Antalis Packaging has expanded its range of strapping solutions with the Master’in Viper Hand Strapping Tool, featuring a lightweight design said to deliver ‘effortless’ handling in demanding warehouse environments.
The company says the new solution was designed with efficiency, precision, and user comfort in mind. The battery-powered Viper features a touch-sensitive interface aiming to simplify the strapping process for operators at every skill level.
According to Antalis, key benefits of the new product include a high-definition colour screen with clear, intuitive icons; a front-facing display for real-time tension values; configurable settings in newtons, kilograms, or pounds and adjustable cooling time for consistently strong welds. The Viper also features a “soft” mode for safely securing light or delicate loads and is supplied with two Makita 18V – 3Ah batteries. Antalis adds that the solution includes an Li-Ion Akku Power battery charger.
The Viper is the third option in Antalis’ existing Master’in hand strapping devices range, said to be suitable for a wide variety of applications, from pallets and metal profiles to construction and building materials. Antalis states that the high-definition colour display enables operators to view instant tension readings, eliminating guesswork and ensuring every strap is ‘tightened to the perfect level’.
Steve Marples, category manager at Antalis, adds: “Customers looking for tailored recommendations can also take advantage of smartCONSULT, Antalis’ specialist advisory service, where Antalis’ machinery experts assess needs and recommend the most effective and cost-efficient solutions for your operation.”
In October last year, the company introduced an expandable mailing bag made by Jiffy, featuring ‘flex-to-fit’ Hexpand technology and designed to fit snugly around products, eliminating the need for oversized boxes and unnecessary padding. Antalis says key features of the bag include up to 2.5 times the capacity of standard paper mailers, horizontal and vertical expandable gussets and 3 size options.
The same month, Mosca expanded its entry-level portfolio with the launch of a new entry-level strapping machine, SoniXs XT. Equipped with the ultrasonic sealing unit also used in Mosca’s fully automated machines, the system can process both PP and PET straps with what the company describes as “maximum availability.”
