SSE-900

FEATURES:

SPEED

Industry Leading Speed of up to 49 ft/sec. Rugged Design.

POWER

Quick-change Cartridges. Four Piece Modular Design.

INTELLIGENCE.

Servo Actuated. Smart Iot Integration. Small Footprint The 900 Strapping head meets your need for a highly reliable, advanced, low cost of ownership production device. Providing unmatched speed, tension, flexibility and on-board technology the SSE is the peak of strapping head design. Contact your local Samuel sales representative to discuss the needs of your operation.

SSE-SERIES

FEATURES:

Quick-change Cartridge Design: 

Three quick-change cartridges provide Feed/Reverse, Tension and Sealing operations in discrete packages. Replacing cartridges takes as little as 30 seconds, and the heaviest cartridge is 42 lb.

Servo Actuated:

The head functions via three direct-drive servo motors – one for each cartridge. Servo’s eliminate clutches and brakes, and timing adjustments frequently associated with strapping heads. Servo technology allows advanced IoT communications to highlight potential performance issues and allow predictive maintenance.

Fewer Parts:

Using technology to reduce complexity the SSE has 30% fewer parts than other heads in the market-place. Fewer parts means more reliability and lower cost of ownership.

Table header 0900
Maximum Tension550 lb.
Weight42 lb., 12 lb., 40 lb.
Strap width3/8” and 5/8”
Strap Thickness0.019 to 0.043”
Feed Speedup to 49 fps

Extremely High-speed:

With feed-speeds up to 49 FPS the SSE offers unparalleled strapping speed.

Rugged Design: 

The cartridges are designed with industrial application in mind. Motors are industrial grade, components are heavy-duty machined metal. Samuel Toughness remains the design theme.

Intelligent IoT Design:

When installed in a Samuel machine the SSE cartridges communicate to the PLC – identifying themselves to provide an operation and maintenance record for each module – simplifying troubleshooting and long-term maintenance planning. Servo controllers can communicate valuable performance data to identify wear before it creates downtime.

Reduced Operating Costs:

Quick-change cartridges that tell the maintenance team about important operating parameters allow predictive maintenance – reducing downtime. All-metal construction eliminates high-cost downtime when polymer components fail prematurely. Fewer parts mean less inventory, higher reliability and simpler repair tasks.

FAQs

What if I need a custom solution?

You're in the right place — all Samuel systems are custom-engineered to meet the unique needs of your operation. From machine layout and strapping configuration to material compatibility and automation level, every solution is tailored to your application.

What is the warranty for the equipment?

All Samuel systems come with a 12-month warranty covering parts and manufacturing defects.

What is the standard lead time for a new system?

Our standard lead time is 18–24 weeks for systems equipped with a Samuel SSE head.If the system uses a strapping head from a third-party supplier (common in the steel industry), the overall lead time will depend on that manufacturer's delivery schedule.

How does installation and training work?

Installation typically takes 3 to 9 days, depending on the complexity of the machine.A Samuel technician will be on-site to support start-up, calibration, and operator training, including instruction on the machine and strapping head.
