Quick Pak’s Service Department Maintenance tips to increase the longevity and performance of your strapping tools.

Keep Tools Clean - Following a cleaning schedule for handheld strapping tools when they are not in use will prevent jams and other issues. At least once a week, make sure to blow the tool out with compressed air to prevent debris and dust buildup. It is also recommended to clean the tooth plate and tension wheel with a brass cleaning brush after each shift.

Charge Batteries - Battery life can be prolonged by charging batteries before storage. It is also a good habit to get into, so you have freshly charged batteries for the next time you or your team members need the tool. Batteries will have to be replaced eventually, with most lasting up to at least 1,000 charges.

User Training - Over 50% of repairs are caused by drops and improper use. Misusing the tool can quickly increase wear and tear. Operator training is an extremely important part of protecting your strapping tool.

Use the Right Material - Using steel banding is dangerous and will ruin the tensioning, welding, and cutting components. Always use polyester or polypropylene strapping with the right thickness and break strength for your tool.

Tool Storage - Having a dedicated place for safely storing your strapping tools can help to prevent damage. It is good practice to keep your tool on a STRAPPING CART designed for holding and dispensing strapping.

Replace and Recalibrate - If a part is worn or broken, make sure you stop using the tool and replace the part right away. We also recommend periodic inspections to recalibrate and test the tool. This can be done by our service dept at 813 242 6995 or sales@quickpakinc.com

Why Reinforced Edges on Pallet Wrap?

But not all pallet wraps are created equal. The inclusion of reinforced edges makes some stretch films stand out in the realm of shipment protection. So, what exactly does this mean, and why should businesses care? Before delving into the specifics of reinforced edges, it is essential to understand the role of pallet wrap. The primary purpose of wrapping pallets is to stabilize and secure products during transportation or storage. Pallet wrap must be durable and resilient to withstand a variety of stresses, including load shifting, vibrations, and even environmental factors like moisture and dust. Reinforced edges refer to the additional strengthening material along the sides of the pallet wrap. This can be in the form of a band of thicker plastic or a mesh-like strip ...
