SIGNODE MD-VRBFully automatic vertical pallet strapping machineMaximum productivity and availability in a complete packageThe MD-VRB has been specifically developed for the vertical strapping ofpalletised loads and combines advanced features with proventechnology to deliver industry standard levels of reliability and availability.Suitable for use with polypropylene or polyester strapping in 9, 11, 13 or16 mm widths, it offers total operational flexibility to strap and secure a widevariety of palletised loads, including cartons, appliances, timber products,metal and glass components, bales and bundled products. Thecombination of Signode’s clutch free technology, multi-motor design andconsistent (+/- 3%) strap tension from 80 to 2100 Newtons, provides atechnologically advanced machine that is exceptionally reliable and can bespecified to suit specific productivity targets.High Strap TensionThe MD Strapping HeadThe side-mounted design of the MD strapping headenables it to securely strap pallet loads of differingwidths without any loss of tension. The pallet side isdetected via a sensor and the MD head movestowards the pack at the optimum approach speed toprevent any damage to the pallet.For maintenance, the MD head rotates through a full90º providing complete access to both sides, enablingoperators to service or clean the head without theneed of removal from the machine.The patented tension winder system iselectronically controlled to ensure consistentstrap tension of between +/-3% from strap tostrap. Tension levels from 80 to 2100 Newtonsare available to suit a wide variety of productapplications.Exchangeable Sealing ModuleThe sealing module is easilyexchanged and, when used with theoptional spare module, enablesoperation to continue, minimisingdowntime when service is required.

Automatic Strap LoadingAll Signode MD machines areequipped with a fully automatic, highspeed strap feed system to maximisemachine availability.High Strap Joint StrengthInnovative yet proven Signodetechnology in the form of the patentedSwingWELD vibration systemguarantees consistently high jointstrength, yet is sensitive to theenvironment as it produces no heat,fumes or smoke.Low Strap IndicatorA photo-cell, located on the dispenseritself detects low strap conditions andactivates a warning light signal to theoperator to prepare a new strap coil.Quick Change Coil Dispenser(optional)The MD-VRB features a novel strapdispenser which enables coils to beloaded from either horizontal or 45ºpositions and is hinged to lay down foreasy loading. Its design minimisesoperator lifting effort when moving thedispenser back to the upright position.The whole process is extremely fastensuring full productivity is quicklyrestored.Pallet Void Feeding Attachment(bayonet)At just 33 mm, the MD-VRB’s PVFAensures low profile pallets are strappedeasily and safely.MD-VRB models with top compressionTwo further developments of the modular MD side-sealstrapping system, both featuring an additionalcompression device, have been specially developed forpalletised bottle and can applications.Can applications – supplied with a compression force of5,000 Newtons, adjustable in 5 steps.Bottle applications – supplied with a compression force of20,000 Newtons, adjustable in 17 steps.Electrically driven and controlled, the compressiondevice features:a single power source for clean, efficient and fast operation,plus ease of control, high machine availability, with lowmaintenance costs and precise compression force with highrepeatability.

SIGNODE MD-VRB Fully automatic, vertical strapping machineInnovation and total reliability for pallet strappingMD-VRBConstruction, operation and serviceThe MD-VRB is designed for the vertical strapping of palletloads with polypropylene or polyester strapping of 9, 11, 13 or16 mm width. The strapping head, mounted at the side of themachine, can travel up to 500 mm towards the pack toaccommodate packs of different widths. The side of the packis detected by a sensor that guarantees an optimumapproach speed to prevent the strapping head fromOptionsSpare sealing moduleNon standard chute dimensionsAdditional spare strap dispenserRiser kitPhotocell for low strap detection and machine status beaconFoot cycle switchBayonet lengths exceeding 2000 mmAllen Bradley MicroLogix PLCAutomatic strap rewind.
