Steel strapping is still considered indispensable, especially for packaging sharp, uneven or extremely heavy objects. The best thing about steel strapping is that it is available in varied combinations of strap widths and thicknesses. With the growth of pneumatic steel strapping tools, greater finesse has been introduced into the process.
The Fromm A480 deserves special mention in this category. When compared to its pneumatic and sealless counterparts, this tool is naturally considered the best pick because of its extreme light weight and perfect balance. When it comes to strapping small or round packaging goods, very few pneumatic tools can match its performance.
Technical specifications of A480

- Strap width varies between 10.00 – 19.00 mm whereas thickness between 0.38 – 0.63 mm
- Weight of the machine is 10.1 lbs with suspension
- Tension versions are of four types, i.e. 4500 N, 6500 N, 7500 N and 9500 N

Why choose for A480 pneumatic sealless strapping tool
The basic advantage is that it ensures highly secure bundling of round or irregular shaped objects. A look at the tool’s operation and you will certainly feel that it is almost customized for use on pipes, rods, bars, tubes and coils. Timber and construction material industries have particularly benefited by shifting to this pneumatic strapping option. Another attractive feature is its offer of four different tensioning levels, with the maximum being 9500N, making the tool perfectly compatible with heavy weight applications. However, it is recommended to be used with suspension brackets while handling heavy duty packages. The tool’s perfect ergonomics has taken care of several shortfalls experienced with the previous Fromm model, A380. This device comes with a small foot which can easily accommodate irregular applications. Being available in two different modes, i.e., fully automatic or semi-automatic, it is up to the operator to make the right decision based on what is being strapped. Apart from being completely safe to operate, this is one tool which guarantees highly accurate and cost-effective strapping.
If you are looking for a clean seal which remains intact throughout the transportation process then A480 will surely fulfill your criteria. Consult any reputed dealer of FROMM for further information about this device.
