1. Introduction of ES104L JOINPACK strapping machine

JOINPACK ES104L belongs to the series of semi-automatic strapping machines using AC motors, which are designed with a low table top and an open frame structure.

The key difference of this model is the table height of 450mm, while many conventional semi-automatic strapping machines have a table height of about 780mm.

Thanks to the low table design, the operator can load large, heavy packages on the machine more conveniently, reducing the height that needs to be lifted compared to standard tabletop units.

The machine works on a semi-automatic principle: the operator places the package on the table, pulls the strap around the package, and puts the end of the wire in the receiving position. The machine then performs a cycle of stretching, heat welding, and wire cutting.

The ES104L is suitable for packaging facilities that need to handle heavy packages but still want to use a simple, easy-to-operate semi-automatic strapping system.

2. ES104L strapping machine specifications

Note: The time of 2.5 seconds is the time to perform the strapping cycle of the machine, excluding manual threading. The power supply and coil core diameter need to be confirmed according to the actual configuration when ordering.

3. Outstanding features of ES104L strapping machine

3.1. 450mm low table design – Suitable for strapping heavy packages

The most prominent feature of the ES104L strapping machine is the low tabletop design of only 450mm.

For packages that are heavy or bulky in size, loading them on a standard machine table can be difficult for the operator.

The ES104L helps reduce the height of the bale lift, creating more favorable conditions when strapping products such as:

• Large carton.

• Heavy paper bales.

• Barreled industrial products.

• The packages are bulky in size.

• The goods need to be placed in a low position during the packaging process.

The low table design improves the convenience of operation, but it does not mean that the machine can withstand all levels of load.

For particularly heavy packages, it is necessary to confirm the allowable load capacity of the countertop and use appropriate lifting equipment.

3.2. Open Cabinet Structure

The ES104L is designed with an open frame structure, which makes it convenient to observe and access the internal components.

The advantages of the open frame include:

• Easy to observe the drive system.

• Convenient to clean the belt dust.

• Supports testing rollers and wire paths.

• Easy access to welding and cutting mechanisms.

• It is convenient to check the mechanical parts when servicing.

This is a characteristic that is suitable for production workshops that need to clean and maintain strapping machines regularly.

3.3. AC motor combined with electromagnetic clutch

The machine adopts AC motor and electromagnetic clutch drive mechanism.

This system supports the control of the drive process in the strapping cycle, coordinating wire feeding, stretching, heat welding and wire cutting operations.

JOINPACK developed the ES104L series with a drive mechanism aimed at simple operation and reasonable maintenance costs.

3.4. Strapping speed 2.5 seconds/cycle

The ES104L has a cycle time of approximately 2.5 seconds per belt.

This speed is suitable for many common industrial strapping applications.

Actual productivity depends on the bale size, the number of straps per bale, the method of loading the goods on the table, and the operator's speed of operation.

For heavy packages, the time to order and move the goods can take up the majority of the total packaging time.

3.5. Adjustable tension from 15–45kg

The ES104L JOINPACK strapping machine has a tension range of 15–45kg, allowing the operator to choose the right tightening level for each type of package.

For cartons that are easy to deform, low tension can be used to limit packaging dents.

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

It should be noted that the low table design is for handling heavy packages, which does not mean that the tension of the ES104L is higher than that of the ES103 or ES104 series.

3.6. Use 9mm, 12mm and 15.5mm plastic straps

The machine supports wire gauges:

• 9mm plastic straps.

• 12mm plastic straps.

• 15.5mm plastic straps.

The ability to adjust the wire size helps businesses choose packaging materials according to product characteristics.

When changing the wire gauge, it is necessary to adjust the guidance system and check the wire feeding capacity to ensure stable operation.

3.7. Ironbug-free heat sealing technology

The ES104L uses a heating rod (Heating Element) to bond the two ends of the plastic strap.

During the welding cycle, the heat bar heats the contact area between the two layers of wire, and then the pressing mechanism creates a joint.

This method does not require the use of bugs or metal belt buckles.

The quality of the weld depends on the condition of the heating rod, the pressure, the cooling time and the quality of the belt.

3.8. Adjusting the Weld Cooling Time

The JOINPACK ES104L features Adhesion Cooling Adjustable, which allows for adjustment of the weld cooling process.

After the two ends of the wire are heated and pressed, the welding area needs time to stabilize before bearing the load.

The ability to adjust the cooling time helps the operator to set the right welding conditions for the wire type and packaging application.

This is a useful feature when businesses use multiple belt specifications.

3.9. Energy-saving motor shut-off function

The machine is equipped with the Motor Shut Off for Energy Saving function.

This feature helps reduce the time the motor runs unnecessarily when the machine is in standby state.

For packaging facilities that have breaks between cycles, this function helps optimize power usage.

3.10. Microprocessor control board

ES104L uses PCB Control Microprocessor system.

The microprocessor control board takes care of the coordination of the machine's operations in the strapping cycle.

When a machine has a fault related to the operating cycle, the technician needs to check both the mechanical system, switches, and control signals before concluding that the board is broken.

4. What belts does the ES104L strapping machine use?

The ES104L supports 9mm, 12mm, and 15.5mm wide plastic straps.

In conventional semi-automatic strapping applications, PP strapping is a commonly used type of material.

Straps PP 9mm

The 9mm PP wire is usually suitable for small cartons, lightweight packages, and products that do not require large tightening forces.

12mm PP straps

The ES104L strapping machine uses 12mm PP wire suitable for a wide range of strapping applications, cartons, bales, and industrial goods.

This is one of the common wire specifications at production facilities and logistics.

15.5mm PP straps

The 15.5mm PP wire is suitable for packages that require a larger width of wire.

However, when strapping heavy packages, it is necessary to check the tensile strength of the rope and the appropriate tension. The rope should not be selected based solely on the width.

T-PACK support belt advice PP suitable for the ES104L semi-automatic strapping machine.

The basic operation process includes:

Step 1: Check the power supply, belts, and working condition of the machine.

Step 2: Insert the suitable belt coil into the coil holder.

Step 3: Route the wire through the guide system and feed the wire according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 4: Adjust the tension to suit the package.

Step 5: Bring the package to a 450mm low table using the appropriate lifting method.

Step 6: Pull the straps around the package.

Step 7: Insert the end of the cord into the cord receiving position to activate the strapping cycle.

Step 8: Wait for the machine to complete the process of tightening, heat welding, and cutting the wire.

Step 9: Check the quality of the weld and remove the package from the machine table.

Safety notes: Do not put your hands on the pulling mechanism, cutters, or heating elements while the machine is operating. Disconnect the power supply and wait for the heating rod to cool down before servicing.
