Inline Automatic PP Strapping Machine: An Inline System Connected by Transfer Conveyor

A Box Production Line with Uninterrupted Flow Through Transfer Conveyor Connection

Corrugated box production runs through printing, die-cutting, and gluing before continuing to the bundling process that straps the finished box bundles into shipping units. If this final stage remains dependent on manual labor or standalone equipment, the flow breaks at the bundling section no matter how fast the upstream processes are. By connecting the strapping process directly to the upstream and downstream lines with a transfer conveyor, you can create an uninterrupted flow in which box bundles ride in on the conveyor, get strapped, and pass straight out to the shipping line.

Side Feed (S) and Top Feed (T): The Difference in Connection Method

The inline automatic PP strapping machine AMB 1500 comes in two types depending on the feed method. The S model uses side feed, connecting inline directly to the side of the existing production conveyor to receive and strap box bundles without stopping the line. The T model uses top feed, suited to sites that require standalone placement or a separate bundling station. You can choose the connection method that best fits your line structure and installation space.

The Line Doesn't Stop Even When Specifications Change

At high-mix, low-volume production sites, box specifications change frequently. With manual bundling equipment, the operator must readjust the width and position every time the specification changes, putting the entire line on standby. With the AMB 1500, simply selecting the specification on the touch panel lets the 9-axis full servo set itself up automatically, saving 10 to 30 minutes compared to manual operation. When changeover time shrinks, the standby time of the inline-connected upstream and downstream processes disappears as well.

High-Speed Processing of 28 Cycles per Minute Keeps Pace with Upstream Speed

When connecting upstream and downstream processes, the most important thing is that the bundling section does not become a bottleneck. The AMB 1500 handles high-speed bundling at 28 cycles per minute uniformly through tension servo control, taking in rapidly flowing box bundles without congestion. Because tension is kept consistent, bundle quality stays steady across every bundle, allowing stable handover to the automatic shipping line.

An Uninterrupted Line Is Completed by Durability

Once configured, an inline connection presupposes long-term, uninterrupted operation. The AMB 1500 uses servo direct drive with no air leakage or cylinder wear found in pneumatic systems, so minor breakdowns are rare and it operates reliably even on continuous-operation lines. Because the manufacturer's own engineers, who designed and built the machine, take responsibility all the way through after-sales service, you can entrust the entire inline system—bound together with your upstream and downstream processes—with complete confidence.
