule in the sector, polypropylene is used for light loads and grouping boxes, and polyester for medium and heavy loads that need more strength. If the strap tightens on cardboard boxes, edge protectors on the corners stop it from marking or crushing the corner boxes. Which strapping this unit takes, and in what width, we specify in the project.

At Fontanet Group (Fraga, Huesca) we have a team with more than 30 years in the sector. MARFONT, our machinery division, handles installation, operator training and technical service. Tell us about your load and your current line, and our sales team will study integrating the LEG-100 with you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the LEG-100 and the SQ-800?

The SQ-800 is a semi-automatic table-top machine: the operator passes the strap around boxes and parcels. The LEG-100 is automatic, integrates in line and straps with no operator input.

What strapping does it use?

It depends on the load: polypropylene for light loads and polyester for medium and heavy loads. We confirm the type and width this unit takes in the project.

Can it be integrated into my current line?

It is designed for in-line integration. To do it properly we need to know the load dimensions, how the load reaches the machine and what comes after it; our team will study it with you.
