Among all other heavy pneumatic tools, the Fromm A480 is considered the lightest and easiest to operate tool on the market. Most of the packaging industry uses this tool though there are other similar tools by Fromm. As with other tools by Fromm, the A480 is also ergonomically designed.

Being a very compact tool the A480 is considered ideal for strapping odd shaped packages. This is possible because the foot plate of this tool is very small and can squeeze into a tight place easily. When compared with other pneumatic push style combination tools, the A480 does not need to be suspended. This makes for more mobility and workers find it easier to cart it around their work place easily.

Characteristics

• Mobility
• Highly tensile
• Tension version: 2500N, 4500N
• Sealing type: .75” push seal
• Weight: 4.5kg/9.9lbs

The advantage of the A480 is its light weight, according to users. This also a very ideal tool to strap tubes, wire coils and small bundles. Since it is light in weight it is very portable and eliminates operator fatigue. The applications are completed in a very short time and the productivity increases due to this. Due to the effectiveness of this tool, it has become very popular in many industries.

This tool is also considered the best for push seals and for sealing round and narrow packages. In order to pull tension, the steel is threaded through and then the seal is pushed by the tool. This tool has two tensioning levels and also offers a very friendly user interface.  The dimensions of the banding and the distance between the roller and the pad can be adjusted. The cutter’s depth too can be adjusted to suit the application requirement. The A480 also provides a tough joint and gives a bonding strength of about 75%.

This tool comes with suspension brackets and can be used if needed. If used for stationary operations, the tool can be suspended on a spring loaded balancer. Like most of Fromm’s tools, this has also become a most popular tool in the industry. Industry experts say that this tool became popular mainly because it is light weight. Other pneumatic tools performing the same work can be very heavy.

For instance Fromm has a newer tool in the A483, but it is heavier and better for use in a continuous operation. Allstrap stocks all of Fromm’s tools and provides repair services too. Generally the A480 is available rebuilt. Call Allstrap for pricing and other enquiries.
