Pacmasta S.Notch Side Action Sealer-19mm

Description

The side action sealer 19mm single notch is a purpose-built hand tool for sealing 19mm steel strapping in industrial and packaging environments. It produces a single notch crimp through a PN-1957 heavy duty pusher seal, locking the strap joint firmly in place without any power source required. Its defining advantage over a conventional top-action sealer is the side-entry jaw mechanism, which gives operators clear access to the strap joint even when clearance above it is limited.

Key Features of the Side Action Sealer 19mm Single Notch

The features below reflect the design and intended use of this side action sealer 19mm single notch tool.

• Designed for 19mm steel strapping – matches the standard steel strap width used across general industrial and heavy packaging applications.
• Single notch crimping action – the jaw cuts a single notch crimp into the seal and the strap beneath it, securing the joint reliably with each operation.
• Side action jaw mechanism – the jaw operates from the side rather than from above, giving the operator access in confined or awkward strapping positions where a top-action sealer would be obstructed.
• Compatible with PN-1957 heavy duty pusher seals – these seals are matched to 19mm steel strapping and are designed for applications requiring high joint strength.
• Hand-operated – no power source required, making the tool practical for use anywhere on site without relying on electricity or compressed air.

How the Side Action Mechanism Works

Once steel strapping has been tensioned around a load using a separate tensioner tool, a PN-1957 pusher seal is placed over the strap overlap. The side action sealer 19mm single notch is then positioned over the seal, and the operator squeezes the handle to drive the side-entry jaw through the seal and strap, producing the single notch crimp that locks the joint securely.

The side-entry jaw orientation is particularly useful when strapping loads that sit close to a wall, rack, or other fixed structure where there is limited clearance above the strap joint. In these situations, the side action sealer 19mm gives the operator access that a conventional top-action tool cannot provide, without requiring the load to be repositioned.

Typical Applications

The side action sealer 19mm single notch suits any operation that uses 19mm steel strapping as its primary bundling or unitising method. Common applications include securing timber packs and hardwood bundles, closing steel coils and fabricated metal components, strapping bricks, pavers, and masonry products, and unitising heavy industrial goods on pallets prior to transport or storage. The side action design is especially practical for strapping in restricted spaces or against fixed structures where access above the strap joint is limited.

Part of a Complete Steel Strapping System

This side action sealer 19mm single notch is intended to work as part of a complete hand-tool steel strapping workflow. For consistent results, pre-tension the strap with a compatible steel tensioner before sealing, and use the correct PN-1957 heavy duty pusher seals. The Pacmasta HD L/Handle Steel Tensioner To 19mm is a compatible tensioning tool that works directly alongside this sealer in a standard hand-tool strapping workflow. Together, these two tools provide a complete hand-operated solution for 19mm steel strapping across industrial and packaging environments.
