PN2-114 Pneumatic Feedwheel Tensioner
The PN2-114 is a pneumatic feed wheel push type tensioner for steel strapping and it is considered the perfect tool to secure round or irregular shaped packages. This is a light weight tool and is ergonomically designed and operators can operate it single handedly. It is also a mobile tool and operator can transport it from one place to another easily. This becomes very easy and useful when the operator is pressed for time and has a heavy load of work.
The PN2-114 provides uniform and precise tension every time it is used and it is generally used along with a sealer. It is not necessary to counterbalance this tool. As it is not a combination tool, it has to be used with a sealer. The disadvantage in using separate tools is that it is not a time-saver and other separate tools have to be used to complete the work. This hampers the speed with which work is going on.
In order to eliminate the use of two tools, combination tools can be used, which makes the work faster and more efficient. These tools are cost effective and increase productivity. The combination tool, tensions, seals and cuts at the touch of a button. Battery operated combination tools are even faster than the pneumatic tools.
The PN2-114 is a very light weight tool and can pull close to 1600 pounds of tension. The disadvantage in using pneumatic tools is that the presence of air lines all over the work room floor is an obstacle for the operator. Free flow of work is hampered. To solve this many industries are switching over to battery operated tools.
The battery form of the PN2-114 is the Signode Grip Pack 114 Tensioner, and there is the Grip Pack 114 Sealer that goes with the tensioner.
