Pacmasta S.Notch Side Action Sealer-19mm

Description

The Pacmasta S.Notch side action sealer 19mm is a purpose-built hand tool for sealing 19mm steel strapping in situations where a conventional top-action sealer cannot be used. By engaging the strap joint from the side rather than from above, it gives operators a practical solution for confined, awkward, or overhead-restricted working positions without compromising joint quality.

Key Features of the S.Notch Side Action Sealer 19mm

Engineered for reliability in the field and on the production floor, this S.Notch side action sealer 19mm includes the following features:

• Designed specifically for 19mm steel strapping
• Single-notch sealing action produces a clean, mechanically interlocked crimp through both strap layers and the seal simultaneously
• Side action mechanism allows the operator to engage the seal from the side, making it well suited to loads where the top surface is obstructed or overhead access is limited
• Compatible with PN-1957 heavy duty pusher seals – the correct matched seal for 19mm steel strapping applications
• Manual hand tool requiring no power source, suitable for site work, freight yards, and production environments

How the Side Action Sealing Method Works

Once the strap has been tensioned around a load, a PN-1957 pusher seal is positioned over the overlapping strap ends. The S.Notch side action sealer 19mm is then engaged from the side, and its jaws crimp a single notch through both layers of strap and the seal at the same time. This creates a mechanically interlocked joint that holds the strap firmly in place without the need for welded or combination seals.

The side-entry design means the tool can be positioned against the strap joint from the side – a significant advantage when working with bundles, palletised loads, or structural sections where approaching from above is not straightforward. Using the matched PN-1957 seal ensures the notching action is consistent and produces a load-bearing joint every time. Always confirm that your steel strap width matches the 19mm specification before use to ensure a proper fit and reliable crimp.

Typical Applications

The S.Notch side action sealer 19mm is well suited to a broad range of industrial and commercial packaging tasks, including securing steel or timber products for transport, bundling pipe, bar, or structural sections, strapping palletised loads in warehousing and logistics, and banding construction materials on site. It is a standard hand tool in steel fabrication yards, timber mills, and general freight operations where 19mm steel strapping is part of the daily workflow. Any operation requiring a secure steel strap joint in a confined or restricted working position will benefit from the side action design of this tool.

To complete your 19mm steel strapping setup, the Pacmasta HD L/Handle Steel Tensioner To 19mm is a compatible tensioning tool designed to work alongside this sealer in the same application. Using both tools together gives you a matched, efficient workflow from tensioning through to final sealing on 19mm steel strap. Ensure the PN-1957 pusher seals are on hand before commencing work so the S.Notch side action sealer 19mm can perform as intended on every joint.
