The process of banding depends a lot on accurate application of tension power. In recent years, there has been growing demand for pneumatic tensioners simply because these are much more efficient than their manual counterparts. FROMM has taken a pioneering role in this regard by coming up with advanced and convenient versions of pneumatic tensioners.
FROMM A452 is one of the latest inventions in the tensioner category which is characterized by high strap tension force of 1910 lbs (8500 N). Steel processing or non-ferrous metal industries that often need to band heavy loads of beams, pipes, bars, steel coils or other uneven shaped objects have found this tensioner quite a useful one.
Technical parameters of A452:
The tensioner supports both regular and high tensile strapping qualities of up to 1100 N/mm². It suits strapping of width 19.0 – 32.0 and thickness of 0.63 – 1.27 mm. Then this is one tool which is very light, weighing around 9.6 lbs. A separate sealer is needed to complete the strapping process. Push or closed seal only matches this particular tensioner, which comes with an angled duck bill nose. Few features which should be highlighted are:
- Capability to pull very high strap tension of around 8500 N/ 1,900 lbs
- For suspension purpose, eye bolts are supplied with the tool.
Should you invest in the pneumatic tensioner A452:
Many have this question as to why go for a separate tensioner and sealer when so many high performance combination tools are available. One reason is that the tensioner and sealer package come at a cheaper rate than a combination tool with similar features. Then of course you can save further cost by opting for a manual sealer, if your requirements revolve around small or light duty applications. This way you get the same strapping quality but by investing lesser amount. Besides, this specific tensioner is armed with several unique features which would surely encourage you to put money into it:
- The freewheeling system ensures no strap tension is lost even when the tensioning cycle is over
- There is a black safety push button pressing which the strap tension can be released any time
- Amazingly high tension speed yet very silent operation
So, it can be deducted that by picking up the tensioner A452, the operator remains fatigue-free. For further details about this tool and FROMM strapping devices, get in touch with any reputed dealer of the company.
