Why does Sorsa's TIG Welding Strapping Define the Industry Standard?
In the steel industry, securing heavy loads is not just logistics, it's product safety and integrity. Strapping is the last line of defense, and the quality of that bond is everything.
Many systems rely on seals or stamped strapping joints, which have a strapping efficiency of 60 to 80% of the strapping strength used. But at Sorsa, we go a step further.
As leading manufacturers of strapping and automated strapping systems, We understand that the strapping joint is the most critical point. That's why our strapping heads incorporate the most advanced and robust technology: TIG welding (GTAW).
Why is TIG welding the strapping the most efficient and superior solution on the market?
- Integrity and Absolute Resistance
TIG welding melts the ends of the strip, creating a complete metallurgical union and of very high purity.
- Result: Unlike mechanical seals, this joint is as strong as the strapping itself. It eliminates the risk of breakage at the joint, which is critical when handling coils, tubes, and steel profiles weighing several tons.
- Operational Efficiency: Zero Waste
The TIG process is clean. It does not generate spatter or slag.
- Result: Our strapping heads operate with a exceptional reliability and require minimal maintenance. With no residue clogging the sealing mechanisms, high uptime is guaranteed on lines that cannot afford to stop. ⏱️
- Consistent and Precise Quality
The TIG arc is stable and precise, ensuring identical welding in every strapping cycle.
- Result: The Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) in the strapping is minimized, while maintaining its mechanical properties. A repetitive quality which guarantees the safety of each package.
Therefore, we can guarantee a minimum sealing efficiency of 95%. This means that the cost of strapping can be reduced by approximately 15 to 25%. In other words, it has a surprisingly fast payback period.
At Sorsa, we design the complete system to ensure a perfect weld. The integration of TIG welding into our welding heads is our guarantee of quality. maximum efficiency and safety for the steel industry.
