An Overview of Battery Strapping Tools

Many industries involve packaging of goods, which are then dispatched for distribution or storing. The products to be packed can vary considerably in terms of their size, shape and weight. Thus, it is essential to make use of strapping tools which are capable of providing reliable strapping and keep the goods securely packed until they reach the final destination.

Some common types of strapping tools include welders or sealers, tensioners, and combination tools and these are used in various industries, depending on the type of goods to be packed. These equipment can vary in terms of size and material and are available as hand held devices, as well as large machines. Depending on the number and sizes of products to strap securely, you can find a tool that can perform this task as efficiently and in as less time, as possible.

Strength and durability are the prime qualities to look for in the strapping material to ensure that it will keep holding the load for a long time. Similarly, the strapping tool you use should be able to provide the required strength, so that the products can remain packaged securely during handling, transit and storage. Strapping tools are primarily available in two forms: manual and battery operated. Out of these, the battery operated strapping tools are in high demand. They are ideal for both horizontal and vertical strapping applications in various industrial uses.

Battery operated strapping tools are designed to efficiently serve the purpose of adding plastic straps. Some models can accommodate straps of various widths. The batteries incorporated in these strapping tools are long lasting and easy to charge. From common packaging requirements to more intense applications, like construction products and metals, these strapping tools can be used for diverse strapping purposes.

The latest designs of battery strapping tools offer a number of advantages. These are quite light in weight and do not require much effort during handling or functioning. Their strong and sturdy structure can withstand extensive use and perform well even in high demanding applications.

Strapping is a procedure used for holding together packages. It provides the required strength, especially for heavy packages to hold them securely throughout transportation and storage process. These tools incorporate innovative technology and are highly efficient and effective in operation. Battery tools are operated by a battery built into the tool, and they do not require an external power source. It ensures that you can perform the entire task without any interruption or inconvenience.

Fromm P326: The Battery Powered Combination Tool

The Fromm P-326 is a well-designed combination tool with a balanced weight distribution, making it ideal for people to lift the 15 pound tool on a regular basis without strain. It has a battery powered operation with great shock absorption that reduces potential damage due to the tool. This device is a combination tool that performs various functions for packaging goods so that the individual does not have to use multiple tools to complete the task.

P326

The Fromm P326 will be a worker’s best friend as it can be operated without requiring any compressor or electrical outlet. The battery operated function makes it much easier to handle. This combination tool is known to provide tension greater than or at least equal to most pneumatic strapping tools.

It also functions as a seal-less combination tool that applies a friction weld seal to fasten the strappings. Friction welding is a sealing process that generates heat through friction by rubbing a stationary object with a mobile work piece. The heat that is generated is then used to fuse the two materials together. This is more like a forging technique as no materials are actually melted.

The Fromm P326 can function with two strapping types: Polyester and Polypropylene, and can handle strap dimensions of ½”-5/8””x .016 -.041”. The tension that can be exerted by this machine can vary somewhere between 300-2400 N. The amount of force that you want to exert can be easily adjusted. The features that make this device so special are:

  • An ergonomic design
  • A thin handle which make the handling of the device much easier
  • One handed operation is possible
  • Adjustable sealing time and force to be exerted
  • High tension can be exerted by the device at an adjustable speed
  • Battery powered functioning which can be easily exchanged
  • Friction welding which does not requires any seals
  • Welding lever that locks into position

These unique features of this device make it quite easy to handle and quite popular with professionals of all kinds. Upon purchasing the device, you also receive two batteries and a charger which are quite useful in reducing the downtime of the device.

The powerful 18V motor that this device has is run with the latest lithium ion technology for the best effects. The batteries will last for around 3000 charges which make this a long term investment.
