Technology and innovative ideas have extremely benefited the packaging sector in general and strapping segment in particular. Now it is possible to have manual strapping tools but with a battery powered option. Thus the operator is relieved of extreme stress related to handling heavy weight machines.
FROMM P326 is a battery operated friction-weld combination tool, best known for its extremely flexible features. What is most attractive about the device is its simple operation. When it comes to adjusting tension or weld time, just turning two knobs will suffice. In order to apply tension, you need to press a single button. It can be said that operating this strapping tool is nearly effortless.
Specifications of FROMM P326:
- It can be used on Polypropylene (PP) and Polyester strap of dimension 1/2” – 5/8” x .016 – .041”
- Weight of the machine is around 8.7 lbs
- Friction weld sealing guarantees highly secure joints
- The tool supports strap tension between 400 – 2400 N with tensioning speed between 85 – 190 mm/s / 3.3 – 7.5 inch/s
And of course, two significant features which make the device super-efficient are the reinforced single 18V motor and 18V lithium-ion battery.
How P326 is different from other manual FROMM plastic strapping tools:
While dealing with this particular device, you will never have the feel of operating a manual strapping tool. Take for instance tension speed which is easily adjustable by turning the tension knob. An average of 75% seal strength is achievable, depending on the strap quality. Then the strapping tool is equipped with advanced Li-ion battery which guarantees almost 1/3rd more run time than its counterparts. Consider achieving around 600 strap cycles per battery charge and you have to acknowledge the tool’s improved technology. Although its battery operated, it still assures almost equal and sometimes even greater tension power than any pneumatic tool.
From the above discussion, it is evident that P326 is well equipped and flexible enough to meet varied strapping needs. However, it is always a wise idea to consult an expert to be sure whether this strapping tool is the right option for your specific industrial requirements. The fact that FROMM keeps coming up with newer and advanced versions quite frequently that makes the selection process a bit tough for the buyer. Thus an unbiased advice from any dealer of FROMM helps in making the right decision.
