The strapping machine specially developed by AMOVA ties coils of high-strength steels quickly and securely with only a few straps and a 6-point weld seal. Now two or three straps replace the common practice of wrapping up to 20 circumferential bands around each coil and of manually welding together the outer coil windings to prevent the high-strength steel strip from springing open. The machine is easy to operate, highly efficient and economical. The customer particularly appreciates the increase in production achieved in conjunction with the significantly improved work safety.
