Steel Strapping Head
Improved productivity
Easily integrated into existing equipment and OEM systems,
Signode’s innovative M247 modular steel strapping head provides
reliable performance and reduced downtime for heavy-duty steel
strapping applications.
Simplified operation and maintenance
Interchangeable modular components can be quickly removed and
replaced for routine maintenance with no need for special handling
equipment. Modules can be replaced inline in seconds by your
own service personnel, eliminating long-term service disruptions
and minimizing operator exposure to active machinery. The M247
features a simple design with few moving parts and highly durable
wear parts, making it far more cost efficient to maintain than
traditional steel strapping heads.
From circumferential coils
to bar and tube bundles, the
M247 is ideal for heavy-duty
applications.
The M247’s innovative all-electric design provides consistently
high tension levels with repeatable cycle times. Built with one
main electrical outlet, it eliminates multiple power sources to offer
unparalleled reliability and performance.
Streamlined troubleshooting
The M247 provides built-in diagnostic information to provide
ongoing functional assessments that help to reduce downtime and
improve operation.
