Signode PN2-114

Signode PN2-114

The Signode PN2-114
is a pneumatic Feed wheel tensioner designed for steel strapping of width 3/4 inch to 1-1/4 inch. It has been designed for securing irregular-shaped and round objects. With this pneumatic tensioner, the operator doesn’t have to apply any effort. It delivers uniform tensioning along with high level of precision by adjusting the air pressure regulator.

Technical Specifications

  • Strapping Type: High Tensile Steel Straps
  • Strapping Size: 3/4 inch to 1-1/4 inch width (0.020 to 0.044 thickness)
  • Weight: 8.1 pounds (3.7 kg)
  • Peak Tensioning Force: 1,600 pound (7,117 N)
  • Seal Type: Metal Push or Closed Seal

If you are looking for one of the most powerful pneumatic tools
, the Signode PN2-114 is the ideal choice of steel strapping tensioners. Because it is a tensioner, it will need a compatible sealer to complete your strapping needs.

Compatible Sealer

The grip pack 114 tensioner
is a complementing sealer for these signode tools. Because the tools are quite lightweight, there is no need for counter balancing them for mobility. But you can also use a single combination tool to complete the entire process of tensioning and sealing. Signode has a solution in the form of the PRHR-114. It can be used for 3/4 inch to 1-1/4 inch steel strapping.

But the Signode PN2-114 is a lightweight tool and helps increasing mobility. Operators can move around in the warehouse without any difficulty and complete their tasks wherever required. On the other hand, the PRHR-114 is heavy weight and limits mobility.

Such pneumatic tools
my help in increasing speed and delivering high level of tensioning force, they will still have air lines that can be hindering at times. There is a growing trend for using battery-powered tensioners and sealers. But these tools cannot offer the power delivered by a pneumatic tensioner or combination tool.

Advantages

There are many advantages of using the this Feed wheel tensioner
:

  • Highly Reliable – The PN2-114 offers high level performance in different types of steel applications. It is capable of endless strap teak-up and offers precision tensioning. You can move from one shift to another without worrying about reliability.
  • Ease of Maintenance – It takes less than 60 seconds to replace the feedwheel. You will not have to worry much about maintenance and tool repair.

  • High Durability – The Signode PN2-114 has all-metal alloy accessories.
    This not only helps in minimizing maintenance needs, it also helps prolong lifecycle.

Battery Strapping Tools

Safe & Versatile Battery Strapping Tool for Different Industries

The latest Battery Strapping Tool systems are designed for use with different types and widths of straps. Some units can even be used with straps of multiple widths including 3/4, 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 inch. Most of them are designed for mid-duty applications and feature the latest brushless motor technology and Li-ion batteries.

Ease of Use

A Battery Strapping Tool is recommended over traditional pneumatic and manual systems because of many reasons. One among them is ease of use. Some battery-run strapping tools are available in multiple versions. The designs help ensure more time saving and high level of convenience. Battery tools are specifically value for their lightweight and ergonomic designs. This helps in reducing strain on the hands so that the units can be used for longer periods. Besides, this also makes them portable and easily maneuverable.

There is no need for using air. Besides the weight advantage, users don’t have to work around wires which could otherwise get entangled and affect efficiency and productivity.

Highly Reliable Battery Technology

The new-age work environments require tools that can be recharged faster. These new battery-powered tools can be recharged to their 80% levels within 15-20 minutes. This helps in ensuring that the tools can be back in operation within a few minutes. This helps in further giving a boost to efficiency and productivity.

Better Control Over Tensioning

Another advantage of these new technology units is that they help in giving users high level of control over strap tensioning and weld strength. Users can easily adjust these two factors. The weld cycle and strength can also be preset depending on the needs.

High Level of Safety

Another advantage of using Battery Strapping Tool
units is that they help in enhancing safety in the workplace. This is especially crucial in an environment where high level of tensioning force is involved. The automatic mode is the most reliable options for getting optimal safety. The joint weld technique ensures highly secure sealing, which also helps in reducing wear. The safety feature ensures that operators’ hands always remain safe.

Enhanced Productivity

While traditional pneumatic systems have been preferred for heavy duty environments, new Battery Strapping Tool
systems are taking over the job from them. They are highly powerful enough to be used with both steel and non-ferrous metals. Besides, these new systems can offer high level of consistency, which has always been an issue.

Fromm P326: The Battery Powered Combination Tool

The Fromm P-326 is a well-designed combination tool with a balanced weight distribution, making it ideal for people to lift the 15 pound tool on a regular basis without strain. It has a battery powered operation with great shock absorption that reduces potential damage due to the tool. This device is a combination tool that performs various functions for packaging goods so that the individual does not have to use multiple tools to complete the task.

P326

The Fromm P326 will be a worker’s best friend as it can be operated without requiring any compressor or electrical outlet. The battery operated function makes it much easier to handle. This combination tool is known to provide tension greater than or at least equal to most pneumatic strapping tools.

It also functions as a seal-less combination tool that applies a friction weld seal to fasten the strappings. Friction welding is a sealing process that generates heat through friction by rubbing a stationary object with a mobile work piece. The heat that is generated is then used to fuse the two materials together. This is more like a forging technique as no materials are actually melted.

The Fromm P326 can function with two strapping types: Polyester and Polypropylene, and can handle strap dimensions of ½”-5/8””x .016 -.041”. The tension that can be exerted by this machine can vary somewhere between 300-2400 N. The amount of force that you want to exert can be easily adjusted. The features that make this device so special are:

  • An ergonomic design
  • A thin handle which make the handling of the device much easier
  • One handed operation is possible
  • Adjustable sealing time and force to be exerted
  • High tension can be exerted by the device at an adjustable speed
  • Battery powered functioning which can be easily exchanged
  • Friction welding which does not requires any seals
  • Welding lever that locks into position

These unique features of this device make it quite easy to handle and quite popular with professionals of all kinds. Upon purchasing the device, you also receive two batteries and a charger which are quite useful in reducing the downtime of the device.

The powerful 18V motor that this device has is run with the latest lithium ion technology for the best effects. The batteries will last for around 3000 charges which make this a long term investment.
