PACKIN installed and commissioned a Signode TSM 3000 strapping machine in Bucharest, Romania, for a manufacturer of paper products. The project helped the client improve packaging speed, flexibility, and production efficiency by integrating a reliable automatic strapping solution into the existing machine park.
Today, in our PACKIN Machines series, the focus is on the installation of a Signode TSM 3000 strapping machine in Bucharest, Romania.
What Did We Install?
Our client, a manufacturer of paper products, was looking for a machine that could provide speed and flexibility in a production line environment. Another important requirement was the possibility of functional integration with other machines from the existing machine park.
To meet these needs, we installed an automatic strapping machine, the Signode TSM 3000.

How Long Did the Installation Take?
The complete installation and implementation process for this machine was completed in 4 days.

Technical Specifics and Machine Characteristics
For the successful installation of this type of strapping machine, precise positioning is essential, together with strict compliance with the technical requirements.
The installed Signode TSM 3000 has a weight of nearly 1.5 tons and was installed on an area of approximately 40 square metres.
The machine operator received workplace safety instructions, as well as explanations related to the machine’s functions and normal operation. In addition to this initial briefing, employees also go through specialized training for working with the machine.

Advantages of the Signode TSM 3000
The machine is designed to require minimal maintenance while offering lower energy consumption and strong operational results. A clear example of its efficiency is its working capacity: the machine straps an impressive 40 to 60 pallets per hour.

The main advantages of the Signode TSM 3000 include:
- Highly reliable and durable construction designed for continuous operation
- Chute design that supports high speed, productivity, and maximum efficiency
- Reduced cycle time through high-speed strap feeding and take-up
- Compact and robust design with flexible configurations suitable for many applications
- Low operating costs
- Long-life brushless drive motors with no wear
- Edge protection
Project Challenges
The installation and commissioning process ran smoothly and without significant difficulties. This contributed to the fast optimization of the client’s packaging processes within their production operations.
