Strapack's new affordable JK-5 is designed to bring the productivity, speed, and ergonomics of arch strapping machines to those who have wanted an arch machine but have not been able to justify the cost.

Designed to bring the productivity, speed, and ergonomics to small/medium size packagers

With 110 Volt power supply, parts- and labor-free strap width adjustment from 5mm to 5/8", up to 27 strap per minute speed, auto re-feed, loop ejection, a patented strap dispensing system, and small footprint, the JK-5 can be used virtually anywhere.

At an affordable price, UPS & FedEx shippers, first class mailers, small to medium size manufacturing concerns, and those customers that must have a strapping machine at multiple workstations, can afford to own the JK-5.

The RQ-8IR2 is compact, with the coil located inside the machine. It takes up the space of a string tyer. The RQ-8IR2 is designed for graphic arts, magazine and newspaper distribution and the direct mail industry. It runs inexpensive 5mm, 6mm or 9mm strapping.

A programmable photocell leaves both of the operator's hands free

Mail flats easily fit into the 650mm (27") wide by 400mm (16") high arch. The angled sides of the RQ-8IR2 arch support the sides of mail trays during strapping.

With the addition of a programmable photocell, the operator is free to use both hands on the package and can apply one or two straps without using a hand switch or foot pedal.

The RQ-8 is the most dependable strapping machine yet developed. Its innovative design has been shown to be the most reliable general-purpose strapping machine on the market.

It features easy strap loading, auto re-feed and loop ejection, lubrication free operation and safe dual tensioning. The RQ-8 has the reputation as having the lowest maintenance costs of any strapping machine available.

A wide range of options are available to customize the RQ-8 strapping machines to meet the needs of your application.

Reliability, speed, ease of operation, innovative design, and low maintenance costs make the RQ-8 the most cost effective machine available today.

The side-seal model RQ-8Y adapts easily to conveyorized automated packaging systems. The compact design of the arch requires only a 76mm or 3" gap in the conveyor. It is easy to slide the RQ-8Y out of the conveyor system when service is required.

Several options are available to make it easy to integrate the RQ-8Y into a conveyor system. An end of cycle interlock signals the conveyor system to restart. Out of strap or cycle error signals warn that the strapping machine requires operator attention.

The RQ-8Y is ideal for heavy products; the weight of the product is on the conveyor, not on the strapping machine. In applications where dirt and dust is a factor, the side-mounted head is also ideal.

In the moisture-laden environments of poultry, meat and seafood processing the corrosion free AQ-7M is the most durable strapping machine available.

All the parts on the AQ-7M are made of stainless steel or waterproof materials. The fully enclosed cabinet protects the components from water and washdown spray. The bottom of the cabinet is reinforced to provide extra protection where moisture exposure is greatest. An internal heat lamp assists in evaporating whatever moisture accumulates inside the machine. The sealing head is side mounted to protect it from moisture and residue.

The AQ-7M can strap boxes as small as 80mm or 3 1/8" high. The roller table height is adjustable and can be removed to fit the AQ-7M into an existing conveyor system.

Tension arm system on the AQ-7M assures positive and accurate tensioning of damp strapping.
