An integrated stacker for positioning materials in a stack, compressing th e stack and positioning and sealing a strap onto itself around the stacked and compressed materials includes a frame, a conveyor mounted to the frame, and a stacking assembly mounted to the frame. The stacking assembly includes a fee d for feeding the materials onto the stack. The stacker further includes aligning arms operably connected to the frame for aligning the materials on the stack, a compression section mounted to the frame for compressing the stack of materials and a strapper section mounted to the frame. The strapper section includes a strap chute fo r conveying the strap around the compressed stack of material, a feed head for tensioning the strap and a welding head for sealing the strap material onto itself. The strap chute defines a strap path. The feed head, welding head and strap chut e are mounted to a bracket that is mounted to the frame along a portion of the str ap path. The feed head and the welding head are mounted to the bracket independent of each other and are independently installable onto and removable from the bracket.
