Simrip 3 Top ✪

For new operators, mastering the SimRip 3 Top takes about 15 minutes. Follow this workflow for perfect straps every time.

Step 1: Strap Preparation
Cut your PET or PP strap to length, allowing a 10-15cm overlap. Wrap the strap around your load and insert both ends into the tool’s strap channel.

Step 2: Tensioning
Position the tool flat against the load. Pump the tensioning handle back and forth. The dual-gear system will click on each stroke. Continue until the desired tension is reached—you’ll hear the pitch of the strap change.

Step 3: Sealing (Friction Weld)
Without releasing tension, flip the sealing lever forward. Then, pump the sealing handle vigorously 4-5 times. You’ll feel the friction head vibrate. This melts the strap fibers together. simrip 3 top

Step 4: Cut and Release
Pull the cut-off lever to trim the excess strap tail. Finally, open the tension release lever and remove the tool. Inspect the weld—it should appear as a smooth, slightly darkened rectangle.

Pro Tip: Always perform a one-minute preventive check before your first strap of the day (see maintenance section below).
