The choice of steel strapping tensioners depends mainly on the load that needs to be strapped. Depending on the type of load, one of the following types of tensioners may be selected: Feedwheel Tensioners, Windlass tensioners and Pusher style tensioners. Pneumatic pusher style tensioners make strapping of large compressible packages relatively effortless. As the air pressure on the pneumatic tensioners can be adjusted, the tensioning achieved is much more uniform. In situations where seals are not in optimal positions, or when the productivity is in question, the pusher style pneumatic tensioners are the perfect solution.
The Fromm A452, is among the most efficient pneumatic pusher style tensioners used for steel strapping. The A452 is a stand out because of the characteristic strap tension force of 8500N that it achieves. The A452 by Fromm has a freewheeling system that ensures the retention of all the tension created without any loss of tension in the cycle. The Fromm A452 is strong and at the same time it is light and can be used for stationary and mobile operations depending on the requirement.
Technical specifications for the A452:
- Strap quality – Regular duty, Uniflex, up to 850 N/mm2 and High tensile, Ultraflex, up to 1100 N/mm2
- Strap dimensions – 19.0 – 32.0 x 0.63 – 1.27 mm and ¾ – 1¼ x .025 – .050″
- Maximum tension – 8500N
- Sealing type – Metal seals
- Sealing – Separate sealer required
- Weight – 4.4 kgs
The A452 is also equipped with a safety release button to stop tensioning at any time during the tensioning process. With the high levels of tension that this tool achieves, it is ideal for use in the steel industry and industries that use steel and steel products. This lightweight tool is exceptionally silent and lightweight and is therefore ideal for non-stationary applications.
Accompanying the A452, the manual and pneumatic sealing tools available from Allstrap Steel & Poly Strapping Systems, help to ensure the best quality of packaging. The A412 is a manual sealing tool that is ideal for mobile applications and for cargos that have uneven or rounded surfaces with smaller supporting surfaces. Designed to ensure accuracy and safety, the A412 is an ideal accompaniment to the A452 tensioner. For more heavy duty sealing and tensioning, the A452 is better supported by the A461 by Fromm. Better used for sealing larger packages, the A461 can be operated single handedly and its specifically designed safety measures prevent defective sealing joints. This mechanism ensures that all human errors in the tool operation are eliminated.
