METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BUNDLING STEEL COILS AND BINDING TAPE FOR THIS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for bundling or strapping objects, in particular steel coils, wherein a binding tape made of a composite material comprising continuous fibres and a thermoplastic material and having a width of from 10 to 15 mm and a thickness of from 100 to 300 µm is placed around the object, in particular the steel coil, thereby forming overlapping ends of the binding tape, and in the region of the overlapping ends heat is applied to the ends of the binding tape lying one on top of the other, in such a way that the thermoplastic material softens, and pressure is subsequently exerted over the surface area of the softened region in such a way that the ends of the binding tape are pressed against each other, and it relates to a device for carrying out the method and to a binding tape for this.
