All Types of Durable Poly Strapping

Poly Strapping is the perfect option for multiple applications when shipping a wide range of products. It is commonly used along with stretch film for stabilizing load. The strap can also be used for bundling products for retail sales. Polyester strapping is considered perfect for heavier loads and can also be used as an alternative for metal strapping.

Types of Plastic Strapping

Different types of plastic strapping are available for different types of applications:

  • Polypropylene Straps – This is the most commonly used strapping for both machine and hand strapping applications. It is available in a wide range of sizes and widths.
  • Polyester Straps – Polyester straps work as the perfect substitute for steel strapping. They provide high level of tensile strength without costing as much as their steel counterparts.
  • Smooth Plastic Straps – Smooth straps also offer high level of tensile strength. Most poly strapping is available with smooth textures for encouraging higher tensile strength.
  • Embossed Strapping – These types of straps feature diamond shaped texture that is formed during extrusion. It provides optimal level of friction against the seal/buckle, which helps in minimizing the chances of slipping.
  • Hand Grade Poly Straps – As the name suggests, hand grade poly straps are used in manual applications. It is wrapped around pallet/package by hand and closed using a poly plastic buckle, metal seals or wire buckle.
  • Machine Grade Poly Straps – These straps are used for fully automatic, semi-automatic and automated strapping machines. In the case of auto-strapping systems, the machine straps around the product, tensions it tightly and seals using friction/heat weld.

Technical Specs

All types and sizes of poly strapping are available for different applications, including:

However, this combination pneumatic tool is becoming popular among industry experts for its features and its reliable operation. This is also a very cost effective tool. The added fact that it is a sealless tool reduces cost further as metal seals cost more.

Specifications

  • Strap Qualities:  Polyester (PET)
  • Strap Dimensions:  1″ or 1.25″ x .040 – .053” (maybe up to .060″)
  • Maximum Tension: 1,570 pounds
  • Sealing Type:  Friction-weld sealing
  • Weight: about 19 pounds

When compared to battery operated tools, pneumatic tools are considered very heavy, but the P359 disproves that by being very light and weighing just about 19 pounds. Since the tool tensions, seals and cuts all by itself, it saves a lot of operator energy and proves to be more effective. It has also proven to be very cost effective and reliable by not breaking down. It is a long lasting tool and is extremely useful for the packaging industry.
