Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for applying a wax coating to a workpiece during a strap-manufacturing process. A controller controls the flow of water and the flow of a wax solution from separate sources into a blender that blends the water and the wax solution into a blended solution. An applicator applies the blended solution to a workpiece that is then longitudinally slit and wound into coils of (waxed) strap. A sensor periodically analyzes the blended solution and sends signals to the controller, which determines the concentration of wax in the blended solution and causes a display device to display the concentration of wax in the blended solution to enable an operator to monitor the concentration of wax in the blended solution.
