Band-IT will help you to find a cost-effective, tested solution that exceeds your performance requirements and helps cut costs. Pre-cut Band-IT clamps reduce hand injuries at QTEQ. QTEQ's aim of decreasing hand injuries started with gloves but concluded with an easy solution.

Band-IT can make solutions for all the specific applications. When QTEQ launched a program to decrease hand injuries they started with the obvious: Gloves. With several injuries occurring due to punctured gloves, they concentrated on improvements to their line of personal protective equipment (PPE). They tested a variety of brands and models of gloves but found that regardless of the gloves they tried, they were being worn through quickly which increased costs, waste, and risk of injury.

What if the gloves aren't the problem?

Band-IT clamps and all other products are popular with the application. The gloves were developing tears that are tested by QTEQ and they realized, their investigation changed focus to seem at the materials being handled by the gloves. They quickly realized that some staff was wearing gloves faster than others.

The focus turned to the banding product. QTEQ was using 100-foot coils of Sign fix 201 stainless steel which they would cut to size with pneumatic jaws. When they examined the cut band, they noticed the jaws left extremely sharp points and edges that might easily tear and rip gloves, clothes, and skin. When installing 1000's of bands each week, QTEQ realized that injuries weren't an issue of "if", but "when". The solution from Band-IT.

Switch to pre-cut bands

QTEQ approached BAND-IT for the better way to the sharp edges that were the results of cutting roll band to length. The solution? Switching to pre-cut BAND-IT Clamps with seals since the pre-cut bands had a smoother finished edge than the bands cut to length on-site. While the bands were more expensive to purchase, the benefits were immediate.

Band-IT is always the best option for clamps and fasteners. BAND-FAST clamps are a superior choice for many reasons. The advantages and qualities cannot match with any other similar brands. The lower profile of finished cable runs saves space, and the PPA coating reduces the risk of damaging cables as they are pulled.

By using Band-IT C075 installation tool, the captive sealing clip is quickly and precisely locked into place when fastening, Overall, labor is reduced by 50%, compared to installing cleats. When it comes to the costs, it’s simple: Clamps are less expensive than cable cleats. And also cutting the labor costs also.

That difference really adds up when you consider that there are more than 40,000 fixing points on the Aker H-6e. The main specifications of Band-IT BAND-FAST used on the Aker H-6e Rig. It is made up of 316 Stainless Steel and it is 5/8" wide. PPA 571 Coating: halogen-free, low smoke & fume DNV and GL Type approved materials.

One dilemma with cleats is that you need to invest in a comprehensive stock to accommodate different sizes of wires. BAND-FAST clamps easily adjust to accommodate a wide range of cables and will hold single, trefoil, and Quadra foil configurations. By going with clamps instead of cleats, Aker was able to drastically reduce their inventory.

A bonus is that the reduced weight of materials on rig leads to increased production capability. More than just cost savings Any reduction in risk is welcome in the Oil & Gas industry. BAND-FAST clamps are light and easy to carry, which is precisely the opposite of cleats. Their low weight translates into reduced fatigue and less stress-related injuries.

There’s no danger of being hit by an accidentally dropped cleat, and in this case, Aker further reduced drop-risk by adding a wrist strap to the installation tool – a simple yet important solution. Band-IT is always focusing on customer satisfaction and needs. That's why they are maintaining their standards and quality on all of their products.

This product can be saved 20 minutes from every installation. By the way, there must be a big difference in the complete installation time. 

Installation: xe4809 from pneumatic combination tool. BAND-IT recommends the XE4809 Fromm tool which tensions, seals, and cuts the bands for installing the 3/4" (19mm) BAND-FAST bands with seals. Plastic cable ties can't withstand harsh environments. Therefore, stainless steel cable ties developed by Band-IT. and stainless steel cable ties replaced plastic ties in a harsh environment.

Band-it cable ties made from high-quality metals. Due to the highly-corrosive atmosphere, as even 304 stainless steel is subject to rust after an extended period, the conditions in the refinery complex are unique. Because of this, the specific requirement was for high-strength, durable clamping solutions to cater for these challenging conditions. At first, the company was using plastic cable ties for the facility’s electric cables. Plastic cable ties are proved not durable in the harsh operating environment.

Over a five-month period, Banding & ID Solutions Africa has been upgrading the tying system used on the cables at the refinery complex using a mixture of reusable Band-It cable ties. To date, it has supplied about 10,000 reusable Band-It cable ties to the company.
