Pneumatic strapping tools, which were quite a rage even few years back, are no longer considered operator favorites. Those who have used pneumatic strapping tools often complain about their excessive weight and lack of portability. The pneumatic option doesn’t prove to be a convenient one, especially if your application demands carrying the tool from one place to other.

With battery powered tensioners like the Grip Pack Tensioner from Signode, both issues have been addressed successfully. Simple to operate and easy to carry, operators seldom have complaints about this device. Armed with varied features and options, this pusher style tensioner has become a mandatory option for varied types of industrial applications.

Technical parameters of Grippack 114 Tensioner:

• The tensioner can be used on Magnus or Apex Plus steel strapping.
• Strap width varies between 3/4″ – 1-1/4″ whereas thickness between 0.025″ to 0.031″
• Weight of the machine is only 8.5 lbs.
• The device is powered by 18V Lithium ion battery
• The fact that it offers adjustable tension force in the range of 3600N to 6670N guarantees enough operational flexibility.

Designed to support a wide range of packaging applications like aluminum coils, steel rods, tubes, pipes, ingots, etc, this tensioner is highly favored for its low weight and extreme portability. Because of its single button operation, the operator hardly faces any problem handling the machine. The tension can be adjusted easily. There is a light indicator which specifies the battery charge level. Not only efficiency in operation but by shifting to this Grip Pack Tensioner, the buyer benefits economically too. Being robustly constructed this tensioner requires minimal repair/ maintenance. Hence the user doesn’t need to incur regular maintenance expenses. Here are few reasons why this Grip Pack tool is a better option than pneumatic strapping tools:

• The highly advanced Lithium ion BOSCH battery of 18V supports approx. 120 strapping cycles per battery charge.
• Air generation costs or inconsistencies, very common with pneumatically driven tools, are totally absent in this battery powered tensioner.
• Extremely lightweight and doesn’t cause operator fatigue.

The Grip Pack 114 Tensioner needs to be paired with Grip Pack 114 Sealer, to complete the strapping action.
