Pneumatic sealless steelstrapping tools

Areas of application for pneumatic, sealless strapping tools are identical tothose for manual tools. The same also applies to the characteristics of thesealless notched joint. The essential advantage is in faster strapping, uniformly and ideally tensioned straps plus the efficient mode of working.

Time savings are considerable, particularly when long band take-ups arerequired, for instance with compressible packed goods and extremely largecrates and pallets. Pneumatically powered tools combined with semi-auto-matic strap feed systems increase productivity even further.

A431This lightweight and handy combination strappingtool is ideal for strapping bars, tubes, bundles andgoods with an extremely small surface. Simple tooperate and totally independent of any energysource the A431 has become established as theideal helper. Lap-over seals provided with a singlenotch joint are used for sealing.
