Banding buckles and seals for pallet strapping application.
Selecting the right buckles and seals is vital for ensuring the security and stability of your pallets during transport or storage.
Buckles and seals are used to secure the ends of strapping material, ensuring that the strapping remains tight and holds the load securely during storage and transit.
Strapping buckles are typically used with polypropylene or polyester strapping and allow for re-tensioning if necessary. Banding seals, on the other hand, are crimped over the strapping ends to create a permanent, secure hold.
Buckles are generally used with lighter strapping materials like polypropylene and polyester. They are especially useful for manual strapping applications where adjustable tension is needed.
The most common types of seals include open seals, closed seals and serrated seals. Open seals are easier to place around the strapping, while closed seals provide a stronger hold. Serrated seals have teeth for better grip.
The choice of seal depends on the type and width of the strapping material. For heavier loads, closed or serrated seals offer greater strength. Always match the seal to the specific strapping size and material.
Buckles, particularly metal buckles, can often be reused, making them a cost-effective option. However, the reusability depends on the condition of the buckle after use and the application requirements.
Serrated seals have small teeth that grip the strapping more securely, reducing the risk of the strap slipping. They are ideal for high-tension applications and provide added security for heavy loads.
Use a sealer tool to crimp the seal over the overlapping ends of the strapping. Ensure the seal is properly aligned and apply even pressure to create a strong bond that won’t loosen during transit.
Yes, buckles and seals come in various sizes to match different widths of strapping. Always select a buckle or seal that matches the strapping’s width and thickness to ensure a secure fit.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses to avoid injury from sharp edges or tensioned strapping. Ensure the strapping is properly tensioned before applying the buckle or seal and regularly inspect tools and materials for damage.
