A mobile strapping device for strapping packaged goods with wrap-around strap including a tensioner for applying a strap tension to a loop of a wrapping strap, and a friction welder for producing a friction weld connection by way of a friction welding element at two areas of the loop of the wrapping strap disposed one on top of the other, and a chargeable energy storage means for storing electrical energy that can be released as drive energy for motorized drive motions at least for the friction welder for producing a friction weld connection. For a strapping device with high functional reliability and ease of handling, despite the possibility of automated production of wrapped straps, at least to a large extent, the strapping device to includes a planetary gear system for transferring and changing the rotational speed of a drive motion provided by an electrical drive of the friction welder.
A mobile strapping device for strapping packaged goods with a wrapping strap, comprising a tensioner for applying a strap tension to a loop of wrapping strap, as well as a friction welder for producing a friction weld connection by way of reciprocating movement of a friction welding element at two areas of the loop of wrapping strap disposed one on top of the other, and a chargeable energy storage means for storing electrical energy which can be released as drive energy for motorized drive motions provided by an electrical drive of the friction welder at least for the friction welder for producing the friction weld connection, characterized by a planetary gear system for transferring and changing rotational speed for the motorized drive motions provided by the electrical drive of the friction welder at least for the reciprocating movement of the friction welding element of the friction welder for producing the friction weld connection.
