Fromm A452 Pneumatic Tensioner: Good for Large and Small Loads
The Fromm A452 is a push type pneumatic tensioner which is a very light weight tool for mobile and stationary applications. This is only a tensioning tool and a separate sealer is required to complete the application. This pneumatic tensioner also has a high strap tension and a force of 1910 pounds. When tensioning cycle is completed there is not strap tension lost due to its free wheeling system. This is the tool’s unique feature.
The A452 is a very popular tool and has become a staple in many metal and non-ferrous industries. The pusher type tensioner has carved a niche of its own in the strapping tool industry as it can strap large and heavy objects easily.
Since it is very light weight, operators like to use this tool as it can be carried around easily. The A-452 is largely used in iron and steel industries and construction companies. When large loads of steel pipes, beams and tubes, they have to be strapped and the A452 comes in handy. This tool is also indispensable when you have to strap small and irregular shaped packages that are otherwise difficult to strap. However, it has to be teamed with a good sealer to complete the operation.
The A452 has a duck billed nose which is angled in such a way that it required push seals or closed seals. For a smaller or light duty application, pneumatic sealer may not be necessary and a manual sealer will be able to do the job easily. The seals are threaded on to the strap and the tool physically pushes the seal along the strap applying tension all along.
Due to the air qualities of this tool, the A452 is a quick tool. As push seals are being used the strap prep time becomes longer than that of other tools. In order to eliminate air lines and complete the job quickly, switching to battery operated combination tools is a better option. Many industries have already switched over.
