Patent attributes
A strapping apparatus for strapping articles with a strapping band includes a base plate having a base surface for arranging on an article, a tensioning device for applying a band tension to the strapping band, the tensioning device having an actuable tensioning tool which can be brought into and out of contact with the band and a sealing device to permanently connect two band layers to each other. The sealing device includes a counter-holder surface for bearing against one side of the band and a sealing head for bearing against another side of the band while a seal is produced, and a clamp for clamping the band in the strapping apparatus. The strapping apparatus also produces a twist of the band in a band section adjoining the sealing device during production of the seal with respect to a longitudinal direction of the band.
