PAC Strapping Products, a distributor in the strapping and packaging industry, announces the PSS733 integrated with automatic corner board applicators, engineered to provide reliable pallet protection and automated load stabilization for high-throughput shipping operations. Designed to enhance packaging efficiency while reducing manual labor requirements, the system combines automated corner board placement with precision strapping to create secure, damage-resistant palletized loads.
The integrated solution utilizes automated corner board applicators to position protective corner boards along the vertical or horizontal edges of palletized products prior to the strapping cycle. By reinforcing vulnerable pallet corners and edges, the system helps prevent crushing, splintering, denting, and compression damage during handling, stacking, and transportation. The corner boards also help distribute strap tension evenly across the load to maintain package integrity.
Once the corner boards are applied, the PSS733 automatically tensions and seals straps around the load to create a stable, reinforced shipping unit. Together, the corner boards and strapping help prevent shifting or toppling during transit, making the system especially valuable for palletized products requiring consistent load containment and edge protection.
The automated system addresses common packaging and shipping challenges associated with manual pallet protection methods. Automated corner board placement and strapping improve throughput by reducing labor-intensive hand application processes while delivering more consistent results from pallet to pallet. Uniform strap tension and precise corner board positioning also help improve containment strength and reduce the risks associated with improperly secured loads.
Designed with practical automation in mind, the PSS733 with automatic corner board applicators incorporates synchronized workflow functionality that coordinates corner board placement directly with the strapping cycle. Integrated load detection sensors automatically trigger corner board placement only when a pallet is present, while alignment sensors verify proper board positioning before the strapping cycle starts to help reduce material waste and improve packaging consistency.
The system’s mechanical and pneumatic design replaces more complex robotic automation with simple cylinders and actuators, providing a lower-cost alternative for operations seeking automated pallet protection without the expense or maintenance requirements associated with servo-driven robotic systems. By reducing system complexity, the configuration offers easier maintenance, fewer potential points of failure, and reliable automated performance for a wide range of packaging environments.
The standard system is designed for integration with automated conveyor systems, allowing seamless incorporation into high-throughput packaging lines. PAC Strapping Products can also retrofit the system into existing automated lines depending on facility layout and space constraints, providing manufacturers with additional flexibility when upgrading packaging operations.
PAC Strapping Products offers multiple orientation configurations designed to pair with the appropriate pallet strapping machine. For example, the vertical corner board machine pairs with a horizontal strapper (PSS733H), while the horizontal corner board machine pairs with a vertical strapper (PSS733V), helping ensure proper load stabilization and protection for a variety of pallet applications.
With advanced automation technologies focused on packaging efficiency and pallet protection, PAC Strapping Products provides manufacturers and distribution operations with practical, affordable solutions for improving load integrity, reducing damage during shipment, and increasing operational consistency across automated packaging lines.
