Metal pusher type seal with separate sealer is provided. Few features of the tool are especially attractive, like:

• Free-wheeling system which ensures that no strap tension is lost even when the tensioning cycle is completed
• It weighs around 9.6 lbs and hence allows adequate operator mobility
• Being a Push type tensioner, it pushes the seal along the strap end thereby applying tension force.

Is it a wise idea to invest in FROMM A452:

• The beauty of FROMM pneumatic tensioner is that it takes most of the effort out of strapping large or compressible packages
• It is possible to maintain uniform tension on each strap with clean and lubricated air pressure.
• This push-type tensioner is considered a dependable option for packages with limited or irregularly shaped operating surface.
• Filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended with the pneumatic tool to ensure improved and consistent performance.

With the FROMM A452 being a tensioning tool only, it needs to be paired with a separate sealer for complete application. For sealing also, you don’t need to go away from the FROMM family. There are reliable options like A461 which perfectly complements the pneumatic sealer. Again, if your requirement is small or light duty application then a manual sealer FROMM A412 also serves the purpose.

As demand keeps growing for FROMM tools, the customer might get confused trying to pick up the right solution from its wide bouquet of products. A discussion with any reliable dealer of FROMM helps in picking up the right product.

Are you on the look-out for premium quality strapping that can withstand extreme weather conditions? Then stainless steel strapping provides the right solution. The best thing about this strapping is that it ensures precise elongation and very good break strength. Then of course its ability to resist corrosion and harmful effect of UV rays deserves special mention.

Long pieces of stainless steel designed specifically for binding purpose or for affixing loose items are called stainless straps. It is actually an alloy which contains around 11% chromium along with steel. This unique composition makes stainless steel more resistant to rust. It is superior to other materials in that the stainless strap is more durable and can resist regular wear and tear. In fact, it can be said if other straps fail to impress you then the stainless strap will surely do. The basic purpose of Stainless strapping is to apply tension to steel banding. While the engineering sector benefits from its corrosion resistant characteristic, small scale applications gain from its high tensioning force and minimal maintenance need.

Stainless strapping finds it applications in varied sectors like

• Civil engineering
• Telecom
• Petroleum
• Different non-commercial applications

How to use the stainless strap

Stainless strapping tools are there for banding purposes. Available in varied width sizes and tensioning force, the selection of the right tool should be done based on specific strapping needs. Here is a brief summary about how to apply the strapping:

• Insert end of the band into the buckle and then bend the end under the buckle
• Wrap the object by bringing band through the buckle again
• Insert the band into the tool nose
• Pressing the band gripper lever, tighten the strap by turning tool handle
• When the strap is tightened enough, the tool secures the band into the buckle and then cuts it to the appropriate length.
• End of the strap is then bent between ears of the buckle thus securing it into place

Though the basic operation technique remains more or less the same, some operation techniques might vary from one manufacturer to the other. It helps if you get in touch with any reliable dealer of stainless strapping to know its various features and benefits.

Just when people decided to switch over to poly strapping or cord strapping, preferring them over steel strapping, this new strapping was introduced to the market – stainless strapping. This achieved instant popularity for the simple reason that it turned the disadvantages of steel strapping into advantages.

Stainless strapping has proven to be a great choice among the industry users who were not satisfied with steel strapping as it was leaving marks on the objects and also causing a lot injury to workers. When steel strapping was left in the open it began to rust. Many frustrated customers moved to poly and strapping and cord strapping for this reason.

Benefits

• Can weather the elements, no risk of rust
• Durable
• Provides UV resistance
• Great break strength
• Very easy to handle
• Can be used with higher tension

Stainless strapping is quickly gaining popularity due to the enormous advantages it provides when compared with the steel strapping. Both the strappings are equally strong but since steel has corrosive properties, stainless straps are more welcome among users. Even when exposed outside stainless strapping withstands the weather better and does not rust. This is very important as people do not want packages with rust stains.

Stainless strapping comes in three types. They are 201, 317 and 304. Among these three, 201 is the most popular due to its elasticity. Due to the tension it can achieve, it makes it easier for the worker to handle it easily.

The type 317 is chosen by many for its resistance to corrosion. However, customers are aware that though this stainless strap resists rust, it is also more expensive than steel straps. The type 304 is however, with the same property is of a lesser price than 317. The icing on the cake however, is that stainless steel strapping has higher break strength than steel and this is most preferred by customers all over.

Another feature of stainless strap is that it does not have sharp edges and has a great finish. Industry experts feel that the arrival of stainless straps has not completely destroyed the popularity enjoyed by steel straps. There are still steel strap loyalists who prefer steel straps though it corrodes. But then, there are those who do not switch to stainless steel due to higher cost.

Ultimately, it depends on the budget and need. Some companies willingly switch over to stainless straps for the quality and strength it provides. Allstrap has stainless straps in all varieties and will cater to the requirements of the customer and what they choose. Call them for all your strapping requirements.

Stainless steel strapping is used in several industries across the globe. Steel strapping is also used in oil industries where they use it to secure tubes and pipes to the drilling platforms. Most stainless steel strapping can withstand the elements without corroding the object it is used to strap.

Most steel strapping are also heat treated and cold rolled, so that they can be a good shock resistant for heavy duty applications. Stainless steel strapping is especially useful for higher tension and with the right tool it can be strapped securely. There are several tools in the market for any kind of strapping, be it steel, poly or cord strapping. Choosing the right tool and using the right strapping can prove to be cost-effective and efficient.

When using in oil rigs, one has to be careful in choosing the right kind of steel strapping because the wrong choice could result in the steel getting corrosive as it is being used near the water. Some steel strapping can rust and may leave a scar on the object that it is strapped on.

There are a wide variety of sizes in steel strapping. They come in several widths, thickness, strengths and corrosion resistance. The length will depend upon the type of product you choose for your strapping needs. Standard length of steel bands are about 100 feet. Most steel strapping is manufactured in the USA and conform to the ASTM Standard.

The steel strapping types that are more popular are the Apex Plus and Magnus. These are cold rolled and heat treated. While the Apex Plus is generally used for light and medium duty applications, the Magnus is used for heavy duty applications. The Magnus is very popular with industry experts as it is of high tensile strength and has very good shock resistance.

Since the Magnus has optimum break strength it is just right to use with hand tools. It can also be used with pneumatic and automatic equipment for heavy duty applications. There are several tools on the market to use steel strapping with. There is a wide variety to choose from for every kind of application.  The standard size of steel strapping is ¼”x.031” and has an elongation of 6.5%.

Most of the industry users feel that the only concern in using steel strapping is that it can rust if exposed to elements. That is almost changed with the invention of stainless steel strapping. Once you decide on the kind of application you need the strapping for, there are several options for stainless strapping too. This strapping is becoming more popular in the industry now.
