Manually-operated sealersare used for securing a seal over the tightened strappings wrapped around an item in locations having limited power source access. These sealers can be easily carried to bundle & secure items for shipment & storage. Midwest Industrial Packaging (MIP) MIP-3000-34 is a heavy-duty strap sealer used for crimping and securing strapping seals over steel strappings.
Working Mechanism:
- Wrap a steel strapping around the item to be secured.
- Choose an appropriate push-type seal and insert it through both the ends of strapping.
- Select a steel strapping tensioner & slide it onto the strap from one side.
- Tighten the strapping using the tensioner.
- Slide this side-action sealer's lower handle on the flat surface of the item being strapped and apply the weight of both hands on the upper handle to crimp one side of the seal.
- Repeat the previous step from the opposite side of the seal to completely crimp the seal.
- Cut the excess strap end at the top. Now the strap is securely fixed on the item for storage or transport.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between open & closed type seals used in strapping?
A. Open (Snap-On) seals are majorly applied on polypropylene straps and work primarily on flat surfaces. Closed (Push-On) seals are majorly used on steel straps for irregular or rounded objects. These closed seals are installed before tension is applied over the steel strap ends for keeping them in line during tensioning.
