DOUBLE STRAP DISPENSER INCREASES USABILITY AND UPTIME
26 February 2016
Strapping equipment specialist Mosca has added a fully automated double strap dispenser to its SoniXs TR-6 Base and Pro strapping machines to help companies maximise throughput.

Both models now feature two strap coils, so when one coil is empty the machine automatically picks up the second coil and changes the strap. This enables production to continue and allows operators to change the empty coil without stopping the machine.
In addition, for cross-strapping applications where two identical machines are installed at an angle, Mosca has introduced a redesigned angle pusher which lines up and guides packages between the two machines. This now features a CE marking from the factory without additional safety devices, making it more accessible for the operator. Actuators are designed to ensure the net energy is sufficient for the machine’s optimal performance without posing a danger to the operator.
The SoniXs TR-6 models are suitable for operations that demand high availability and process safety, including corrugated producers, wholesalers, printing companies, logistics, and food and pharmaceutical industries.
The entry-level Base model features simple controls and an intuitive machine interface, while the Pro model serves as a high-end machine, capable of meeting the standards of Industry 4.0, with specialised B&R controls and an HMI colour touch panel. The Pro version also offers an option to pre-program strapping formulas for fully automated solutions across a wide variety of applications. The machine is network-compatible, enabling Mosca to carry out online maintenance remotely.
Both machines feature Mosca’s energy-saving ultrasonic technology, SoniXs, as well as the Standard-6 strap path, which is easily accessible and can be dismantled without the use of tools for easy maintenance. All core components are directly accessible, which means maintenance and cleaning can be quickly carried out by hand.
