Barbed Staple Machine

The South Fence Machinery Staple machines have been developed from the company’s extensive experience of more than 85 years in the manufacture of wire fence products and wire fence manufacturing machinery.

The Staple Machine produces staples in either barbed or plain form. The advantages of barbed staples over plain staples in soft wood posts are now widely accepted in the marketplace. Our machine gives the versatility to offer both types with the same high production speeds, something that has not previously been available.

  • Staples can be manufactured as either plain, single, or double barbed. Barbs are well known in the market for increased staple retention in soft timber posts.

  • The staple wire’s gauge can be varied to match market expectations.

  • The sliced point nature of the staple ends improve staple driving and retention as the barbs tend to splay slightly once driven in.

  • Splayed or parallel staples can be formed to suit your specific application, whether it be staple gun magazines or manual driving.

  • Wire knurling options available, creating uniquely identifiable staples with better post retention properties.

Our Staple machines support all the features and functionality expected on any modern manufacturing machine:

  • Simple and well-engineered components guarantee that the machine runs reliably to minimise adjustment and downtime.

  • The centralised lubrication system provides automated lubrication to all working parts of the machine, ensuring optimal operation.

  • The ability to switch between barbed and plain staples can be done in seconds by engaging/disengaging the locking hub.

  • Dual plane wire straighteners reduce overall wire drag and improve machine performance.

  • Wire trip sensors are used to pause operation in the event of a wire fault, eliminating costly machine downtime.

 

All machines are backed by South Fence Machinery’s comprehensive warranty and after sales support to ensure your peace of mind.

The Staple machine has a full complement of safety systems to ensure your operator's safety. A full and comprehensive risk assessment is conducted on all South Fence machines in line with international safety regulations and CE compliancy.
