Strapping Features:
Polypropylene (PP) strapping is easily and readily applied manually and it provides a flexible solution to the packaging application. These are their main features:
- Simplicity: Strapping using the manual method is easy to master and it does not involve any sophisticated equipment thereby making it user friendly in multiple environments.
- Portability: Because it does not require big equipment, manual strapping tools can be used at various and diverse locations, easily.
- Cost-Effective: The cost of investment is small as no special machines are needed so it can be considered a cost-effective method by small companies or when there is low business..
- Versatility: Can fit most sizes and shapes of packages in a flexible manner to meet different strapping requirements.
- Minimal Maintenance: Manual strapping devices are non-complicated and are also reasonably durable and can serve a long period with less maintenance as compared to automatic types.
- No Power Requirement: Does not require power, electricity or batteries so that it can be used where it is unlikely to access to power.
- Control and Precision: The strapping tension and placement is done by an operator and is fully controllable with precision where needed.
- Lightweight Tools: Manual strapping hand tools tend to be lightweight, which eliminates the fatigue of the operator and are easy to manipulate.
- Safety: Manual tools may be provided with additional safety to prevent the injury; e.g. tension control, protective handles.
- Adaptability: Due to its flexibility and portability, it may be utilized in any environment such as warehouses, shipping centres and outdoor places.
- Low Noise: Manual strapping equipment produces a very low level of noise as compared to an automatic strapping machine and thus is applicable in a quieter work setting.
- Customizable: Depending on application requirements, a variety of different manual tools (tensioners, sealers, and cutters) can be chosen.
These characteristics render manual PP strapping a viable option with small scale operations, low budget companies and scenarios where flexibility and portability is the main factor.
