Loose pallet strapping on a warehouse floor is one of the most common - and most preventable - trip hazards in any goods-in or dispatch area.The moment a strap is cut from a pallet, it springs free and immediately becomes a safety risk.
The Sweed 450 DDX is Sweed’s bestselling Strapping Chopper - and it’s easy to see why. Designed specifically for facilities generating large amounts of scrap PET banding, it combines a wide infeed, dual-driven feed rolls and an external flywheel to handle even tangled nests of strapping quickly and effortlessly. Where other machines struggle with bunched or knotted straps, the 450 DDX processes them without hesitation.
The wide 85mm infeed opening means operators don’t need to carefully feed straps one at a time - just grab a handful and feed them in. The dual-driven feed rolls grip and pull the strapping through consistently, even when it’s tangled, while the additional horsepower and external flywheel provide the extra cutting capacity needed for high-volume throughput. The result is a machine that keeps pace with busy goods-in and dispatch operations without slowing the team down.
The 450 DDX can sit on a sturdy Sweed stand with stout castor wheels for easy repositioning around the facility. Stand and hopper are available separately.
The environmental case
If you use steel strapping, chopping it means your waste collections carry physical material rather than air ... dramatically reducing the number of journeys to transport it! Chopped pieces are reduced to approximately 75mm lengths - compact enough to store in a standard bin and straightforward to transport for recycling. For businesses using PET strapping, this is the most cost-effective way to meet waste recycling obligations, reduce disposal fees and add resale value to what would otherwise be a waste product.
Every kilogram of PET pallet strapping recycled saves up to 75% of the CO₂ cost of virgin PET production ... equivalent to 4.3kg of CO₂, or driving a car for 40km.
