Increased safety and simplified handling with SCA Pure Smart Strap

  • News

"SCA´s vision is that no one should get hurt at work and that everyone should come home unharmed in good health, says Jessica Sjöberg, Productspecialist SCA Pure.

We want to take that vision with us to our customers. SCA Pure Smart Strap is a fiber-based solution replacing metal wires. A solution that has been on several of our customers' wish lists, which we can now offer in our home market”, says Agnes Åkerlund, Sales Manager Nordic Countries & UK. 

Removing the metal wires might be risky and can also be time-consuming extra work. Paper- straped pulp bales requires neither automatic nor manual de-threading, the bale can be fed into the process with the paper straps remaining. The straps consist of fibers and glue that dissolve with the pulp. In addition, from a sustainability perspective, it is important to avoid metal in the process.

“So, no more metal that needs to be removed. And no more risk of harm to people or production equipment. Just drop the entire bales - sheets and straps together - into the pulper”, concludes Jessica Sjöberg, Product Manager.

The most important customer benefits:

  • Improved safety
  • The paper straps are dissolvable
  • Eliminates the need to remove and handle waste of metal baling wires
  • Reduced handling costs
