The strapping tool will help you to seal cartons and pallets safely and quickly and make sure that they stay secure. They are highly effective as they offer high tensile strength and the grip of the strapping tool keeps the otherwise seal-less point intact.
The strapping tool is used to join and seal and open ends of boxes and keep the goods inside intact. Apart from being used on boxes, banding and strapping supplies prove to be helpful in various binding products together because of their strong tensile strength and good strap material.
Here’s how you can choose the best strapping tools for your application –
List of questions that will help you determine which strapping tool is best for your application –
1. Do you need a plastic or steel strap?
2. What is the length and size of the strap that is being used?
3. What is the temperature that the load is being exposed to?
4. What are the weather as well as the environmental conditions under which the load is being strapped?
5. What are the dimensions of the weight and size of the load?
6. What is the number of straps being applied to the load?
Uses of Strapping Tool
l Helps to bundle things together for shipment, like – Pipes, Newspapers, concrete blocks, wood, etc.
l Reinforcement of wooden boxes and crates.
l Helping secure coils of paper and steel.
l Closing containers of shipment and corrugated boxes.
l Holding together heaps of textile and agricultural products.
For Small Needs
If you’re working in a small office or are storing some boxes in your house attic, you don’t need a strap kit with high tensile strength. A lightweight kit with 3000 feet or 1/2” plastic/polyester strap will be sufficient for your needs.
For Bigger Needs
For bigger loads, you will need plastic or metal straps of a width ranging from 1 to 3 inches along with a strap puller to ensure that the load is packed tightly.
Steel straps are used for the strongest results of strapping and are the most demanded in heavy applications, especially in the manufacturing and construction industry.
But with polyester strapping, higher tensile strength can be achieved, the straps will not rust and corrode, and it’s also less expensive as compared to steel straps.
To verify is the appropriate strap is being used for the application, you can apply this formula to your need –
(Load Weight x 1.5) / No. of straps to be applies = Tensile strength
This formula would determine your break-load strength and help you choose the correct strapping tool for your application.
The strapping tool is highly appreciated for its use in varied areas such as to seal the ends of the strapping material during the process of transportation. They are highly durable and of high quality. And helps in easy sealing of the cargo and cartons. So now you can take a break from the hectic packaging schedule and make sure that your cartons are safe and secure.
