FROMM P359 - unique strapping machine with high tension force (up to 7000N!) - an opportunity for massive savings. The sleek design of this tool gives the impression that it is a FROMM accumulator strapping machine, but due to the pneumatic drive it has a much higher tensioning force. The P359 can be used in either semi-automatic or manual mode. Buttons on the tool allow the operator to decide which function best suits the strapping needs. As mentioned, the maximum tensioning force is 7000 N, this can be adjusted based on the needs of each application. The joint is made by friction welding. With the P359, the welding and cooling time can be adjusted to safely secure the goods. Pneumatic strapping machines are very heavy compared to manual and cordless strapping machines. However, the Fromm P359 is one of the lightest pneumatic strapping machines on the market - weighing only 8.9 kg. The fact that tensioning, welding and end separation of the tape is done in one device saves operator energy and makes the process much more efficient. Given the performance of the P359, it is important to use quality tapes that will withstand the taping application. PET tapes have the highest impact resistance of all tapes, as well as high tensile strength, which means more secure transport. Unlike steel tape, plastic strapping tapes do not leave scratches or rust spots, and because they have no sharp corners they are much safer to work with for the operator. As with other strapless strapping machines, overhead costs are much lower due to the elimination of metal buckle costs. Also, the price of plastic tape is generally more economical than steel.
