Strapping Made Smarter: Landen Strapping Elevates Machine Performance with Teknic’s ClearPath® Servos

For more than 45 years, Landen Strapping Corporation—based in Prince George County, Virginia—has been a trusted manufacturer of high-performance strapping equipment for industrial packaging. Their systems support demanding applications across meat and poultry processing, seafood, textiles, flooring, lumber, and numerous other industries where reliability, speed, and durability are essential.

As Landen’s CEO noted, a transformational shift occurred when the company adopted “smart servo technology” to enhance the precision and throughput of its equipment. That focus on innovation continues today through Landen’s long-standing integration of Teknic’s ClearPath® servos:

Strapping machines wrap strong plastic or steel straps around packages, bundles, or pallets to keep them secure during storage or transport. Instead of spending time with manual tools, these machines tighten, seal, and cut the strap in one smooth motion. Manufacturers rely on this kind of equipment to boost consistency, protect their products, and keep production moving.

Landen Strapping’s machines serve a wide range of industries: meat, poultry, seafood, textiles, flooring, lumber, and more. Landen Strapping holds the #1 selling strapping machine in the industry.

Customers in high-volume manufacturing and processing environments depend on strapping systems that deliver:

• Fast, consistent throughput to maintain production efficiency
• Simple, dependable machine architecture with minimal maintenance
• Rugged performance suitable for harsh or wash-down conditions
• Strong, responsive technical support for long-term reliability

Landen’s reputation for quality is built on meeting—and exceeding—these expectations.

To support the speed and accuracy required in modern packaging operations, Landen integrates Teknic’s ClearPath MC-Series servos across its strapping platforms. ClearPath’s ease of use, precision motion control, and robust construction enable Landen to deliver exceptional performance with simplified machine design.

With ClearPath, Landen’s dual-head systems can exceed 100 straps per minute, maintaining long-term uptime and dependable operation in some of the toughest industrial environments.

Landen’s Service Manager, Vince Carden, highlights the impact of the collaboration:

“For over seven years, we’ve partnered with Teknic to enhance the performance and efficiency of our power strapping machines by integrating their ClearPath® motor. The motor was a perfect fit for our system, and the support from Teknic has been truly world-class. The build quality is outstanding, and their engineering team consistently goes above and beyond. Choosing this motor was an easy decision, and we’re excited to see the innovative products Teknic has in the pipeline.”
