Paper Collated Strip Nailer

The Paper Collated Strip Nailer is a high-efficiency fastening tool specially designed for paper-collated strip nails bound with paper tape. It is mainly used for batch nailing operations in woodworking, construction, furniture manufacturing and other scenarios. Thanks to the eco-friendly and biodegradable features of paper-collated nails and its compatibility with nail guns of various angles, it has become one of the mainstream alternatives to plastic-collated strip nailers.

I. Core Definition & Working Principle

1. Core DefinitionSingle nails are equidistantly bound into long strips of specific angles (commonly 17°/21°/28°/34°) using paper tape as the connecting piece. The strips are loaded into nail guns of the corresponding angles, and the power-driven striker drives the nails into the base material quickly.

2. Working Principle

• Pneumatic Type (Mainstream): Connect to an air compressor (pressure usually 70–120 PSI). Pull the trigger and press the safety contact tip; high-pressure air pushes the cylinder piston and striker to impact the nail head instantly. Meanwhile, the strip nails are automatically fed through the magazine compression spring. The return spring or reverse airflow drives the striker back to its original position, ready for the next firing.

• Lithium-ion Cordless Type (Portable): The battery powers the motor/cylinder to achieve wireless single-shot/ continuous firing. The gas-powered type generates pressure through gas combustion to push the striker.

3. Core StructureGun body (cylinder, striker, balance valve, trigger, safety contact tip) + magazine (fixing groove, compression spring, angle-adaptive guide rail) + depth adjustment knob + exhaust port/silencer.

II. Main Types & Specification Parameters

(I) Classification by Power Source

(II) Key Specification Parameters

1. Compatible Strip Nail Angle: Must match the nail gun angle; common angles are 34° (mainstream for framing nailers), 28°, 21°, 17°.

2. Nail Length Range: 50mm (2") – 100mm (4") for framing nailers; short-nail models are suitable for nails under 50mm (furniture assembly).

3. Nail Shank Material/Diameter: Q235 carbon steel, 45# steel, 304/316 stainless steel; diameter ranges from 2.5mm to 4.6mm. Nail shanks can be smooth, ring-shaped (anti-pulling) or threaded (enhanced fixation).

4. Firing Modes: Single-shot (precision positioning), continuous firing (rapid nailing by holding the trigger); adjustable depth (regulating striker stroke via knob).

III. Core Application Scenarios

1. Construction Engineering: Fixing wooden structures, roof trusses, exterior wall panels, floor joists and scaffolding planks.

2. Furniture Manufacturing: Assembling cabinets, sofa frames, bed frames, tables, chairs and packaging wooden cases.

3. Decoration & Renovation: Installing wall panels, ceiling joists, door/window casings and skirting boards.

4. Outdoor Gardening: Wooden house construction, fence installation, plank road laying and anti-corrosion wood projects (paper-collated nails are biodegradable with no residue).

IV. Core Advantages & Notes

(I) Advantages

1. Eco-friendliness: Paper tape is biodegradable, avoiding plastic pollution caused by plastic-collated nails and meeting green construction requirements.

2. High Compatibility: Flexible paper tape is compatible with nail guns of various angles, ensuring smooth nail feeding with a low jamming rate.

3. High Efficiency: Each strip contains a large number of nails (usually 20–30 pieces), reducing reloading frequency. Pneumatic models can fire 60–100 nails per minute.

4. Controllable Cost: The procurement cost of paper-collated nails is close to that of plastic-collated nails, and the maintenance cost of pneumatic models is low.

(II) Usage & Maintenance Tips

1. Safe Operation: Must wear safety goggles and gloves; never point the muzzle at people; connect the air source/power supply before loading nails.

2. Matching Principle: The angle, length and diameter of strip nails must be consistent with the nail gun nameplate to avoid nail jamming or gun body damage.

3. Daily Maintenance: Add 2–3 drops of special pneumatic tool oil to pneumatic models before each use; regularly clean the magazine and guide rail to remove paper scraps and dust; empty strip nails, clean and apply anti-rust oil before long-term storage.

V. Selection Suggestions

1. Batch Fixing in Factories/Construction Sites: Prioritize 34° pneumatic paper-collated framing nailers (compatible with 50–100mm strip nails).

2. High-altitude/Outdoor Scenarios Without Power Supply: Choose lithium-ion cordless paper-collated strip nailers (pay attention to battery life and capacity).

3. Fine Furniture Assembly: Select 21°/17° short-nail paper-collated strip nailers (compatible with 30–50mm strip nails with adjustable nailing depth).
