Features and Benefits
- Maximizes performance
The AK200 strapping head combines the superior characteristics of Tenax strapping with Signode’s patented friction-weld technology to ensure reliable and consistent joints for optimal stability throughout the transportation cycle. - Ensures sustainability
The AK200 utilizes plastic strapping that is manufactured with recycled content and is also recyclable. This, coupled with weld technology that eliminates hazardous emissions during cycling, makes the AK200 an environmentally-friendly option. - Maintains production consistency
Standard features like a large feed and take-up wheel ensure optimum strap feed and consistently high applied strap tension.
