Core corrector

A strapping core corrector comprising:

• a first arcuate side including a first flange coupled substantially perpendicularly to a first collar;
• a second arcuate side including a second flange coupled substantially perpendicularly to a second collar;
• at least one slide coupled to an end of the first arcuate side and an end of the second arcuate side, wherein the at least one slide is movably coupled to one or both of the first arcuate side and the second arcuate side, wherein the first arcuate side couples to the second arcuate side via the at least one slide in a manner in which the first flange and the second flange are approximately parallel and the first collar and the second collar are approximately parallel in about a same plane;
• and
• a rotatable expansion means operatively coupled to the first arcuate side and the second arcuate side, wherein the rotatable expansion means is configured to apply a force to the first arcuate side to bias the first arcuate side away from the second arcuate side.
