Signode - Steel Strapping Systems, Accessories - 15497 SIGNODE PSF Power Strapping Feeder

A fast efficient strapping system for large or palletised loads for use with plastic or steel strap

PSF provides a much faster andmore efficient alternative to manual strapping. Only one operatoris required with the Signode Design, Function and Application The Signode PSF is a power strap feeder specially designed toapply straps quickly and efficiently around palletised or other large packs. Manual strapping of large, or palletised loads, is labour intensive and extremely time consuming. In some instances it can place operatives in a hazardous position and often, to overcome this, two operatives are required to complete the procedure. The Signode Using the Signode PSF

In operation the Signode PSF is very easy to use; Depressing the push button initiates the strap feeding process around three sides ofthe load. A timer pre-sets the amount of strap that comes out of the bottom strap guide(which can be either a fixed chute or a telescopic bayonet).Whilst strap feeding continues, a flap on the head opens to create a strap loop in aconvenient position in front of the operator. The length of this loop is fully adjustable tosuit individual operational requirements. 1. Strapfeed around load By simply pulling the strap out of the top and bottom guides, the strap is easily appliedaround the load. The operator then inserts the strap ends in the tool to tension and seal the strap in the normal way.All unused strap can be returned to the dispenser, simply by activating the push buttonfor a second time enabling the FT head to prepare for the next strap cycle. This featureis unique to the Signode PSF and eliminates time consuming manually re-insertion of strap for the next cycle. 2. Securing the load
