Abstract
A strapping unit for wrapping a tightening strap around a packaged item has a base plate, a tensioning device, a sealing device and a separating device. The tensioning device is provided with an actuable tensioning tool being fastened releaseably to the strapping unit by at least one fastening element. The sealing device is provided with a single- or multi-part sealing tool being fitted on the strapping unit by at least one releaseable, further fastening element. The separating device has a blade which can be brought into contact with the strap. At least part of the separating device is fitted releaseably on the strapping unit by at least one further, releaseable fastening element. The fastening elements are of a design which enables the fastening elements to be actuated by the same tool. Worn parts can therefore be swapped with very little maintenance effort.
