Packaging irregular objects can be tricky. Round, narrow and awkward shaped packages can be difficult to strap and package for transit. Signode PN2-114 is a pneumatic feedwheel push type tensioner used with steel strapping that has solved this banding problem. The PN2-114 is considered very efficient with unlimited strap take up and a quick disconnect plug for safety.pn2-114_DONE-275x245

This tool is very useful for those industries where the workers on constantly on the go and have to carry the tools from place to place. The PN2-114 can be transported easily without causing fatigue to the worker. According to industry users, the only disadvantage to this tool is that it is not a combination tool and has to be used with a pneumatic sealer. This is a standard tool used in many steel and metal industries.

The PN2-114 is preferred by many industries for its precise and uniform tension. This tool need not be counter balanced and is very light. It is best to use a combination tool that can do the tensioning, sealing and cutting in one go instead of having a separate sealer and cutter separately. An ideal alternative to the PN2-114 is Signode PRHR-114 which is a combination steel strapping tool. This uses steel banding that is ¾” – 1 ¼”.

The biggest disadvantage in using pneumatic tools, however, are the airlines that drag around the work room floor, hindering workers. They are also the cause of minor accidents in the work place where workers often trip and fall due the wires on the floor. To eliminate this problem, battery operated tools have been introduced and these are being used by many in the industry.

Signode battery powered Grip Pack 114 Tensioner is the ideal replacement for the PN2-114. The Grip Pack 114 sealer can be used effectively with this tensioner. The recent trend in the market is to switch to pneumatic combination tools and the PN2-114 is very popular in these industries as it is the best push type tensioner. As the industries want to do away with three types of tools to do a job, most of them are changing to combination tools. The pneumatic combination tool that is considered the best presently to take over the PN2-114 is the SCMH-34 from Signode. It does the tensioning, sealing and cutting at the stroke of a button in matter of seconds.
