This Mosca KPK-121-18 is an automatic pallet strapping machine — sometimes referred to as a pallet bander — designed to apply tensioned plastic strapping around palletised loads to secure them for storage or transport. Mosca is a well-established German manufacturer specialising in strapping and packaging machinery, supplying equipment to industries including logistics, food and beverage, printing, and industrial goods.
Built in 1999 and located in Germany, this used machine is equipped with two strapping heads, with the second head laterally adjustable to accommodate different strap placement positions. The system is controlled by a Siemens S7 programmable logic controller. Upstream of the press, a walk-through centering roller conveyor with a turntable is integrated into the line, and a second turntable is positioned beneath the press itself, allowing the pallet to be rotated prior to strapping — useful for applying bands in multiple orientations without manual repositioning.
The press accepts palletised loads with a footprint of 1,200 mm × 1,200 mm and handles load heights from a minimum of 500 mm up to a maximum of 1,600 mm. Maximum pass-through height is 1,600 mm and maximum pass-through width is 1,500 mm. The pressing platen measures 1,600 mm in length, and pressing force is adjustable via potentiometer up to a maximum of 50,000 N. The press drive is a pole-switchable geared brake motor, with a rapid-traverse speed of 150 mm/second and a pressing speed of 37 mm/second.
Strapping tension is continuously adjustable between 200 N and 2,000 N, and the strap is fed at a speed of 4.6 m/s. The closure method is friction-weld seal. The two strap guide spacings are set at 440 mm and 625 mm respectively. The conveyor belt within the press area has a usable width of 1,500 mm and a length of 2,100 mm.
The control panel measures 1,200 mm wide, 650 mm deep, and 850 mm tall.
