Z-20 Strapping System Reduces
Costs Associated with Lumber
and Panel Packaging

GLENVIEW, ILLINOIS — Designed to lower the overall packaging costs associated with lumber and panel packaging, Signode Packaging Systems introduces the innovative Z-20 strapping system. Engineered with a number of cost and timesaving features to facilitate easier maintenance and operation, the Z-20 requires minimal maintenance, maximizing overall productivity.

The Z-20 features a lightweight, modular design with separate tensioning and sealing heads. The heads, weighing less than 60 lbs. each, are easy to access and remove, without requiring tools or special handling equipment. When utilizing a spare head during routine maintenance, downtime can be limited to less than three minutes.

Along with the savings in maintenance and labor costs, the Z-20 also reduces material costs. The system cuts strap at the joint, eliminating strap waste. Additional features include fewer moving parts, more durable wear parts and no belts, pulleys or adjustments.

The Z-20 is easily retrofitted to previously installed systems and competitive strapping machines.

Signode Packaging Systems is a multinational manufacturer and supplier of plastic and steel strapping, stretch film, pressure sensitive carton sealing tape and the application equipment and accessory products for each.
