Product Description
The HBX Small Anvil was created as a result of demands from the field to achieve higher strap tension on
products that have a small package face. The Small Anvil reduces the size of the anvil and hot knife and
increases the amount of tension that is applied by the winder. The goal of the project was to create a machine
that can tightly and reliably strap a rigid package (approximately 2¾”w x ¾” h). The HBX Small Anvil can be
used with all current strap offerings utilized by the standard HBX machine.
The HBX Small Anvil is only available on the 16” x 10” chute size. This chute size covers more than the 80/20
of products that will be strapped with it. Because of limitations of the head and machine program, we elected to
make this the only size available.
Unlike the HB Small Anvil, the HBX-4300 Small Anvil is available with nearly all of the options that you can
order on the standard HBX machine. The only options NOT available are roller table tops and Automatic Cut
and Re-feed. In order to achieve the desired performance, certain concessions needed to be made. This means
that ACR can no longer fit on Small Anvil machines. However, the EZ Clear system is available if a powered
chute clearing system is desired.

Features, Benefits and Options
The HBX-4300 Small Anvil will take Signode to a new standard for strapping machine performance. Extensive
testing and numerous customer visits around the globe have shaped this machine into a world class piece of
equipment. Below are many of the features and benefits of this new line of equipment:
Speed
The HBX is the fastest bundler on the market. It can apply up to 70 straps per minute in optimum conditions.
This speed is dependent on several factors such as load size, tension applied, and strap placement.
Reliability
The HBX has 40% fewer parts than competitive machines. It is designed to run for millions of cycles without
interruption.
