Strapping with metal strap is usually used when particularly bulky or heavy packages have to be tied.
As a rule, where possible, we prefer to use the plastic or textile polyester strap as they are more easily managed.
The metal strap is available in various types, with different different characteristics.
The types of straps available are: blue strap, coiled strap, shiny strap and galvanized strap.
The strapping with metal strap around the products can be done using a manual strapping tool or pneumatic strapping tool.
Manual strapping tools: interlocking or with seal
The manual stretcher requires the operator to close the effort but has the advantage of being relatively light and easily transportable.
It can work both interlocking and with seal.
The manual strapping tool requires the effort to close by the operator but has the advantage of being relatively light and easily transportable.
It can work both interlocking and with seal.
Pneumatic strapping tools: interlocking or with seal
The pneumatic strapping tool, on the other hand, is usually heavier and requires the presence of compressed air for its operation.
The advantage of the pneumatic strapping tool is that it can apply very high closing forces and is usually used on straps of a certain consistency.
Choosing the right strapping tool and the right strap is a fundamental step to be able to bind your products in total safety, being sure that they will not be damaged during transport.
