Signode’s pneumatic tensioners have found a top spot in the steel strapping industry. The precision of the Signode PN2-114 feedwheel tensioner is so popular that it is highly recommended by industry experts. This tool comes highly recommended as it takes almost all the effort out of strapping large compressible packages.
The Signode PN2-114 is a pneumatic tensioner that lets compressed air do most of the work. When the seals are in awkward positions this pneumatic tool comes to the rescue. It helps to achieve high production on heavy strapping. This helps to increase efficiency in production, especially when productivity has to be maximized.
The advantages of using a pneumatic tensioner include:
- Easy operation
- Ergonomically designed
- Feed-wheel can be replaced very quickly
- Light weight
- Easy to maintain
- Very reliable
- Uniform and precise tensioning
In large industries, where the amount of work is much higher, they rely on the pneumatic tools as it makes tensioning uniform by adjusting the air pressure regulator. The PN2-114 is also the best opted tensioner for round or irregular shaped packages. For these applications, the PN2-114 is easily hand held and mobile. It makes for easy transit from one place to another, because in large industries workers tend to be busy and a lightweight tool makes much of their work easier. Since it is a light-weight tool it does not need to be counter balanced. This is also one of the reasons that it has become a standard tool to be used in the steel strapping industry.

Though pneumatic tools are very efficient and fast in application, the disadvantage here would be that the air lines constantly drag on the floor of the strapping area. In order to provide a safer environment and to avoid this, battery powered sealers and tensioners provide the same strapping results. The battery powered counterpart of the PN2-114 is the Signode Grip Pack114 tensioner and Signode Grip pack 114 sealer.
Most companies are now aware of the benefits of pneumatic combination tools. As it greatly reduces the number of air lines around the work room utilizing one line for all strapping procedures it is highly preferred. However, industry experts have a high opinion about the PN2-114 and recommend this tool as it is the best for pneumatic push type tensioners. All pneumatic tensioners have an unlimited strap take-up and are also furnished with a quick disconnect plug. This versatile tool is highly durable and very easy to handle.
