Mosca's successful EVOLUTION SoniXs MS-6 with 15 millimeter strap path for Asian Market

12.02.2020

Many strapping machine users in Asia require a 15 millimeter strap path to reliably secure packages for transport. Mosca is responding to this need by adding a new version to the successful EVOLUTION SoniXs MS-6 series. Designed for 15 millimeter strapping materials, the new machine is already in use by customers including Daikin, a world market leader in air conditioning and refrigeration technologies.

"The basic principle of our product policy is to offer machine concepts and individual solutions tailored to the requirements in different parts of the world," explains Mosca CEO Alfred Kugler. "The EVOLUTION SoniXs MS-6 is a versatile solution designed for a wide variety of strapping applications. This model is an ideal choice when it comes to strapping household appliances and other heavy or bulky products. We are now responding to the needs of the Asian market by offering the option of a 15 millimeter strap path instead of the standard 5-12 millimeter path."

Ideal for the Asian market

Heavy household appliances and furniture require the lowest possible transport and conveying height. Thanks to its side-mounted sealing unit, the EVOLUTION SoniXs MS-6 operates with a conveying height down to 210 millimeter. The side position also helps prevent the accumulation of dirt and debris on the sealing unit. Flexibility is a key factor for household appliances. Different products are often packed for safe transport in a variety of formats on the same strapping system. Available in 13 frame sizes ranging from 450 x 400millimeter to 1650 x 1800 millimeter with an optional double strap dispenser, the EVOLUTION SoniXs MS-6 is adaptable for many different applications. To meet their supply specifications, customers in Asia can now process polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET) strapping materials with a width of 15 millimeter.

Secure solution for air conditioners

Representatives from Daikin Shanghai – one of the first manufacturers to use the new EVOLUTION SoniXs MS-6 model – visited the Mosca exhibition stand at CeMAT Asia in 2016. Since then, there has been steady contact between the world market leader for air conditioning technology and the Mosca team in Shanghai. In 2018, Daikin launched a project aimed at modernizing its packaging operations. The company asked Mosca to supply a strapping machine for use at the end of an indoor refrigeration unit assembly line. Air conditioners come in many different sizes, which means household appliance manufacturers need strapping machines with individual strap frame sizes and a strap width of 15 millimeter to ensure added security for heavy products. Wider strapping also offers advantages when it comes to handling as it for example makes packages easier to carry manually. Mosca updated the tried-and-tested EVOLUTION SoniXs MS-6 with a 15 millimeter strap path to meet Daikin's requirements.

A machine with the new 15 millimeter strap path was installed in Daikin's production line at the beginning of 2019. Equipped with a 1650 x 800 millimeter frame, the strapping machine is integrated into the company's state-of-the-art, fully automated system, which includes two Fanuc robots. One robot positions the products packaged in cardboard. The boxes are then strapped and labeled by the second robot. Equipped with a double strap dispenser to minimize the time required for strap changes, the EVOLUTION SoniXs MS-6 handles the fast pace of the high-speed automated production operation with ease. Daikin was impressed by the Mosca machine's simple operation and low maintenance requirements. In a series of on-site visits, the Mosca service team optimized the machine to meet Daikin's requirements. The end result: a satisfied customer who is currently working with Mosca on a plan to add new strapping machines – and a compact high-performance model that perfectly meets the needs of household appliances manufacturers.
