What it does on the floor is speed up your carton line—runs at 1.1 seconds per strap, so you're looking at roughly 55-60 straps a minute depending on box size, and double-bundle tightness adjustment means you can dial in exactly 10N for fragile loads or crank it to 400N for heavy stacks without swapping anything.
The Q80 series handles PP band from 0.35 to 0.65mm thick—that thin stuff saves you about 20% on consumables vs standard 0.6mm, and it's got a 500W motor on 220V 50Hz, weight's 140kg, table height is 750-800mm (we usually stock 600x500mm arch but you can go up to 1250x500mm if your boxes are long).
It's better than most entry-level machines for mixed runs—the PCB control (we can swap it for PLC if you're running integrated lines) keeps temp constant and counts straps, but it's not built for wet environments or heavy dust, so skip it if your floor's got standing water.
Most buyers go with the 12mm band width for standard cartons; teh 9mm option is tighter tolerance (0.35-0.5mm band only) but you'll get more breaks if your boxes are uneven. Actually, the one thing nobody asks about is the table height—140kg machine means you need at least two guys to move it, so plan your floor layout first.
We usually have stock on 600x500mm and 800x600mm arches, lead time is about 20 days or so for custom sizes, and the CE cert covers standerd configs—if you need stainlss frame (304) it adds about 4 weeks and bumps the weight by 15kg or so.
Our standard MOQ is 1 unit, so you can order just one to start. For bulk orders of 10 or more, we can offer a discounted price.
Custom arch sizes usually take 15-20 working days from order confirmation. Standard arch sizes ship in 5-7 days if in stock.
Yes, the machine is CE certified, and we include a declaration of conformity with shipment. We can also provide a material test report for the carbon steel frame on request.
No, the Q80 is designed specifically for PP strapping only. Using PET could damage the tension mechanism and void the warranty.
Keep it in a dry, indoor environment at 5-40°C, cover it to prevent dust buildup, and run a few test straps every 3 months to keep the components lubricated.
