Mosca at Interpack: Strapping solutions for Industry 4.0

With the new RFID application, Mosca demonstrates in clear and simple terms what Industry 4.0 could mean in the field of strap inventory management. The company shows how a customer's ERP system communicates with a strapping machine equipped with intelligent strap coils, identifies stock levels, and independently activates reorders. Interpack visitors can watch consumption and ordering processes live at Stand F36 in Hall 16, where they are simulated with a strap warehouse, a strapping machine that reads RFID tags, and multiple digital displays. 

High-performance pallet strapping

The fully automated KZV-111 quickly and reliably handles special strapping challenges posed by bulky, frequently changing packages. The unit can be easily integrated into existing production lines and uses a single basic frame. Its conveyor height can be infinitely adjusted from 0 to 650 millimeters. An optional strap tension balance system distributes strap tension evenly across the entire package and ensures reliable stability – a key advantage for rigid products.

High-performance side-seal strapping machine with ultrasonic technology

Heavy products or items transported close to the ground, such as furniture or household appliances, can best be secured for transportation using horizontal strapping. Mosca's latest development in the EVOLUTION series, the EVOLUTION SoniXs MS-6-H, is ideal for this task, because the sealing unit is attached to the side of the machine. The MS-6-H has a vertically adjustable frame to secure the packages horizontally in different levels. A side pusher presses the product against the strapping unit for very precise positioning of the straps. In high-end applications, the SoniXs MS-6-H can triple strap up to 180 packages per hour. Up to ten different strapping positions ensure the package is securely strapped for safe transport.

Fully automated units for a wide range of applications

Other EVOLUTION series units are also on display at Interpack, including the versatile EVOLUTION SoniXs MP-6 B with three different frame sizes from 600 by 600 millimeters to 1000 by 800 millimeters. This compact unit features integrated in-feed and outlet conveyors, making it an ideal entry-level fully automated machine. It also features a top-of-the-line Standard-6 sealing unit and modular construction.

The top-of-the-range EVOLUTION SoniXs TR-6 Pro is equipped for the highest strapping performance requirements and the demands of Industry 4.0. Along with a range of different strapping programs, positions and settings that can be easily selected via HMI touch panel, users can integrate the unit into many standard control platforms.

The EVOLUTION SoniXs MP-6 R-VA is perfect for the food processing industry. It is made entirely of stainless steel, aluminum, and other corrosion-resistant materials and can be safely cleaned with a water jet.
