Abstract: A strapping reclaimer includes a strapping feeder. There is a strapping joining station adjacent the feeder. A strapping reeling apparatus is adjacent the strapping joining station. Preferably the feeder includes a strapping straightener. The strapping joining station may include a pair of spaced-apart clamps. Preferably there is a member with a strapping receiving surface extending between the clamps. The member may have two portions mounted for moving apart to stretch joined lengths of strapping or to adjust gaps or degrees of overlapping therebetween. Strapping is reclaimed by feeding lengths of strapping successively to the work area. Adjacent lengths of strapping are joined together. The joined together lengths of strapping are then wound onto a reel.
