The KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine is the arch-type machine designed for automatic strapping of boxes, parcels and packages with PP (polypropylene) strap, completing a full cycle of tensioning, sealing and cutting in 1,8–2,5 seconds. With a tensioning force adjustable between 25 and 700 N, a 740×600 mm pass-through frame and PLC control with an intuitive digital interface, the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine completely eliminates manual strapping and turns the end of the packaging line into a fast, uniform and unattended process — from the first box to the last in the shift.
Compatible with both three-phase 380V and single-phase 220V power supply, the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine integrates without infrastructure restrictions into any warehouse, production hall or existing packaging line. The lubrication-free system reduces maintenance to a minimum, and the automatic strap re-feed function on jams eliminates the unplanned manual interventions that halt production. Key Advantages of the KPW-8060 Automatic Strapping Machine
• Complete cycle in 1,8–2,5 seconds — the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine tensions, heat-seals and cuts the PP strap in a single automatic cycle; at 1,8 seconds per strap, an operator can process over 2.000 parcels per hour without fatigue and without variability in strap quality.
• Tensioning force 25–700 N adjustable from the panel — the automatic strapping machine covers the entire range of products, from thin cardboard boxes that require minimal tension to avoid deformation, to dense industrial packages that need a firm strap at 700 N; the tension is set once per product type from the digital panel.
• Pass-through frame 740×600 mm (W×H) — the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine accepts boxes and parcels up to 740 mm wide and up to 600 mm high; the envelope covers all standard formats in logistics and e-commerce, including large shipping boxes and flat industrial packages.
• PLC control with multi-product settings memory — the strapping parameters (tension, interval between cycles, number of straps per product) are saved in the PLC memory of the automatic strapping machine; changing the product on the line is done by selecting the saved program, without repetitive manual adjustments at each format change.
• Automatic strap re-feed on jams — the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine detects strap jams and automatically starts the re-feed cycle without operator intervention; in high-volume production, this function eliminates unplanned stops that affect the rhythm of the entire line.
• Lubrication-free system — minimal maintenance — the tensioning and cutting mechanism of the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine is designed to operate without oil or grease; the cost and frequency of maintenance operations are significantly reduced compared with lubricated-system machines.
• Dual compatibility 380V three-phase / 220V single-phase — the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine is powered from either of the two standard sources available in Romania, without transformers or adapters; installation is done directly at the existing electrical panel.
• Integration into an automatic line or standalone operation — the work table of the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine is fitted with rollers or conveyor belts for connection to a conveyor; the machine works just as efficiently as a standalone station served by a single operator.

Applications — Which Products the KPW-8060 Automatic Strapping Machine Straps
The KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine solves the universal need to secure and consolidate parcels in any industry that ships, stores or palletizes products packed in cardboard boxes, crates or rigid packages. Automatically applied PP strap replaces adhesive tape, twine or manual clips with a faster, more uniform and more secure solution for mechanical handling.
• E-commerce and distribution logistics — the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine is the final station of the packaging line in e-commerce warehouses, where boxes prepared for shipping are consolidated with one or more PP straps before palletizing and loading onto the truck; the 740×600 mm frame covers all standard shipping box formats.
• Food and beverage industry — bottle crates, can boxes, bulk food packages and any product at risk of opening during handling are strapped with the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine for safe transport; the adjustable tension protects fragile packaging without deforming it.
• Paper and print production — reams of paper, printed sheets, magazines and books grouped into packages are strapped compactly with the PP strap of the automatic strapping machine, replacing twine or adhesive tape with a cleaner, more uniform strap that is easier to cut at the destination.
• Textile and apparel industry — boxes of textile products, garment packages and orders grouped for retail are consolidated with the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine for correct presentation on delivery and easy identification of parcels on mixed pallets.
• Building materials and hardware — packages of screws, metal components, construction accessories and any product delivered in boxes are strapped with the automatic strapping machine to prevent accidental opening of the packaging during transport and forklift handling.
• Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics — boxes of pharmaceutical products, cosmetic sets and high-value parcels are strapped with minimal tension (25 N), which preserves the integrity of the premium packaging without leaving visible strap marks on the box surface.
PP Strap — The Standard Consumable of the KPW-8060 Automatic Strapping Machine
The KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine uses PP (polypropylene) strap — the standard consumable available from any packaging materials supplier in Romania, in widths of 9 and 12 mm for light and medium parcels, or 15 mm for heavy packages that require high mechanical strength during handling. The accepted thickness of 0,5–1,1 mm covers the entire range of PP straps on the local market, without imposing proprietary consumables or special formats.
The strap is joined thermally — the ends are melted and welded under pressure at the temperature of the machine's sealing head, without metal staples or auxiliary clips. The thermal joint withstands the tensile forces typical of forklift handling and leaves no dangerous metal traces when the recipient opens the parcel. How the KPW-8060 Automatic Strapping Machine Works
The work cycle of the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine is simple, fast and fully automated once the parcel is placed in the arch:
• Positioning the parcel in the arch — the operator places the box or parcel on the work table of the automatic strapping machine, centred under the strap guide arch, in the area marked on the table.
• Triggering the automatic cycle — pressing the pedal or the start button triggers the cycle; the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine sends the PP strap through the guide arch, which routes it around the parcel in less than a second.
• Tensioning to the set force — the tensioning mechanism of the automatic strapping machine tightens the strap to the force preset in the PLC (25–700 N), uniformly and reproducibly identical from one cycle to the next, regardless of which operator is running the machine.
• Thermal sealing and automatic cutting — the overlapping strap ends are melted and thermally welded by the sealing head of the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine, immediately followed by automatic cutting of the strap from the coil; the complete cycle takes 1,8–2,5 seconds.
• Releasing the parcel and the next cycle — the strapped parcel is removed from the work table of the automatic strapping machine and the process repeats immediately for the next parcel; there is no waiting time between cycles at normal operating pace.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Automatic Strapping Machine
What maximum parcel dimensions does the KPW-8060 accept?
The KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine accepts parcels up to 740 mm wide and up to 600 mm high, weighing up to 50 kg. There is no limit on the longitudinal dimension of the parcel — long boxes that exceed the work table can be strapped without problems, with the strap passing through the arch on the shorter side of the parcel. What type of PP strap is required for the KPW-8060?
The KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine uses standard PP strap 9, 12 or 15 mm wide and 0,5–1,1 mm thick — available from any packaging materials supplier in Romania. No special formats or proprietary consumables are required; any general-purpose PP strap that meets the accepted dimensions works correctly in the automatic strapping machine. Can the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine be integrated into an automatic line?
Yes. The KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine has a work table fitted with rollers or conveyor belts that connect to the adjacent conveyors in the line. The machine's PLC can receive a cycle-start signal from product sensors or from the line control system, completely eliminating the need for an operator dedicated to the strapping station in automated flows. How often does the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine need maintenance?
The lubrication-free system of the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine significantly reduces the frequency of maintenance operations compared with lubricated-mechanism models. Routine maintenance consists of periodically cleaning the sealing head and checking the strap guides — routine operations that take a few minutes without special tools and without prolonged production stops. What is the actual productivity of the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine?
At the minimum cycle speed of 1,8 seconds per strap, the KPW-8060 automatic strapping machine can theoretically apply up to 2.000 straps per hour. Practical productivity depends on the number of straps per parcel and on the speed of the operator or feeding conveyor; for boxes with a single transverse strap, a single operator served by the automatic strapping machine can process 500–800 parcels per hour without significant physical effort.
