To improve and update the packaging facility within your warehouse, you may have considered the purchase of an automatic banding machine. Simply, this rotates your product by 90° for each turn. This ensures that individual products can be both packed and then banded without any damage to the item.
Forming Part of Your Conveyor Belt System
As part of your conveyor belt system, the modular structure of an automatic banding machine can be purchased with additions that help push products into the banding area, stoppers to ensure they can’t move any further and side rollers to help move the product to the next location.
Essentially, automatic banding machines can be integrated into various areas of your warehouse, with the most common use being after the products have been packaged and perhaps boxed so that they can be removed and prepared for your shipping process.
Depending upon your specific requirements, the machines can be purchased in conjunction with cutting and folding machinery, which is of systematic use for the graphics industry.
Speed Is Important
As you process products through your warehouse, the banding facility is both accurate and very fast. Once you have programmed the memory into the system, there is a relatively small setup time for each product, and then the machine will understand the size and structure to be banded.
In some circumstances, you can add printers which will produce specific information that is required for the packaging, such as barcodes, product information and anything else that may be required.
The food and pharmaceutical industries are experienced with operating automatic banding machines because of the speed and the demands of the environment where production must be completed efficiently and effectively.
When you talk to your packaging equipment supplier, they will probably offer you a wide range of banding equipment so that you can choose the most suitable model for your location, space requirements and packaging demands.
