EAM-Mosca introduces the ROMS-6H-Sonixs that eliminates the restrictions in strap type, speed and strap pattern capability in horizontal strapping systems.
Horizontally placed straps are used to hold wrappers on larger products, and to prevent stacked product from becoming unstable during transport or storage.
Combined with vertical straps or film wrap to tie the product to the pallet, horizontal straps create a secure unit, for local or long-haul transport.
Typical markets include large boxed household items such as furniture and kitchen cabinets; layered products including dairy items in totes; and boxed produce like avocados and apples.
Often, horizontal straps are applied manually.
A fully automatic option, the ROMS-6H can apply three straps on up to 180 pallet loads per hour.
It is offered in four track sizes from 1000 mm x 1000 mm to 1400 mm x 1400 mm.
Recommended maximum package dimensions are 200 mm less than the track opening to allow clearance for transport and load variability.
ROMS-6H can be built in heights appropriate for each application with a maximum load height of 2.3 m and a minimum of 200 mm, including pallet.
The system can automatically strap a variety of product configurations with 10 programmable strapping settings including up to 10 strap positions each.
In addition, the operator can set up individual load patterns via the touch panel as needed.
The machine has the Mosca Standard 6 Sealer with proprietary Sonixs ultra-sonic sealing technology.
Sonixs has no warm up requirement, works equally well with polypropylene or polyester strapping, senses sealing conditions and adjusts parameters automatically on each cycle.
The Standard 6 Series includes Mosca’s closed track system that brings unparalleled precision and control of strap feeding and tensioning to yield exceptional cycle reliability, a key requirement of successful automated packaging systems.
The sealing head and strap track indexes up 350 mm to meet the side of the load to achieve the tightest possible straps.
Combined with the optional electrically powered strap guide, tight, precisely positioned straps are assured on every cycle.
While the standard machine offers a fixed position sealing head, an option is offered for a movable frame that indexes the head and track from a retracted position and moves it into contact with the product to assure consistently tight straps regardless of variation in load positioning.
For high production operations, a high-speed indexing option is available. In addition, an electrically powered Strap Guide option assures near perfect strap positioning on every cycle.
Without the guide, strap positioning is accurate to within +/-2 inches.
