Closing the tensioned strap with a metal seal that will not open during transport is the final step that decides whether all the strapping work was worth it. This manual sealer for plastic strapping (PP and PET)—also called a strapping sealer or strap crimper—is manufactured by Maxtens in alloy steel with crimp-type closure, compatible with strapping 16 to 19 mm wide in any standard thickness, designed for warehouses, logistics, and industrial packing; it is used together with the strapping coil, the manual tensioner, and the metal seals to close the strapping cycle.
Key Benefits
- Firm crimp closure: the jaws deform the metal seal over the two layers of strap in a single squeeze, creating a joint that holds the applied tension for the entire journey.
- Alloy steel body: 2.3 kg of solid tool that transfers the force of the levers directly to the seal, squeeze after squeeze, without deforming.
- Compatible with 16 to 19 mm strapping: covers the two most common widths in metal-seal strapping, in PP and PET of any standard thickness.
- Consistent sealing without excessive effort: the long handles multiply the operator's force, producing complete, uniform crimps that do not depend on individual strength.
- Portable and consumption-free: no batteries, cables, or compressed air; it works wherever the load is, inside or outside the warehouse.
Typical Applications and Uses
- Strap closing in warehouse and distribution center palletizing.
- Export packaging with PET strapping and metal seals, where the joint must withstand high tension.
- Daily industrial packing in factories and workshops, paired with the manual tensioner.
- Strapping in the field, on site, or in loading areas, with no fixed workstation.
Quality and Durability
An inexpensive sealer fails at two points: the jaws do not align the crimp (the seal is left half-closed and slips under tension) and the joints develop play, demanding more and more force for a worse closure. Maxtens builds this sealer in alloy steel with machined jaws for a complete, centered crimp, and joints that hold their adjustment under intensive use, which separates a professional sealing tool from one that starts loosening seals within a few weeks.
