First Things First: Preventive Maintenance

This should be a no-brainer, but it’s always worth mentioning because it’s the single most important thing in maintaining the health of your strapping machines: CLEAN YOUR STRAPPING MACHINE! Blowing the machine out daily (yes, daily) with compressed air is a great way to reduce strap debris. Also, be sure to remove any large pieces of strap debris as often and as quickly as possible! When you’re cleaning your strapping machine, it’s important to use either a nylon bristle or even a strip of strap to remove debris. Never use metal cleaning instruments on these machines as it can cause some serious damage!

All strapping machines have a removable top panel that gives you direct access to the inner workings of the machine. This allows you to remove any stuck debris, strap, dirt from the seal and feed area. This also allows you to do a light inspection, re-lubricate if necessary, and keep the machine in tip-top shape, preventing any unnecessary repairs.
