Menzies Distribution has
place additional orders for
bespoke strapping equipment
from Mosca which is
designed to bundle magazines
picked and stacked using the
specialist HS News System.

Magazines of various sizes,
including some with covermounted
gifts, are picked
into ‘carrier baskets’ which
travel along the broadside of
the machine. These are then
automatically positioned,
contents swept into position
and the stack stabilised in
readiness for strapping.

To enhance stack stability
once the baskets are opened,
Mosca devised a purposebuilt,
close-coupled machine
that quickly adds a stabilising
longitudinal strap before the
bundle is conveyed to a
standard machine.

There can be one or two
output lines on each packing
system. A combination of
two Mosca in-line strappers
is used in conjunction with
each HS output line: the
bespoke Mosca RO-TR-4-KL
and the standard RO-TR-I-5,
both of which are capable of
meeting the high speeds
required. This combination
can also be used to strap tote
boxes, boosting flexibility.
