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.
