Reliability is not only an important aspect of interpersonal relationships, it is also essential in daily production operations. A machine that doesn't function reliably can result in disastrous costs and quickly bring production to a halt. At Mosca, we value reliability in human relationships as much as we do in our machines that operate with minimum downtime and maximum process reliability – no matter how high the product output. Reliability also stands for clearly understanding the needs of others in order to respond accordingly. At Mosca, this means that we work closely with our target industries to supply machines that are tailored to the specific needs of each customer. As a technology leader, we offer a wide range of models for the printing industry and related sectors; from simple, easy-to-operate machines for small runs to fully-automated high-end systems.

For better handling and shipping, newspapers, magazines, printed products and other graphic merchandise are strapped and thus bundled after production. However, the stacks have to be compressed before strapping in order to prevent air from slowly escaping from the stacked products during transport and thus loosening the strapping. No problem for our machines - depending on the model, both steps are even done fully automatically. If required, a compact machine combination can also apply cross strapping in a single operation without turning the product – quickly and with maximum process reliability. This is an enormous advantage, especially in industries with high throughput.

The pros among the entry-level machines

With our innovative automatic strapping machines, MOSCA offers all customers, who do not want to give up high quality at an attractive price in the entry-level segment, a reliable, stable and user-friendly strapping solution.

Strapping small parcels cleanly and tightly is not a problem for the machines of the RO-M Fusion. It has always been characterized by its sturdy construction, reliability and easy operation. The operator starts by manually positioning the package to be strapped on the strapping platform and triggers the strapping process by a pedal. A potentiometer allows him to adjust tape tension. Tested for generations, it is a high-quality entry-level machine at an attractive price.

From the diverse SoniXs MP series, the automatically operated table model SoniXs MP-6 T has long since proven itself on the market thanks to its easy handling and flexibility. The strapping machine features a rotating operation panel and can be loaded from both sides to reach the full strapping capacity. Additional options including table extensions or a supplemental foot pedal increase the range of strapping options of this convenient and functional table model.

Our side-sealing strapping machine SoniXs MS-6 offers with ten different frame sizes and with the option of a frame with flaps highest user flexibility. Unlike most strapping solutions, the sealing unit is positioned on the side of the machine body for easy and efficient strapping of heavy products or items transported close to the ground. In combination with suitable conveying equipment the unit is available to accommodate both entry-level and high-end requirements.

Use of SoniXs Sealing Technology – economical, sustainable and efficient

The machines of the SoniXs series use our innovative SoniXs ultrasonic sealing technology for sturdy joining the two strap ends. This unique, highly efficient process is ready for use at any times. Ultrasonic technology requires no warm-up phase, which saves time and money. The sealing unit only consumes energy when it is actually needed. No fumes are produced during the strapping process, which prevents sensitive products from being affected. Stability at the joints is up to 85% of the tensile strength of the strapping material used, making it extremely secure.

Fully-automatic strapping machines – from maximum productivity to cross strapping

Specialized machine control, Mosca-designed software, SoniXs sealing technology and user-friendly interfaces – Mosca’s fully automatic high-performance machines SoniXs TR-Connect and SoniXs TRI-Connect meet the highest production demands in the newspaper and printing industry and are equipped for the future needs of Industry 4.0. 

SoniXs TR-Connect

The SoniXs TR-Connect is a versatile machine suitable for fully automatic applications with different levels of complexity.

An integrated WebHMI (standard) gives users direct access to all performance-related machine data including availability, quality and output. Machine settings can also be viewed and adjusted at any time. For frequently processed products, users can define optimised, package-dependent machine settings with storable product recipes. The TR-Connect also offers the option of automatically changing product recipes using sensors or interface signals.

SoniXs TRI-Connect

The SoniXs TRI-Connect fully automatic strapping machine straps packages along the transport direction with no need to rotate them. This model is ideal for cross-strapping: bundles of newspapers or other printed products pass through one machine for transverse strapping and a second machine for lengthwise strapping to ensure double-strength transport security.

The machine features as standard a SoniXs ultrasonic sealing unit and integrated WebHMI , which provides the user with all performance-related machine data including availability, quality and output. The SoniXs TRI-Connect also offers the option of automatically changing product recipes using sensors or interface signals.

The clou: cross strapping without package turning with the tandem machine SoniXs TAI-Connect.

SoniXs TAI-Connect

The SoniXs TAI-Connect consists of a compact combination of the machines SoniXs TR-Connect and SoniXs TRI-Connect. They combine transverse strapping and inline strapping in one workflow without turning the product -  a huge advantage for industries with a high throughput and high machine availability, such as the print industry. 

Pallet strapping systems for special securing requirements

For securing stacked print products on pallets and thus safely fixing them for transport, our product portfolio offers a versatile range of fully automatic pallet strapping machines. Particularly sensitive goods, as they often can be found in the newspaper and graphics industry, can additionally be protected against external influences such as dirt, moisture or impact by our stretch film wrapping systems and further protecting options such as edge protection feeders or cover sheet applicators. Our machines often combine several work steps in one single device and are therefore particularly efficient, user-friendly and space-saving. Our pallet packing presses, for example, compress and strap the printed products in one production step. Especially for our customers who have little space available, our machinery portfolio includes a combination device combining pallet strapping and subsequent wrapping of the pallet with stretch film in one single machine - a real alternative to space-consuming production lines. All of our fully automatic pallet strapping systems can be easily integrated into existing production lines or equipped with upstream and downstream conveyor technology.

The KZV-111-Combi pallet strapping system combines strapping and film wrapping in one single machine by adding a stretch wrap spool to the strapping device, thus replacing a long production line with multiple devices. The pallets are securely strapped through the wooden sections using our reliable SoniXs ultrasonic sealing technology. The lightweight movable top sealing platen allows strapping at different packing heights. Thereafter, the strapped pallet is film wrapped according to different parameters.
