Machinery Grade
Wire is a very successful strapping material where strength, safety, and economy are required. It can be manufactured in many sizes, strengths, and finishes. It is packaged in large quantities which promotes efficient handling, freight, storage, and long runs before reloading of machinery or systems.
High tensile galvanized steel wire is required in automatic wire strapping equipment. It is manufactured under rigid specifications on high-speed drawing and coiling equipment. The quality of the wire is critical to the proper operation of strapping equipment.
Cranston Machinery Co. is dedicated to producing high-speed, reliable machinery for those applications where automation is realistic and economically advantageous. New applications are analyzed for machine cost, with production rate, strap strength, and existing method of packaging as critical factors.
