A strapping apparatus () for packages, has a packing table () on which the package () to be strapped lies. The apparatus has vertically oriented supports () which are arranged laterally on the packing table (), a horizontally oriented pressing plate () which is arranged on the vertical supports () and which is movable in a vertical direction, and a device, situated on the pressing plate (), for the arrangement of an edge protection means on the package () lying on the packing table (). The device for the arrangement of the edge protection means can be moved from an initial position remote from the package into an arrangement position close to the package (). The device includes at least one magazine (), arranged on the pressing plate (), for the supply of edge protection means and has a first clearance outline profile which is delimited by the packing table (), the vertical supports (), the pressing plate () and the at least one magazine (). The magazine () has a normal position which, for the transfer of an edge protection means, corresponds to the initial position of the arrangement device, and the magazine () is a part of a first clearance outline profile. The magazine () has a deflected position into which it can be moved from the normal position and in which the magazine () is part of a second, wider clearance outline profile. A method for strapping packages in a strapping apparatus is also disclosed.

Strapping apparatus for packages and strapping method

A device arranges an edge protector on a package. The device includes a drive wheel for moving the device along a guiding rail from a point of departure to the package and from the package to the point of departure. A motor is carried by the device and drives the drive wheel. A clamp mount includes a movable clamping jaw and a counter bearing for taking up the edge protector in an open position of the clamping jaw and to hold it in a closed position of the clamping jaw. The motor drives the drive wheel and acts on a power transmission assembly to induce opening and closing of the clamping jaw. A device for strapping packages having the edge protector applicator includes a frame carrying a press plate above a vertically movable packing table. The press plate has running rails on which the edge protector applicator is movably mounted. The applicator device is mounted below the press plate.
