Soco T10 Case taper

• Sealing corrugated cardboard boxes in packaging lines.
• Automating the final step in product packaging before palletisation.
• Used in e-commerce fulfilment centres for consistent package sealing.
• Integrating into production lines requiring high-volume box closure.

Typical throughput

Units of this type commonly process 20-30 boxes per minute, depending on box size and operator efficiency.

Power supply

This class of equipment typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, often 400V, 50Hz, common in industrial settings.

Box size range

Case tapers like the Soco T10 are generally designed to handle a range of box dimensions, with maximums for width and height commonly around 400-500mm.

Tape compatibility

Typically compatible with standard packaging tapes, often 48mm or 75mm wide, on a common core diameter.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a typical footprint would be approximately 1000-1500mm in length and 800-1000mm in width, plus conveyor space.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from painted steel, with some components in stainless steel for durability and hygiene in certain applications.

Strapping equipment remains reliable for securing packaged goods across food processing operations. Buyers typically value machines offering consistent tension control, minimal downtime, and straightforward maintenance. When purchasing used units, inspectors should assess wear on strapping heads, motor function, and sensor calibration. Industry sentiment favours equipment with proven track records in high-volume environments. Key strengths include durability, energy efficiency, and compatibility with various film types. Proper mechanical condition and operational history are essential considerations for cost-effective procurement.
