Frequently Asked Questions
How many clamps are in a box of HSM 6127990101?
Each box holds 1,000 clamps and weighs 12 kg, about 26.5 lb. HSM does not offer a smaller pack. Since each strap uses one clamp, a box covers 1,000 straps, or 500 bales on a press that applies two straps per bale.
Which HSM balers use these tape clamps?
Any HSM press that straps with HSM polyester tape. HSM lists article 6127990101 next to its WG 30, WG 40, WG 55, WG 65 and HD 65 tapes rather than against specific press models. If in doubt, confirm with HSM using your machine's serial number.
Can I use HSM tape clamps on a wire-tied baler?
No. Clamps only close polyester tape. HSM's wire-tied V-Press 840, 860 and 1160 use pre-looped eyelet wire, and the VK channel balers use coiled wire such as the 2.8 mm coil, article 6652993500.
Are generic strapping seals a safe substitute for HSM clamps?
We would not rely on them. HSM does not publish the clamp's dimensions or the exact tape width it is designed for, so there is nothing to check a generic seal against. A seal that slips under tension can let a bale burst after it leaves the press.
Is a sealing tool included with the HSM clamps?
No. The box contains clamps only. They are applied by the sealing tool or strapping head supplied with your press, during tensioning. If clamps start slipping, check the tool's jaws for wear before blaming the clamps.
