Automatic Plastic Strip Nail Collating Machine (21° Framing Nails) | FFI, Hefei, China

Plastic Strip Nail Collating Equipment

Fine Fasteners Industry (FFI): Hefei, Anhui, China

Fully automatic machine that arranges loose nails and fixes them in an injection-molded plastic strip, producing 21° collated framing nails for pneumatic nail guns, with servo cutting and PLC control.

The automatic plastic strip nail collating machine is post-processing equipment for a nail production line. It takes loose nails, arranges them, and fixes them with an injection-molded plastic strip to make 21° plastic collated framing nails for pneumatic framing nail guns.

The machine consists of a vibrating nail feeder, an injection molding unit, a cooling system, a servo cutting unit, and a PLC control system. Nails are sorted and oriented by the vibrating feeder, hot-melt plastic is injected around them to form an integrated strip, the strip is water-cooled, and a servo cutter cuts it to length. The operator only needs to refill the nails.

FFI says the nails are firmly wrapped, resist coming apart or dropping out, and that plastic strips are stronger than paper strips and more shock-resistant during high-speed nailing. Photoelectric sensors and the PLC stop the machine and raise an alarm for missing nails or faults. It processes plain shank, ring shank, and screw shank nails in steel or galvanised finish, and can be connected to a nail making machine to form a complete production line.

Why Choose Plastic Strip Collating?

Framing nail guns need nails supplied in strips at a set angle. Plastic strips hold nails more strongly than paper strips and stand up better to high-speed firing. Collating your own nails lets a nail factory sell the higher-value collated product.

• Framing-gun compatible. Makes standard 21° plastic collated nails.
• Strong strips. FFI says plastic is more shock-resistant than paper.
• Automatic. Feeding, injection wrapping, cooling, and cutting, with only nail refilling by the operator.
• Inline option. Can connect to a nail making machine for continuous production.
• Safe operation. Stops and alarms for missing nails or malfunctions.
