In recent years, tremendous developments have been seen in the Flexible Intermediate Bulk

Container (FIBC) market, driven by the need for bulk packaging solutions that are durable,

safe, and efficient. Armstrong created the Strapex Handle Wrapping Machine, one of the

state-of-the-art inventions revolutionizing this sector. By strengthening and optimizing the

functioning of bag handles, this cutting-edge machinery has wholly changed how FIBCs are

manufactured, thus raising the caliber and usefulness of bulk bags.

The Value of Robust Handles in FIBC Production

FIBCs, called big bags, bulk bags, or jumbo bags, are made to carry and hold heavy loads of

goods like building supplies, food items, chemicals, and medications. These bags' handles

are essential to guaranteeing secure and effective handling during lifting, moving, and

storing. Financial losses, spilled materials, and accidents might result from weak or not

securely fastened handles.

Manufacturers have been investigating methods to strengthen the FIBC handles to make

them more durable and dependable in addressing these issues. In this sense, Armstrong's

Strapex Handle Wrapping Machine has been a game-changer, providing an accurate,

automated way to improve the robustness and longevity of FIBC handles.

The Working of the Strapex Handle Wrapping Machine

By covering the handles of FIBCs with polypropylene (PP) fabric, Armstrong's Strapex

Handle Wrapping Machine significantly increases these containers' lifting capacity and

transportability. This machine is perfect for 1 or 2 Loop Big Bags (Jumbo Bags, Bulk Bags,

Container Bags, FIBCs). Here's a detailed rundown of how the machine works:

1. Fabric Positioning: When the machine is set up, the wrapping cloth is ready to be

wrapped around the handles.

2. Close-fitting Packaging: The machine ensures a secure and uniform application by

securely wrapping the fabric around the handles using a pneumatic mechanism.

3. Cutting and Stitching: A mobile sewing machine and a knife are used to stitch the

cloth and cut away any extra material simultaneously. The automatic thread chain

cutting technology cuts the thread 4-5 cm away from the fabric to provide a clean

finish.

4. Go Back to Your Position at Home: The sewing machine and knife return to their

starting positions when the wrapping is finished and prepared for the subsequent

handle.

Advantages and Features of the Wrapping Machine with Straps

The Strapex Handle Wrapping Machine is an indispensable tool in producing FIBCs since it

provides several important features and advantages.

● Automated Feeding and Pulling of Fabric: By eliminating manual labor and

boosting efficiency, the machine's automated handle wrapping fabric feeding and

pulling system guarantees consistent application.

● Head for Chain Stitch Sewing, Upper and Lower Feed: Because of this feature,

the cloth may be stitched precisely, guaranteeing it is firmly fastened to the handles.

● Motions Controlled by Inverters and Timer-Controlled Tasks: These

sophisticated controls increase The machine's efficiency, allowing quicker production

cycles and reduced downtime.

● Automated Thread Chain Cutting: The technique guarantees a neat and effective

finish after sewing.

● Small and Simple to Use: Operators need less training because of the machine's

easy integration into current production lines, compact design, and user-friendly

interface.

● Improved dependability and safety: The equipment lowers the possibility of human

error by automating the handle wrapping process, guaranteeing consistently

excellent outcomes and increased worker safety.

Effects on the FIBC Sector

Armstrong's invention of the Strapex Handle Wrapping Machine significantly affected the

FIBC manufacturing sector. Manufacturers can produce more muscular, dependable FIBCs

that adhere to strict safety regulations by automating and optimizing the handle wrapping

process. This improves the bags' general quality and increases client pleasure and

confidence.

Furthermore, producers benefit from the Strapex Handle Wrapping Machine's enhanced

productivity and decreased labor expenses. These savings may be distributed to consumers

or put back into raising manufacturing standards and diversifying the product range.

Conclusion

Armstrong's Strapex Handle Wrapping Machine is a noteworthy advancement in FIBC

manufacturing technology. It is an essential tool for producers trying to remain competitive in

a challenging market because of its capacity to automate the handle wrapping process,

improve the strength and longevity of handles, and increase overall production efficiency.

Innovations such as the Strapex Handle Wrapping Machine will be essential in defining the

future of bulk packaging solutions as the industry develops, guaranteeing more affordable,

dependable, and safe products for consumers across the globe.
