P380- Best Fromm Pneumatic Strapping Tool for Round Objects

Finding a strapping tool for irregular or round objects can be difficult. Especially in the strapping industry where such goods have to be strapped and shipped, there should be a perfect tool that can do the banding efficiently. One such tool is the Fromm P380 pneumatic strapping tool which is the first banding tool on the market to do the job effectively. P380-275x245

The P380 is very easy to use and light weight and it can be counter balanced either vertically or horizontally. This is tool is fast, efficient, cost effective and very safe to use. As with most of Fromm tools, this tool also comes with a safety manual. But with the P380 the risk of injury is far less when compared with all other pneumatic combination tools.

Specifications

  • Strapping qualities: Polypropylene (PP) and Polyester (PET)
  • Strap Widths:  13.0-19.0 mm / ½ – ¾”
  • Weight including Suspension Bracket:  6.8 kg / 15 lbs
  • Type of Seal:  Friction weld sealing
  • Strap Tension:  600 – 2000 N / 135 – 450 lbs (adjustable)

In this improved version of the P380, two changes have been made. In this the feed wheel and the welder are now separate and the feed wheel has been moved behind the welder. Due to this, the foot under the strapping becomes much smaller. Because of this change, it is easier to pull out from under the tight strapping.  While most strapping tools have a base under the feed wheel, this is not possible on round applications. And Fromm’s P380 is the best solution for such applications. It has become a standard in the industries for strapping round packages.

The P380 also has adjustable tension levels that can accommodate any application size and the seal ensures that it will be strong and secure. It uses the friction weld sealing and has a break strength of about 75%. It is very reliable and very cost effective. This tool does not leave marks on galvanized and coated products. It applies a perfect seal and remains safe during the transit process.

However, a threat that still remains is that many in the industry are replacing their pneumatic tools with battery operated ones. These tools are fare more effective than their pneumatic counterparts. There are battery operated combination tools too, that makes the strapping process very quick and allow for better movement in the work place.

Two battery operated combination tools that suit ½”-3/4” strapping is Orgapack’s OR-T250 which completes strapping in 3 seconds and the Fromm P327 which is very durable with excellent operation.
