“Compact” is the most advanced model in the spiral-wrapping machine line, suitable for high productivity levels, and the ideal thing if it is to be combined with automatic devices such as loaders, unloaders, packing machines to provide uninterrupted, continual work flows. If material such as paper or plastic is used, the automatic taping machine works alongside it, carrying out the taping with adhesive tape of two contiguous bundles at the same time, and cutting the binding. All operations are automatic while the bundles are moving. No adjustment is required when bar length changes.
