STRAPPING MACHINE WITH TWISTED BELT DRIVE

摘要

A strapping machine having an inertial rotating system allowing for strappin g materials to be continually fed to the feed wheel of the device is provided. The inertial rotating system allows the strapping machine to continue to feed strapping material such tha t loops of excess material are not generated upon the cessation of pull force on the strapping material The inertial rotating system includes a twisted belt allowing the motor shaft to be place d approximately perpendicular to the pulley attached to the reel of strapping material such that the pulley and strap may be housed within the housing of the strapping machine. The use of a twisted belt allows for the use of a motor having a single drive shaft, thus simplifying the motor used in the strapping machine. The inertial rotating system further provides a means to rewind and recover strapping material from the strapping machine.
