Banding machines
ATS banding machines can be used anywhere – our range extends from movable machines to customized machines seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. They also function perfectly in moist, dusty and cold environments and are also suitable for use in clean rooms. The machines are also extremely easy to operate. ATS banding machines were developed in Switzerland, where they continue to be manufactured, and meet the highest quality requirements. They are extremely reliable, require little maintenance, and are energy-efficient.
Further advantages of banding with ATS machines are listed here.
