From its original pioneering work in strapping technology 95 years ago to its present global scale of operation, Signode is outstanding in the field of packaging technology. Early in 2008 the company achieved another milestone: the 1,000th AK 200 HD 25 head was delivered to Hertwich Engineering in Austria in February 2008.rnMany AK heads have been installed in the aluminium industry, where they are renowned for their low purchase and running costs, their reliability and the high applied strap tension. Recent equipment sales include orders from the new Quatar smelter and also from the Oman smelter which is fully equipped with AK 200 HD, to mention just some few examples.rnThis heavy-duty strapping head range for Tenax polyester strapping, installed in aluminium smelters all over the world, is being extended with a new model, the AK 200 HDX: this, in response to the Signode non-ferrous specialist team's observation of a market trend towards heavier billets, up to 685 mm diameter.
