Abstract: Strapping goods with a strap is provided by using a strap guide frame to which the strap is fed to form a loop around the goods. The strap guide frame has an upper horizontal section which is formed by a horizontally displaceable and height-adjustable lance which can be displaced from a strapping position closing the strap guide frame into an opening position outside the strap guide frame. A strapping device having a strap guide frame operates reliably with an adjustable height of the displaceable upper horizontal portion of the strap guide frame. A first vertical section of the strap guide frame has a plurality of swivel segments arranged one above the other, and in that the lance is coupled to a vertically acting displacement drive configured to align the lance with one of the swivel segments prior to horizontal insertion into the strapping position.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for strapping objects with a flat strap, consisting of a strap guide frame, a cover frame and an ejector. The strap guide frame has a flat strap channel that is open on a narrow side and the cover frame can be moved between a closed position and an open position relative to the strap guide frame. In the closed position, it covers the narrow side of the strap channel and in the open position, there is a gap. From a second side surface opposite of the open, narrow side, the ejector protrudes into the strap channel.

Abstract: A strapping machine may include a strap guidance frame having a strap guidance channel and a plurality of closure elements, which may be arranged in a distributed manner over the length of the channel and may be movable from a position closing the channel into a position opening the channel. The closure elements may be fixable in the position closing the channel by means of a closure force that is generated by a magnetic closure device. The wear of the closing elements of the strapping machine may be reduced compared to known strapping machines. The magnetic closure device may have a displacement means for displacing at least part of the magnetic closure device so that the closure force is cancelled or an opening force directed counter to the closure force is generated.

Abstract: An extruded strap is produced of a material containing renewable raw materials and the ends of which strap can be welded together. A method for producing the extruded strap and a method for strapping an article using the extruded strap are also provided.

Abstract: Described is a device for strapping packages having a tape supply for a tape-like strapping means, a tape guide channel for passage of the strapping means and a sealing unit for sealing the loop formed by the strapping means and surrounding the package, the tape guide channel being arranged on a frame that consists of two curved frame parts, which are movable out of a rest position below a supporting surface for the packages into a closed position above the supporting surface and back. Such an arrangement simplifies the drive and the guide for the frame parts. This is achieved since each of the two frame parts is guided moveably along its curved centerline below the supporting surface by at least one guiding device.

Abstract: The invention is a machine for tying up or hooping packing units with an elongated strip of binding material, such as bondable plastic. During operation of the machine, the strip is drawn from a take-up device of a supply roller through a strip conveyor device and a strip guide, then is wound around the packing unit as a loop. The loop is tightened by means of a tensioning assembly comprising a tension roller and a pressing device which presses the strip against the tension roller, such that the loop is placed under tension. Once the packing unit is tightly secured, the strip is sealed by means of a sealing device. The present hoop-casing machine permits a high tension force to be exerted on the strip loop to be sealed. For this purpose, the tension roller comprises on its peripheral surface a high friction surface. At least one rejecter is provided for preventing excess wear on the high friction surface during the tensioning step.
