Signode Unveils Cutting-Edge Packing Line for Global Leader of Eco-Friendly Composite Decking Boards

Signode has recently built a fully automatic Packing Line for one of the world's largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking boards in North America.

The packing line includes five headed modular strapping heads for plastic strapping working synchronously with added features that include:
  • Integrated top and bottom edge protector applicator - edge protectors or corner protectors are applied to protect the Strap from sharp edges of the bundle to maintain load integrity and uniformly distribute the tension.
  • Bottom batten feeder - bottom batten with strap is applied for better handling of the bundle.
  • Sandwich conveying system with Rollers and Chain.
  • Fully Electric Lifting mechanism.
Unparalleled package performance: The Z30 utilizes high-strength Tenax® polyester strapping which combines the performance properties of steel with elongation and recovery characteristics to keep straps tight and absorb impacts.
  • Remote Load operation: A fully modular design allows operators to load strap remotely, minimizing their exposure to the strapping area. with Improved Safety : A fully modular design allows operators to load strap remotely, minimizing their exposure to the strapping area.
  • Minimizes Cost: Designed with highly durable & minimal moving parts which improves equipment's uptime. These strapping head modules are far more cost efficient to maintain than any other strapping heads. Z30 strapping heads feature a simple design with no belts, pulleys or adjustments making them the most cost efficient to maintain.
  • Simplifies Maintenance: The Z30’s innovative all-electric modular design consists of three separate modules for feeding, sealing, and tensioning. All three modules can be removed without the use of special equipment, minimizing maintenance downtime.
  • Improves Productivity: Designed for high speed and high-tension strapping application.
  • Easy Integration: Compact footprint.
