trapping specialist Mosca has introduced a new entry-level pallet strapping model, specifically designed for frequently-changing, low-
volume production runs. The fully automated Mosca LCU pallet packing press is suitable for many different industries and can be easily integrated into new or existing production lines. A variety of options are available to tailor the machine to individual customer requirements. The LCU features a moveable SoniXs sealing unit for consistent parallel ultrasonic welding. After applying strap in the first position, it moves to the second position to apply a second strap – securing the load for transport. In addition, for higher-output operations, Mosca is able to supply the machine with two SoniXs ultrasonic sealing units. With one sealing unit, the LCU straps up to 95 pallets per hour; with two units, it can process up to 150 pallets per hour. Strap positions are based on Euro pallets and can be set to 440 or 625 millimetres for horizontal or vertical strapping.
