Method for applying flat straps around packages and device for carrying out the method

摘要

The method involves carrying a belt starting end of a strap belt to a grip unit (7) based on a locking head (4) of a strapping device (1), where the head is positioned at a package (5). The belt starting end is clamped and guided around the package by the grip unit. The belt starting end is supplied to the head and is retained on the head. The strap belt is tightened up to a preset position by withdrawing into the head. The belt starting end is connected with the withdrawn strap belt, where the strap belt is separated from a supply role. An independent claim is also included for a strapping device for applying of a flat strap belt from a plastic or metal material around packages.
