Abstract

A strapping machine is disclosed which enables a prolonged life of the driving force supplying means for feeding/tightening a band such as an electric motor to be realized, and which enables maintenance operations such as replacement and adjustment of the parts to be carried out with ease, and whose structure can be rendered simple and inexpensive as a whole, and yet which enables energy saving to be realized. The strapping machine comprising a band feeding/tightening means F adapted to conduct feeding, primary tightening, secondary tightening of a band B to be looped around a periphery of an object to be strapped and the like operation; wherein said band feeding/tightening means F is so constructed as to carry out feeding, primary tightening and secondary tightening of the band B by driving a roller 8 by means of a driving means M2 which is capable of being controlled among rotation, reverse rotation and stopped state.
