Banding equipment is the unsung hero of many businesses. Often unnoticed, it plays an integral role in keeping countless industries safe and secure, with most people not even giving it a second thought. It’s range of applications are wide and varied, here are just five of them:
Band-It Ultra-Lok Clamps Have Been Used to Deter Cable Thieves
Theft of cables, be they fibre optic, copper, or of other constitution, is a growing problem in Ireland. Not only does it cost facilities money, it can be extremely disruptive, sometimes shutting down a production process entirely until the stolen cables are replaced. Naturally, this can have major financial implications for businesses. Band-It Ultra-Lok clamps can act as a major deterrent to would-be cable thieves. It is recommended that these tamper-resistant clamps are placed at 150mm of cabling to secure them against theft (as well as generally helping to keep the cabling safe and tidy).
Effective Tie-Loks for the Automotive Industry
For mechanics in the automotive industry, Band-It Tie-Loks make for an efficient, and highly effective, alternative to welding in some situations. Not only does it require less specialised equipment (and qualified staff), Band-It Tie-Loks are resistant to road salt, de-icing liquids, and other corrosive forces encountered on the road. They are designed so as to contract and expand in response to the thermal conditions around a vehicle’s exhaust.
Corrosion-Resistant Banding Equipment for the Marine Industry
When working with ocean-going vessels, you need assurance that the ties you’re using will stand up to the rigors of life at sea. It’s certainly not an area you can afford to cut corners in when it comes to ship maintenance. Band-It can supply a range of tie and steel bands specially engineered to be resistant to the corrosive forces encountered in the water.
Trusted Banding Solutions for the Aerospace Industry
As with the sea, the aerospace industry is not an area you want to take chances in when it comes to banding equipment. Lightweight without compromising on high loop tensile strength, and resistant to thermal shock, corrosion, and vibration, Band-It clamping tools are trusted components within the aerospace industry, they’ve even been used on space shuttles!
Banding Equipment for Pipelines
Oil and gas pipelines are another area where you don’t want to take chances when it comes to securing equipment; one loose band can spell disaster for those nearby and the local environment. Once again, Band-It clamping tools are at the forefront when it comes to providing trusted banding solutions that will stand up to the stresses required to keep pipelines safe, secure, and functional.
This is of course but a quick cross-section of the many, many uses various industries put Band-It tools too. If you’re considering using Band-It for your project, contact our team today on 0402 32116 or email sales@mahealy.ie.
