ELASTIC THREAD TYING MACHINEThe FP ASTRO wire tying machine is suitable for tying both small, particularly delicate products and rigid products of various sizes.It can be used for tying electrical cables, branches, vine and hazelnut cuttings, food products, and technical products.By simply tying the elastic thread, the FP ASTRO-C2 secures bundles of flowers or vegetables, bundles and packs of small industrial products such as pens and flexible hoses, tying labels on jars (preserves, mustard, jam, pickles), small label bundles, adhesive labels, and much more. The minimum diameter of a bundle is 7 mm.The FP ASTRO-C2 is equipped with the newly developed FEED IN mechanism, which ensures high speed and precise tying of the product.This tying machine is also equipped with a release system (KRS) that controls the release of the knot. In this way, the product is tied with minimal tension, so it is not damaged. The minimal wear of the knotter due to the KRS system increases the reliability of the tying machine. The base plate is made of aluminum.The machine is EEC certified and comes with a user and maintenance manual for easy operation.The FP ASTRO tying machine is available in two versions:The Light C2 version uses standard wire 1300 (breaking load 65 N) and FOOD wire (breaking load 34 N)The Robust 3K version uses robust technical and food-grade wire with a breaking load of 110 N.The INOX AISI 316 version uses all wire types and is suitable for use in humid environments or in the food and fishing industriesMODELFP ASTRO-C2Extremely user-friendlyMechanical drive by inserting the product to be tiedOnce started, all functions run automaticallyRobust, suitable for continuous operationRequires minimal maintenanceLow noise levelAdjustable wire tensionSpeed94 cycles/minute (100 cycles min. stainless steel model)Duration of tying cycle0.64 secondsUsable heightmax 150 mmWorking depthmax 250 mmMachine dimensions780x495x418 mmWorktop height270 mmMachine weightKg. 47Electrical power220V - 50 Hz 1 phaseFor tying products such as coils, rolls, bouquets, you can use the standard model.For tying products where higher tensile strength is required, the correct model is the one with 3k wire (breaking load 110 N).On request:Marine version in stainless steelVersion with extended arm 350 mm MD 35 and 600 mm MD 60.MH 30 version for products with a height of 300 mmSPS version with contacts for online control.Support trolleySpecial machines for tying elastic threads are made to order.If delivery is particularly urgent, please check delivery times before ordering.USABLE THREADThere are 3 wire versions available:- Technical light cable PCS 1300. Can be used with the C2 and 3K models- Light, food-grade thread with simple elastic core. Can be used with the C2 and 3K models- 3k technical thread - 3 elastic cores. Can only be used with the 3K model- 3k food-grade wire - 3 elastic cores. Can only be used with the 3K model, withstands a temperature of 210° for 2 hoursWe therefore recommend purchasing the 3K model, as it can process all types of wires.On request, an automatic strapping line consisting of the FP ASTRO-C2 strapping machine and 1.5 m infeed and outfeed conveyors can be realized.Technical Specifications / FeaturesModel: FP ASTRO-C2Extremely user-friendlyMechanical drive by inserting the product to be tiedAutomatic operation after startRobust, suitable for continuous operationMinimal maintenance requiredLow noise levelAdjustable wire tensionSpeed: 94 cycles/minute (100 cycles/min stainless steel model)Tying cycle duration: 0.64 secondsUsable height: max 150 mmWorking depth: max 250 mmMachine dimensions: 780x495x418 mmWorktop height: 270 mmMachine weight: 47 kgElectrical power: 220V - 50 Hz 1 phase
