In the ever growing world of strapping, the requirements of the organisations that need such services are always on the rise. This very reason has prompted the need to have modern and high quality machineries and accessories with the help of which the tasks can be completed in the best possible way and also in a much shorter time.
There are different types of items that are required for the purpose of strapping like straps, buckles, seals, machines, dispensers and other things. All these accessories are required to be of the highest quality such that the process of banding can be done in the best possible way.
The prime requirement for doing the job is the straps. These items can be classified into different types according to the materials with which they are made. Some of the most popular materials are that of steel, polyester and polypropylene. The steel straps are the hardest and the strongest of the various types that are available and are thus mainly used for heavy duty purposes. The bands are also non corrosive in nature and thus would keep the packing clean and in a good condition irrespective of the amount of time or place where it is stored. These belts are also highly rigid and have very low possibility of stretch and are thus the ideal choice for heavy goods like palletised or plywood cases. They are also the best option for use with goods that have sharp edges. Along with steel, another material that is also highly used in heavy duty applications is that of polyester. They are the strongest type among the plastic made straps and are heavily used for securing goods like timber, bricks, heavy boxes and other products. Next to polyester, the polypropylene ones are the most used and the plastic strapping materials. They are mostly used for light weight or medium duty purposes, but the features that have made them very popular are that they are resistant to abrasion, chemicals, moisture and do not stain the products that are packed with it. These strapping supplies are used in numerous applications like securing pallet boards, cardboard boxes, bundles etc.
In order to complete the job in the best possible way it is a must to have the right kind of tensioner or sealer. These are the accessories that are used to strap the belts over the goods in a secured and proper manner. The steel tensioners that are there are used for strapping of heavy loads like pallets or crates and can also be frequently used. They are mainly hand operated and remain aligned to the top surface of the goods for proper operation. You can also use the strapping sealer for securing loads with straps that are made of plastic, but these tools are a little different from the ones that are used from steel strapping. There are also numerous types of seals that are used.
