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

Choosing Biodegradable Plastics

Image
Becoming more sustainable is one of the core goals of many businesses as more consumers become environmentally aware, and packaging is a great place to start. However, making the best sustainable packaging choices for your business can be challenging – there are so many options out there.  Plastics are often touted as one of the key pollutants of our seas and oceans – with up to 8 million tons ending up in marine environments each year. However, many businesses still have a need for it, so it makes sense that they may go in search of eco-friendly plastic alternatives. This is where things can become complex. Not all “green” plastics are as environmentally friendly as they seem… Commonly, many companies will interchange the terms biodegradable, bioplastic and compostable when discussing packaging but this can be misleading. Confusion around these terms can then lead to misconceptions about the disposal of so-called biodegradable materials. So, what’s the difference?   Bio-based, B
