Sack tape stops beans being spilled

PICK-UP bed loaded with open feed sacks, driver swings round the corner too fast, sacks and meal spill everywhere.

The Novem Multi Sealer, from Limpet Tapes, is designed to keep sack contents where they should be – in the bag.

In a single action, the device applies 12mm (0.5in) of self-adhesive band to create an air-tight seal around the neck. Limpet reckons that the system makes either twist ties, fiddly manual taping or time consuming twine tying a thing of the past.

Each roll of Multi Sealer tape provides over 180 seals, and the refill rolls are supplied in a 24-roll pack.

Price of a starter kit – which comprises a Multi Sealer and pack of 24 refills – is £17.95 (01480-459461).
