Fromm A452 Repair

Professional Fromm A452 Tool Repair services are available at the hands of factory-certified, well-trained and experienced technicians. You will not have to worry if your tool requires repair in the future. It can be fixed and returned within the shortest-possible turnaround.

You can also order parts for Fromm A452 because all the common wear parts and other parts are easily available. All the accessories are also readily available for ease of operation.

Sealing Tool

Because this fromm pneumatic pusher tool is a tensioning tool, it requires a sealer to complete the applications. The A461 from the same brand complements it perfectly when strapping odd-shaped and round objects. Both the tools have been valued in the metals industry for applications involving steel coils, pipes, beams, and other hard-to-strap items.

The Fromm A461 can seal steel strapping using single notch seal joint. This helps in achieving optimal safety in a single stroke. Both these pneumatic tools can give a boost to your productivity while simplifying heavy-duty applications due to the tensioner’s high tensioning capacity. Overall, the Fromm A452 is one of the most powerful tools you can find in the industry.

All Types of Durable Poly Strapping

Poly Strapping is the perfect option for multiple applications when shipping a wide range of products. It is commonly used along with stretch film for stabilizing load. The strap can also be used for bundling products for retail sales. Polyester strapping is considered perfect for heavier loads and can also be used as an alternative for metal strapping.

Types of Plastic Strapping

Different types of plastic strapping are available for different types of applications:

Polypropylene Straps – This is the most commonly used strapping for both machine and hand strapping applications. It is available in a wide range of sizes and widths.
Polyester Straps – Polyester straps work as the perfect substitute for steel strapping. They provide high level of tensile strength without costing as much as their steel counterparts.
Smooth Plastic Straps – Smooth straps also offer high level of tensile strength. Most poly strapping is available with smooth textures for encouraging higher tensile strength.
Embossed Strapping – These types of straps feature diamond shaped texture that is formed during extrusion. It provides optimal level of friction against the seal/buckle, which helps in minimizing the chances of slipping.
Hand Grade Poly Straps – As the name suggests, hand grade poly straps are used in manual applications. It is wrapped around pallet/package by hand and closed using a poly plastic buckle, metal seals or wire buckle.
Machine Grade Poly Straps – These straps are used for fully automatic, semi-automatic and automated strapping machines. In the case of auto-strapping systems, the machine straps around the product, tensions it tightly and seals using friction/heat weld.

Technical Specs

All types and sizes of poly strapping are available for different applications, including:

The straps are available in different thicknesses including 0.020 inch, 0.025 inch, 0.027 inch, 0.030 inch, 0.035 inch, 0.040 inch, and 0.050 inch.

Applications of Poly Straps

Poly strapping is used for a wide range of applications:

It is mostly used for unitizing products and for load stabilization.
Many times the strapping is used in combination with stretch film for securing loads of various heights and sizes.
It can be used with different types of loads and packages.

Different seal types can be used with this type of strapping, with heat/friction seal and wire buckles being the most commonly used strapping closures.
