1. Introduction of A85N JOINPACK automatic strapping machine

The JOINPACK A85N is an AC motor automatic strapping machine, developed to meet the diverse packaging needs of industry.

The machine can use a variety of belt gauges, support a wide tension range, and perform a fast strapping cycle.

Different from the semi-automatic strapping machine, the A85N uses a wire guide frame to bring the belt around the package without the need for the operator to pull the wire manually.

In a strapping cycle, the machine performs the following stages:

1. Feed the straps through the wire guide frame.

2. Collect the cord and stretch around the package.

3. Heat to bond the two ends of the wire.

4. Cut the wire after completing the weld.

5. Prepare the wires for the next cycle.

Thanks to its AC drive system and automatic support functions, the A85N automatic strapping machine is suitable for businesses that want to improve packaging productivity and reduce operation time.

• There is an A-85M stainless steel shell version.

2. Specifications of A85N automatic strapping machine

Note: The above parameters apply to the JOINPACK A85N model. Wire gauge, voltage, and frame size need to be confirmed according to the actual order configuration. A speed of 40 wires/minute is the speed at which the strapping cycle is performed, and does not equate to a yield of 40 bales/minute under all conditions.

3. Outstanding features of A85N automatic strapping machine

3.1. AC motor – Stable operation

The highlight of the A85N JOINPACK automatic strapping machine is the drive system that uses an AC motor.

AC motors are widely used in industrial equipment thanks to their construction suitable for the production environment and their ability to respond to repeated operating cycles.

The advantages of the AC motor system on the A85N include:

• Suitable for industrial strapping applications.

• Meets continuous strapping cycle.

• Combined with the control system to perform wire feeding, stretching and cycle completion operations.

• Convenient inspection and maintenance according to the equipment structure.

• Meet the needs of strapping a wide range of packages.

For businesses that need a fairly high-speed automatic strapping machine but do not require a Servo system, the JOINPACK A85N is an option worth considering.

3.2. Strapping speed 40 wires/min

The JOINPACK A85N achieves a strapping speed of 40 wires per minute.

This is a parameter that is suitable for production facilities and warehouses with frequent strapping needs.

The actual speed depends on:

• Package size.

• Number of straps per piece.

• Loading and unloading times.

• Strapping position layout.

• User's operating procedures.

• Operating conditions and machine configuration.

For example, if a carton needs two strapping cycles, the total processing time will include both strapping cycles and the time it takes to move or position the package.

Businesses should evaluate the productivity of the whole process to choose the right machine.

3.3. Electronic tension adjustment system

The A85N strapping machine is equipped with the Electronic Tension Control function, which supports adjusting the belt tension according to packaging requirements.

The machine has two tension bands according to the wire specification:

5mm and 6mm belts: tension between 3–30kg.

9mm, 12mm and 15mm belts: tension from 5–70kg.

For cartons that are light or easy to deform, the operator can choose a low tension level.

For packages that need to be fixed more firmly, it is possible to adjust the tension higher within the allowable limits of the machine and belt.

Proper tension adjustment helps to limit the cord from being too loose or distorting the packaging.

3.4. Supports multiple plastic strap sizes

The JOINPACK A85N can be configured using wire gauges:

• 5mm straps.

• 6mm straps.

• 9mm straps.

• 12mm straps.

• 15mm straps.

The ability to support multiple wire sizes helps businesses choose the right packaging specifications for product characteristics.

5mm and 6mm wires are often considered for lightweight packages.

9mm, 12mm, and 15mm wires can be selected for applications that require larger wire specifications.

However, the selection needs to be based on the bale weight, tension, wire strength, and machine configuration.

Note: The wire size needs to be confirmed when ordering. It is not recommended to change to another wire gauge without checking the wire feeder, guide and welding mechanism.

3.5. 650×500mm auto wire guide frame

The A85N adopts a standard 650 × 500mm conductor frame.

The wire guide frame helps the machine automatically loop the wire around the package, reducing manual wire threading.

For larger size packages, JOINPACK offers a wire guide frame option with other sizes.

When choosing a frame size, businesses need to determine:

• The largest width of the package.

• The maximum height of the package.

• The required clearance between the package and the frame.

• Where the straps need to be closed.

• Methods of loading and taking out goods.

3.6. Looping Ejector Fault Looping Processor

The A85N is equipped with a Looping Ejector function.

This system supports the handling of the loop in situations where problems arise related to the strapping cycle.

The feature helps to reduce the manual handling of faulty wires in cases that are suitable for the operating mechanism of the machine.

For businesses that use the machine regularly, the ability to handle faulty loops can contribute to limiting production interruption time.

3.7. Short Feeding Sensor

The machine is equipped with a Short Feeding Sensor, which helps detect the condition that the belt is not sufficiently fed as required.

During the automatic strapping process, if the wire does not fully discharge the frame, the machine may not be able to perform the next cycle.

The wire-level sensor lacks support for the system to recognize abnormal status for processing according to the control program.

This is a useful feature for strapping applications with high operating frequencies.

3.8. Coil End Eject System

The A85N is equipped with the Coil End Eject System function, which supports the processing of the remaining wire when the winding ends.

This feature reduces the handling of coil end wires when changing materials.

For businesses that use the machine continuously, the convenient handling of the coil end wire reduces the preparation time between coil changes.

3.9. Waist Auto Loading System

JOINPACK A85N is equipped with Waist Auto Loading System function.

This system supports the process of feeding belts into the machine, reducing manual wire feeding.

This is a feature that is suitable for businesses that need to operate the machine frequently and want to reduce the preparation time when changing the coils.

3.10. Ironbug-free heat sealing system

The A85N uses the Heating Element, which is a heating rod, to bond the two ends of the plastic straps.

During the strapping process, the heating rod heats the contact area of the two ends of the wire, and then the pressing mechanism creates a joint.

The heat welding method does not require the use of bugs or metal belt buckles.

In order to maintain the quality of the weld, it is necessary to use the wire correctly and regularly check the heat rod, pressing mechanism and related parts.

4. Upgrade options on the A85N strapping machine

In addition to the standard features, JOINPACK offers several options for the A85N.

4.1. Top Press

The Top Press – P option adds a pressing mechanism above the package.

The press can assist in holding or stabilizing the bale during strapping, depending on the equipment configuration.

This option is suitable for consideration for products that need to be fixed in place when tightening.

4.2. Other size wire conductor frames

In addition to the standard 650 × 500mm frame, the A85N can be selected with other frame sizes.

The selection should be based on the actual package size and packaging requirements.

4.3. A-85M stainless steel shell version

JOINPACK offers the A-85M version with stainless steel housing.

This version is suitable for consideration in environments with unique requirements for case materials.

Businesses need to confirm the configuration and conditions of use before placing an order.
