A-452 Fromm’s Pneumatic Tensioner
Pneumatic tensioners play a major role in the packaging industry. Though many in the industry are switching over to battery operated tools, pneumatic tools are still preferred by many and used for many a different application. Fromm’s A-452 is a very popular tool and used by many industries. It is a very light weight and user friendly tool.
A452 is well known for its high strap tension force. This is used both in mobile and stationary applications. Since this is a tensioning tool, a separate sealer is required. Even though this tool is a stand-alone tensioner, it has carved a niche for itself with its excellent tensioning capacity. Several industries use this tool because it is light weight. Being just 9.6 pounds, it is a very user friendly tool and workers can easily carry it around in the work place without feeling tired.
Iron, steel and the construction industry find this tool to be very useful. It pulls a tension of 8,500 N and this proves to be very good for heavy loads of metal. The A452 is used to strap heavy loads of steel pipes and iron beams. It is also used to strap irregular and small packages. Fromm’s A461 is a good pneumatic sealer that can be used with this tensioner.
Specifications
- High tensile
- Maximum tension: 8,500N/1,910 pounds
- Sealing type: Metal and push type closed seals
- Weight 4.4kg/9.6 pounds
Fromm’s manual sealer A412 is also a good sealer and can be used along with the A452 tensioner.
The A452 has an angled nose like that of a duck and so required a push or closed seal. The seal is first threaded into the strap and then the seal is physically pushed along the strap which applies the tension. Due to the air qualities of the tool, it is quite very fast, however it requires push seals the strap prep time take a bit long than for other tools.
Industry experts believe that the pneumatic airlines are a big disadvantage as they run all around the floor. This is the only reason that many are considering switching over to battery operated tools. However, a good feature of this tool is that it operates very silently and the work also gets done quite fast.
The tool operates in a very consistent and precise manner. The operator is also stress free while using this tool. For those considering a changeover to battery operated tools, the Grip Pack 114 tensioner and Grip Pack 114 Sealer are a good bet.
