SIGNODE" Seals The choice of a specific seal is often most strongly influenced by the type of tool or machine selected to apply it. Five standard seal types Snap-on seals Placed over the overlapping strap ends either during or after tensioning the strapping. Eliminates pre-threading. Speeds the strapping operation. Push-type seals Used where strap is tensioned by butting the nose of the tensioner against the seal. Overlapping flanges withstand the higher stress. Microgrip® seals For severe impact applications using waxed strapping. Microgrip seals are coated inside with a high-friction grit...

For steel strapping Signode hand tensioners allow operators to bring strap to desired tension with minimal interruption, effort and strap waste. Most tensioners have a base which goes under the strapping and rests on the flat surface of the object being strapped. For smaller or irregular bundles, a push-type tensioner, which has no base under the strap is recommended. Feedwheel—for general use The feedwheel tensioner has a serrated feedwheel which engages the strapping firmly. There is no limit to the amount of slack it can pull out of the strap. Fast and easy to use, it requires the use of...

Signode manual sealers provide positive sealing action with minimal effort. Light and durable, they lock strap ends into a high strength joint. Notch-type sealers cut into the seal and outer edges of the strapping, turning tabs down (down notch) or up (reverse notch). Part Number Crimp-type sealers press the edges of the strapping and seal into wavy crimps specially shaped to produce maximum frictional forces on the strapping. Front-action sealer handles are held perpendicular to the strapping, usually in front of the operator who pushes the handles together close to the chest. Generally...

They also make tensioning uniform and precise through adjustment of the air pressure regulator. Pneumatic Tensioners & Sealers For steel strapping Strap Size All pneumatic sealers require an air filter and regulator. See page 11 for pneumatic tool accessories. * Three seals are required per joint.
