Steel strapping is known to be the firmest of all banding materials. While many would say that the demand for steel banding is declining because of certain negativities, the fact remains that there are numerous applications where steel strap works the best. Cheap yet efficient are the reasons why steel strapping becomes a favored option for several industrial applications.
The FROMM A383, a pneumatic sealless strapping tool, is best designed for extreme weight loads that demand high break strength. With very high tensioning power of around 15000 N, the tool has become quite popular among varied sectors like aluminum, steel, non-ferrous metals and lumber. No matter how demanding or harsh the working condition is, you can rely on this FROMM tool for consistent performance.
Important features of A383:
Different models are available, suited for 19, 25 and 32 mm wide steel straps. Strap thickness varies between 0.63 – 1.30 mm. Strap tension versions are also of two types i.e. 10000 N and 15000 N. whereas tension speed is in the range of 3.7 – 5.7 inch/s. The machine belongs to the heavyweight category, weighing around 51.9 lbs without suspension and 52.9 lbs with suspension. Also, options are there to select from full automatic or semi-automatic mode. Accessories of the strapping tool include:

A383 – why it is a preferred strapping option
The prime reason which makes it quite attractive is the sealless joint technique. This helps reduce overall strapping cost significantly. Then it is the pneumatic tensioning factor that ensures precise and uniform tension of all straps while the air power helps exert greater strap tension. So, the buyer gains economically from reduced operational expenses. Further, he can be sure of optimum utilization of manpower and other resources.
