Description
The Pacmasta double notch sealer 16mm steel strap tool is a heavy-duty hand sealer built specifically to apply secure double-notch closures on 16mm steel strapping. Designed for use with CS-16 snap-on seals, it suits industrial and packaging operations that depend on steel strapping to hold heavy or high-value loads securely during storage and transit.
Key Features of the Double Notch Sealer 16mm Steel Strap Tool
- Heavy-duty construction suited to sustained use in demanding industrial environments
- Designed specifically for 16mm steel strapping – not interchangeable with other strap widths
- Compatible with CS-16 snap-on seals for a straightforward, repeatable sealing process
- Double-notch action presses two notches simultaneously, producing a stronger and more secure joint than a single-notch tool
- Compact tool dimensions (34mm × 12mm × 5mm) make it easy to handle and manoeuvre on the job
How It Works
Once your steel strapping has been tensioned around the load, a CS-16 snap-on seal is placed over the overlapping strap ends. The double notch sealer 16mm steel strap tool is then positioned over the seal and the handles are squeezed, pressing two notches simultaneously into both the seal and the strap. This interlocking connection resists slippage and maintains holding strength even under load movement or vibration during transit.
The double-notch method provides greater joint efficiency compared to single-notch sealing, meaning the strap is less likely to pull free at the seal point under stress. It is widely regarded as the standard approach for steel strapping applications where load security is a priority.
Typical Applications
The double notch sealer 16mm steel strap suits a broad range of industrial packaging and load-securing tasks. Common uses include bundling timber, steel sections, and pipes; securing palletised goods for storage or transport; strapping fabricated metal components for shipment; and reinforcing loads on flatbed vehicles or in containers. Any application specifying 16mm steel strapping will benefit from a purpose-built, matched sealing tool.
Compatibility and Consumables
This sealer is designed to work as part of a complete 16mm steel strapping system. It requires CS-16 snap-on seals, which are placed over the strap ends before sealing. Using the correct seal size with a properly matched tool ensures a consistent, full-depth notch and helps avoid seal deformation or incomplete closures. Always confirm your steel strapping width is 16mm before selecting this tool, as sealers are not interchangeable across strap widths.
If your operation requires sealing on 19mm steel strapping, the Pacmasta D.Notch HD L/Handle Sealer for 19mm steel strap is available separately and covers the next common strap size up. Matching the right double notch sealer to your 16mm steel strap width is an important step in maintaining a safe and consistent strapping process across your facility.
