Detailed explanation of the use of plastic cable ties for strapping machines
Choose the material, size and color of the cable tie
1. Material: Commonly used plastic cable ties are made of nylon, PE, PP, etc. Nylon cable ties have good toughness and strong load-bearing capacity, and are suitable for packaging items that require high strength; PE plastic cable ties have low cost and are suitable for one-time use, such as packaging goods in supermarkets; PP plastic cable ties have a wide range of applications and are moderately priced, suitable for a variety of occasions such as homes, shops, and factories.
2. Size: Choose the corresponding size according to the size and weight of the package. If it is too small, it cannot be tied tightly, and if it is too large, it will waste materials and costs.
3. Color: Choose according to needs. Generally, you can choose white, black, red and other colors. You can also use color strips to distinguish the purpose of the package, the consignee and the consignor, and other information.
Preparation before use
1. Clean the package: First clean the package to ensure that there are necessary packaging equipment and packaging materials to avoid contaminating the cable tie and affecting the use effect.
2. Measure the cable tie: Measure the appropriate length of cable tie according to the size and weight of the package, and use professional tools to help cut the cable tie.
Correct use of cable ties
1. Package positioning: First put the items to be packaged together and separate them, then pass the cable tie through both sides and keep it tight.
2. Adjust the direction: Align the line at the beginning of the plastic cable tie with the gap and press it upward to ensure the correct direction of the cable tie.
3. Closure insurance: Fold the end of the plastic cable tie into a U shape and then pass it through the cable tie slot, pull it back to complete the closure, and ensure that there is a certain amount of looseness so that it needs to be opened or closed again in the future.
Precautions for use
1. Avoid using inferior cable ties: Inferior cable tie materials can easily cause the packaged items to loosen or the cable tie to be damaged.
2. Do not over-tighten the cable tie: Over-tightening will cause the cable tie to age and break quickly after closure, and also affect the stability of the items.
3. Avoid excessive cross-ties: Too much cross-ties will cause excessive winding of the cable tie, affecting the use effect of the cable tie and waste of consumables.
4. When storing cable ties, avoid direct exposure to sunlight or high temperature environment.
The above is a detailed introduction to the use skills of plastic cable ties for balers. Choosing the right material, size and color, following the correct usage and precautions can improve the stability of the packaged items, protect the items from damage, and save costs and material waste.
