FROMM A483 for Heavy Duty Loads
Selecting the right strapping tool depends on various criteria. You might need to strap heavyweight packages that demand high tension force. Then some may need to strap small or fragile items. With FROMM strapping tools, it is possible to meet such specific conditions and that too quite economically. In fact, there are many strapping tools which support medium to heavy weight applications and are equally suitable for small packages.
The FROMM A483 tool is highly preferred for its wide variety of applications. This pusher style pneumatic tool best fits 1” and 1 1/4″ wide steel straps of thickness .031″- .040.” Though widely used across various industrial sectors, it is the metal and non-ferrous industries which are mainly benefited with this pneumatic strapping tool. Thus the combination tool is often picked up for strapping:
- Loads of steel coils
- Heavy weight steel or aluminum tubes, pipes, etc.
- Metal rods of different sizes
- Irregular shaped objects which are otherwise difficult to strap
Then A483 is the right option for strenuous working conditions where strapping is done over shifts. Because of its heavyweight and sturdy design, the tool can withstand extreme and consistent work pressure. Here are few specific reasons why this pneumatic tool is preferred for the above mentioned industries:
- Perfect ergonomics which equips the tool with ideally positioned tensioning and sealing levers; in single buttoned operation there is only one lever
- The double notch up-cut seal joint guarantees around 75% joint efficiency and is ideal for curved or uneven objects
- Easy insertion of straps since the feedwheel can be lifted pneumatically
Weight of around 40 lbs might sound bit intimidating but those who have tried their hands with FROMM A483 love its flexibility and easy operation. You just need to place both straps properly and ensure that these don’t get tangled with the sealing part. Then you simply trigger the valve lever to initiate the sealing process. Make sure that you use right hand index finger for the purpose. Once the seal is applied properly you have to release the lever. No need to struggle with heavy steel straps since the feedwheel is lifted by pneumatic air pressure. Also, the tool comes equipped with four suspension brackets that support strapping in any difficult horizontal or vertical position. This takes care of the safety factor while keeping the operator stress-free which in turn means more production in lesser time. Being available in two different models, the selection task becomes even simpler for the buyer. You opt for the right strap width matching the application requirement. This way you don’t have to do any strap width adjustment in the tool. No wonder this push style high tensile strapping tool is giving tough competition to its battery powered counterparts.
