SUCCESS WITH THE WELD JOINT TECHNOLOGY

In November 2005 a large beam mill in Berkeley, South Carolina installed three new Itipack SKE Strapping Systems with VS-32 Weld Sealing Heads. The following is a list of paybacks through their partnership with Itipack Systems:

• One less band is needed per bundle due to the strength of the weld seal. This has resulted in a savings of $360,000.00 per year in strap consumables.
• Due to strap breakage, the mill lost nearly 310 tons of steel product during transit and shipping. Since adopting the weld seal, no bands have been broken decreasing damages and lost product.
• Via the old Sealess-joint banding head system, 239 jaw rebuilds were performed each taking 1 hour totaling $7,000 in labour and over $100,000 in replacement parts.
