Abstract: The present invention relates to a plastics-material strapping band (4) for wrapping around one or more articles. The plastics-material strapping band has the following constituent parts: a) up to approximately 90% by weight polyester, b) approximately 1% by weight to 5% by weight polyolefin and c) approximately 5% by weight to 10% by weight fiber material. The invention also relates to a method for producing a plastics-material strapping band.

Abstract: A strapping machine has a housing carrying a mount attachable to an overhead balancer line, tensioning and sealing devices in the housing, and an elongated pivotal handle. An inner handle end is formed with an annular inlet passage and a radially throughgoing inlet port opening into the inlet passage. The handle also is formed with axially extending passages extending from the inlet passage to an outer handle end. A pneumatic motor in the outer handle end drives a transmission in the inner end of the handle in turn drives the devices in the housing. An inlet fitting on the housing is connectable to a compressed-air supply line. A conduit has one end communicating with the inlet fitting and an opposite end opening radially inward into the inlet port of the handle. The outer handle end is formed with an outlet opening for venting air from the motor.
