The A480 Advantage to Pneumatic Steel Strapping

Thanks to its compact design, it is the ideal mid-heavy duty strapping tool. It has smaller foot plate, which makes it easier to strap around odd shaped and round objects. The smaller plate can easily fit into tighter places. Ease of use has been a cornerstone with fromm tools, and the A480 stands ideally for it.

The combination strapping tool is capable of guaranteeing a strong joint with the highest bonding strength of 75%. It allows adjustment to the roller-pad distance, banding size, and cutter depth for use with different types of applications. If you need a sealless alternative to the A480, the Fromm A335 is a good option. It can be used with 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch and 3/4 inch steel straps.

Advantages

  • Ideally suited for strapping bundles, coils, bars, pipes and irregular shaped packages of smaller surface area
  • It can be suspended and used for stationary operations (using a suspension bracket)
  • The tensioning force can be adjusted to requirement

The compact design and light weight also makes the Fromm A480 easier for tool repair.
