In the course of human production and daily life, packaging and strapping tools have undergone many changes.
From the early hemp ropes to plastic ropes, strapping bands, and now edge-protecting strapping machines, each evolution demonstrates the progress of the times and the development of science and technology. In the early days, hemp ropes, as the main strapping tool, were made from natural hemp plants. They helped people tie up crops in the agricultural field, assisted in building simple structures in construction, and were used for wrapping gifts in daily life. However, hemp ropes have poor water resistance and are prone to mildew and rot.
With the rise of chemical technology, plastic ropes stepped onto the historical stage. Plastic ropes made of materials such as PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene) not only have high strength and light weight but also possess excellent corrosion resistance and water resistance. In the industrial field, they have become reliable assistants for strapping and hoisting goods; in agriculture, they are used for tying up seedlings and fixing greenhouse films; in daily life, they are commonly seen as the handles of shopping bags and ropes for drying clothes. Compared with hemp ropes, plastic ropes have achieved a leap in performance, and their application fields have been greatly expanded.
The emergence of strapping bands has further optimized packaging and strapping. They are mainly made of PP or polyester, have higher tensile strength and toughness, and come in various specifications to meet different strapping needs. In the logistics, warehousing, and express delivery industries, strapping bands, with the characteristic of a smooth surface that is convenient for machine operation, firmly strap cartons, wooden boxes, etc., ensuring the safe transportation of goods.
The birth of the edge-protecting strapping machine has brought packaging and strapping into an era of intelligence and refinement. It can automatically complete a series of operations such as feeding the strap, strapping, and cutting, and is also equipped with an automatic edge-protecting device for cartons to protect the edges of cartons. In the carton packaging industry, the edge-protecting strapping machine plays a crucial role, ensuring firm packaging while safeguarding the appearance and quality of products.
From hemp ropes to edge-protecting strapping machines, this evolutionary process has witnessed the unremitting exploration of human beings in the fields of materials science and mechanical manufacturing. It has met the growing packaging needs of different periods and industries, and has promoted the continuous development of production and daily life.
