Marpak Machines We Supply

Marpak Strapping Machines

Marpak strapping machines represent one of the most widely deployed end-of-line packaging technologies in the ceramic tile industry and a growing number of other industrial sectors. These machines are designed to operate in demanding, fully automated production environments where speed, reliability, and consistent performance are essential — often running continuously across multiple shifts with minimal operator intervention.

The defining feature of the Marpak strapping system is the patented TR strapping head, an engineering solution that delivers reliable strap tensioning, precise cutting, and secure sealing cycle after cycle. This head is housed within a sturdy, industrial-grade frame structure designed to withstand the vibrations and mechanical stresses typical of high-volume production facilities. The low-friction, wear-resistant track system that guides the strap around the package further reduces maintenance requirements, extending the intervals between service interventions and minimizing unplanned downtime.

Marpak offers both vertical and horizontal strapping machine configurations. Vertical machines are used to secure stacked tile packs, building material bundles, and other products before they are palletized or moved to the next stage of the packaging line. Horizontal configurations are integrated within production lines to group and unitize products as they move along the conveyor. Both configurations are compatible with PP (polypropylene) and PET (polyester) strapping bands, giving production managers flexibility in choosing the most cost-effective or mechanically appropriate band for their specific application.

As your dedicated Marpak packaging machines supplier, Atlas Trading supplies the full range of Marpak strapping machines together with compatible strapping bands in all standard widths and strengths, and all related spare parts required to keep these systems running at peak performance.

Marpak Stretch Hood Machines

Stretch hood technology represents one of the most advanced approaches to pallet load protection in modern industrial packaging. Rather than applying heat to secure a film around a load — as thermoshrink systems do — stretch hood machines apply a pre-stretched elastic polyethylene tubular film that grips the pallet tightly as it recovers to its natural shape. The result is a stable, fully enclosed package that protects against dust, moisture, UV exposure, and physical damage during handling and transport, without the energy consumption associated with heat-based systems.

The Marpak ST30 stretch hood machine is a flagship product that exemplifies this technology at industrial scale. The machine uses a tubular stretch film with side gussets, which is automatically prepared, stretched, applied over the pallet load, and released in a single continuous automated cycle controlled by a PLC. The operator’s role is limited to monitoring and reel replacement — all other functions are handled automatically. A key design advantage of the ST30 is its maintenance-friendly layout: all critical mechanical components requiring periodic service are located at ground level, eliminating the need for elevated maintenance work. This translates directly into improved operator safety, faster maintenance operations, and reduced machine downtime.

From the perspective of packaging performance, the ST30 delivers excellent load stability — the elastic film holds the palletized load firmly together, reducing the risk of product movement during transport. The film also provides full coverage of the top, sides, and bottom edges of the load, offering better protection than conventional stretch wrapping in exposed environments. At the same time, the material efficiency of stretch hood technology means reduced film consumption compared to alternative methods, contributing to lower packaging costs over time.

Stretch hood machines supplied through Atlas Trading as your Marpak packaging machines supplier are used in ceramic tile production, building materials, food and beverage, chemical industry, and logistics operations for palletized goods of all kinds.

Marpak Shrink Packaging Machines

Thermoshrink packaging represents a different approach to pallet load protection — one that uses heat to achieve a rigid, compact, and fully waterproof package around the palletized load. In a Marpak thermoshrink system, a polyethylene shrink film is placed over the load and then passed through a heat shrink tunnel or exposed to controlled heat application, causing the film to contract tightly around every contour of the package. The result is a solid, protective outer shell that resists impact, moisture, dust, and environmental contamination.

This technology is particularly effective for heavy, bulky, or irregular-shaped loads where other packaging methods may not provide sufficient stability or protection. Products with uneven surfaces, sharp edges, or varying heights — such as bricks, insulation boards, chemical containers, or industrial components — benefit from the conforming nature of thermoshrink film, which adapts precisely to the shape of the load rather than simply covering it.

Marpak has developed advanced combined hooding and thermoshrink systems that integrate both technologies into a single, space-efficient machine. The Marpak AT30, for example, combines automatic film hooding with the thermoshrink process in a compact machine layout that reduces the production floor footprint while maintaining high packaging throughput. In this configuration, the stretch film is automatically prepared and positioned from a tubular reel. A conveyor system moves the load inside the shrink unit, where controlled heat causes the film to contract uniformly around the entire pallet. The process produces packaging that is stable, waterproof, and capable of withstanding demanding transport and outdoor storage conditions.

Atlas Trading supplies Marpak shrink packaging machines and all related spare parts and consumables — including shrink film in the appropriate specifications for each application — as part of its comprehensive Marpak packaging machines supplier service.

Marpak Automatic Pallet Packaging Lines

For production environments where individual machines are not sufficient to meet throughput requirements or where full automation of the entire end-of-line process is necessary, Marpak offers integrated complete packaging lines that combine multiple technologies into a single coordinated system. These lines bring together strapping, stretch hooding or thermoshrink hooding, corner protection, conveying, and palletizing stages into a continuous automated workflow — reducing manual intervention to a minimum and ensuring consistent packaging quality across every production shift.

Marpak has demonstrated particular expertise in designing complete packaging lines for the ceramic tile industry, where the diversity of product formats — from traditional standard tiles to large-format slabs exceeding 3600 x 1750 mm and weighing up to 3.5 tons — creates significant packaging engineering challenges. Self-sizing packaging lines developed by Marpak are capable of processing multiple product sizes in sequence without manual format changeover, adapting automatically to each load’s dimensions as it enters the packaging stage. This capability is critical in plants where the production mix changes frequently and packaging flexibility directly impacts operational efficiency.

The core of a Marpak complete packaging line is the integrated compaction and strapping system, which applies corner protectors and straps to stabilize the load before it enters the hooding or shrinking stage. The hooding technology — either thermoshrink or stretch hood — is selected based on the specific protection requirements of the product and the storage and transport conditions it will face. The entire line is governed by a PLC control system that monitors each stage of the process, flags anomalies, and maintains production data for quality control purposes.

As your Marpak packaging machines supplier, Atlas Trading can support the selection, specification, and supply of complete Marpak packaging line configurations tailored to your production requirements.
