Roofing tiles are transported on pallets. A lift carries them onto the roof in bundles of about 7 pieces. If required, columns are formed in order to optimise cohesion on the pallet. There is a lot of work for automatic strapping machines in the roofing industry.
Especially high working speeds and reliability are expected of these automatic strapping machines. The mobile strapping device allows for strapping the stacks and simultaneously transporting them on the belt. A second head is on standby and can be put into operation manually or automatically if the first one fails.Should the normal method of stacking not suffice the packaged tiles can be tied into stacks up to 100 cm in length. A number of packs are arranged into stacks and then strapped together under high tension. Polyester strap is recommended.
