Strap Closures

For Plastic Strap

Polychem offers a wide assortment of plastic strap closures. The type of closure is influenced by the load or package characteristics. Low volume, low tension, light weight packages may be best joined with plastic or steel buckles that require no tools. Low volume, medium tension, heavier loads may best be tensioned and sealed with manual tensioners and metal seals. The heaviest loads may require manual combination tools, polyester strapping and metal textured seals.

For Steel Strap

Polychem carries snap -on, thread-on, push-on and magazine seals for the most popular sizes of steel strapping. The snap- on seals are the most common while push- on seals are used with push type tensioners on small round or irregular shaped packages. Magazine seals are used in manual combination tools.

 

Strap Dispensers

For Plastic Strap

Polychem’s plastic strap dispenser is excellent for low volume portable strapping.The DS-100 plastic strapping dispenser is adjustable to accept 8” and 16” diameter cores and 3”, 6”, and 8” faced coils. A handy tray stores seals and tools.

For Steel Strap

Polychem offers two types of steel strapping dispensers. The SD-15 is a portable cart type dispenser that handles up to ¾” standard oscillated wound steel coils. The SD-62 heavy duty dispenser is for ribbon wound steel strap up to 2".

 

Corner Protectors and Edgeboards

For increased protection of pallet loads use Polychem corner protectors and edgeboard. They provide a dual function, first by not allowing the strap to cut into the package and they also help to square and stabilize the load.

Counterbalancer

To increase the ease of operation and reduce fatigue, tool counterbalances suspend strapping tools and greatly reduce the felt weight of the tool during operation. Many power strapping tools such as Polychem’s PHT series already come complete with suspension brackets for ready attachment to counterbalances.

Filter Regulator

A filter regulator is required for all pneumatic functions on strapping machines such as presses and conditioners. Filter regulators are included on strapping machines ordered with standard or optional pneumatic functions. The filter regulator provides the proper clean air pressure needed to operate equipment pneumatics.
