The OR-T-250 is an energy efficient strapping system and is very cost efficient. It has a service friendly construction and provides more cycles per battery charge. Its brushless motor adds to its high efficient. It also has a no-memory effect and provides a high number of strappings.

The OR-T-250 has undergone a lot of improvements and it presently does not have any flaws as the motor and boards are holding up very well. It runs on a 14.4 V lithium ion battery from Bosch that helps the tool complete about 400 applications per charge. It also has a fully adjustable tensioning force of up to 560 pounds with an adjustable strap width option.

The OR-T-250 uses the friction weld sealing and the tool seals automatically at the push of a button. With its soft mode, it makes it very easy and safe to strap small and fragile packages. Using the friction weld type of sealing is a very cost effective option for industries that have a high volume of loads to strap. Using the friction weld sealing the industry will not have to stock up on metal seals which are expensive.

Using the friction weld technology this tool provides a strong and seal less joint and thus additional cost is eliminated. However, many industries are hesitant to use this kind of sealing even though it provides the same joint efficiency as the one with metal seals. The other advantage to using this kind of sealing is that there is no risk of rusting of metal seals in damp or humid conditions. The OR-T-250 takes only three minutes for the entire sealing process. This helps the operator save time.

The tool also ensures precise tensioning each time and this can be monitored from the digital display panel which shows the tensioning level and there is also the option of changing it according to the application it is being used for. The Orgapack tool comes in two models. The OR-T-250 uses the ½”-5/8” poly strap, while the OR-T-400, the larger version suits the 5/8”- ¾” poly strapping.

Feeding the strap in this tool is far easier than other brands of tools as it opens its jaws wider to take in the strap. Allstrap stocks Orgapack tools and repairs them too. Call Allstrap for more details.

The main benefit of investing in combination steel strapping tools is that you don’t have to pick up a separate tensioner and sealer for strapping. This means saving time in the sense you don’t need to operate tensioner and sealer separately. And of course, a combination tool is an economical option too.

When it comes to the sealless combination tool category, the FROMM A335 can strap flat packages like bales, crates, pallets, cases, etc. The A335 is equipped with a highly advanced tensioning system and is considered a pioneer in the manual sealless steel strapping category.

Characteristics and advantages of A335:

• The tool supports regular and high-tensile steel strapping
• It fits three different strap widths, i.e., 1/2″, 5/8″ or 3/4″ and thickness ranging between .020” – .023”.
• Apart from the normal version, a special Torque Wrench tension version is also available
• This FROMM tool can hold up to 80% joint efficiency
• Made of high quality steel, the tool parts can withstand maximum wear and tear

Lightweight, handy and rugged are few words which best describe this sealless combination steel strapping tool. Because of its superb joint efficiency, this strapping device is often applied on shipped articles and flat, compressible packages. Even after enduring hours of transportation, you can be sure that the object will reach its destination in safe and perfect condition.

Safety instructions to be followed while operating A335:

• Be sure to wear safety glasses with side shields that conform to ANSI Standard Z87.1
• Make sure that you have read the operation manual properly before operating the tool
• Take extra care to keep fingers away from areas that can pinch or cut

For all those industries that have not made the switch to battery operated tools, the P380 is a boon. This pneumatic strapping tool is very fast and is also the first tool that was designed to strap round and irregular objects. Fromm is one of the top strapping tool brands that is constantly designing and innovating new tools that can bring about increased productivity and efficiency in the packaging industry. The popularity of their tools in the market can vouch for the efficiency of their tools in the industry they are being used.

Though the P380 Fromm tool looks a little bulky, it is the most useful tool in the market to strap irregular objects. Weighing 15 pounds, the P380 is a very easy to operate tool and is very popular among the workers using it. It has become a favored tool and has now become the standard for packing pipes, bars and other round packages.

Specifications

• Strapping quality: Polypropylene (PP) Polyester (PET)
• Strap widths: 13.0-19.0mm (½- ¾ ” )
• Strap thickness: 0.40-1.35 mm / .016-.053”
• Weight:  (including suspension bracket) 6.8kgs (15 pounds)
• Average seal strength: up to 75%
• Seal type: Friction weld sealing

The present version of the P380 has undergone some improvements. Its feedwheel and welder are now separated. The feedwheel is behind the welder now and this makes the foot look smaller under the strapping. Since it is smaller it becomes easy to pull out from under the tight strapping. In almost all the other tools, the feedwheel swings out away from the strapping and this is not possible on round applications. As the P380 has now been improved, this problem has been solved. Meanwhile, this tool comes with a suspension bracket, by which the worker can counter balance it vertically or horizontally.

The P380 also has adjustable tension levels that can accommodate any application size. The seal is also guaranteed to be strong and secure. Another great feature of this tool is that there is lesser risk of injury while using this combination tool. The P380 is also reliable and cost effective, which is one of the majors factors industries take into consideration while buying tools. The other advantage in this tool is that it does not leave any mark on the surface of the strapping or leave any mark on galvanized and coated products. The strong seal that gets applied with this tool is very reliable throughout the transit time.

Though P380 continues to be popular, there are several in the industry who are constantly switching over to battery operated tools which are very fast and efficient and equally reliable. There are battery operated combination tools too that are very efficient.
