Innovative Solution to Bundle Cathodes – Signode Strapping Heads

Signode has developed a fully automatic strapping machine tailored for Tapered Cathode bundles. 

To address the unique challenge of tapered cathode bundles produced, Signode designed and developed a machine which features a bidirectional platen that:

  • Adjusts to the tapering of the bundle
  • Provides optimal strap tension
  • Maintains pack integrity during and after strapping

This strapping machine uses Signode’s M410NE Notch electric motor Strapping head. This technology is available for all M400 & M410 versions with Seal and Seal-less strapping heads. This cutting-edge solution revolutionizes the way businesses operate.



Cathode Bundling Solution

This solution was alongside the M410NE strapping head which has the following features:

  • Air Consumption - M410NE notch electric motor head eliminates air consumption and delicate air control compared to M410 pneumatic strapping head. Conventional stable air cylinder is still used for face gate, strap sealing and cutting operation.
  • Energy Consumption – Compared to pneumatic motor, electric motors reduces electricity consumption.
  • Environment Friendly - Reduces air pollution caused by air mist.
  • Efficient Startup - Eliminates the need to warmup and cooling if there is change in outside air temperature.
  • Noise pollution – Reduced noise level / silent operation.
  • Operating expenditure - Consistent Strap feed enables fine adjustment of strap overlap and savings in strap consumption.
  • Capital expenditure – It comes at the same Price as the conventional M410 pneumatic Strapping Head.
