Double-secure seal attracts growing interest

The global increase in container vandalism has generated renewed interest in the Keeper Sealock, which has proved to be an extremely effective security device world-wide, says Kevin Norwitz. “The device doubles the security of shipments since it secures both the container handle and keeper bars and requires two cuts for removal,” says Norwitz, who heads up security sealing solutions provider, Vikela Aluvin. “This is an important advance on traditional container seals and is now being used on a variety of high-risk containers worldwide.” Ideal for electronic goods, alcohol and high-end fashion, the device has a cable length of 148cm – and is easily lengthened if required. It has a cast zinc body and cable made from 5mm or 3mm galvanised steel aircraft cable and is ISO 17712 compliant. According to Norwitz, there’s high demand for the company’s high-security ISO 17712-compliant seals because they are genuinely compliant. “Many other seals on the market do not meet all the stringent requirements laid down by the ISO 17712 document or the manufacturing integrity required in the same document,” he said. Aluvin is the sole distributor in southern Africa for some of the largest security sealing companies in the world, offering a wide range of sealing products for many applications.
