P327- Small But Powerful Battery Tool
The P327 is a battery strapping combination tool and is slowly and surely becoming a staple in many industries. Most industries find combination tools very convenient as they do the three jobs, tensioning, sealing and cutting at the touch of a button. This saves a lot of time and is very effective in increasing productivity. This is also one of the reasons why many industries are switching over to battery operated tools.
The P327 is a reliable tool and complies with the European Safety regulations. It is very user friendly and equipped with a reinforced 18V motor and a lithium ion battery from Bosch, which is very powerful and a much sought after battery in the industry due to its incredible performance record.
Being a very light weight tool, operators like using the P327 as it is easy carrying it around the work room floor without any difficulty. The tool uses the polyester strap with widths ranging from 16mm to 25mm. These sizes are very suitable as substitutes to the steel strapping that has been widely used. With steel strapping slowly losing popularity due to some of its drawbacks like rusting and risk of injury, many industries are switching over to poly strapping which is as strong as steel!
The lithium ion battery in the P327 is very powerful and provides a lot of advantages. It can complete up to 450 strap cycles per battery charge. It is a very durable tool and is not known to break down even during extreme work conditions. This battery’s technology makes sure that there is an adjustable tension speed and also has a high tension force.
Specifications
- Strap Qualities: Polyester (PET) / Polypropylene (PP)
- Strap Dimensions: 5/8” – 3/4” x .016 – .053”
- Max. Tension: 790 lbs.
- Sealing Type: Friction weld sealing
- Weight: 4.1 kg / 9.0 lbs. (including battery)
The P327 tool has several advantages and this is what makes it stand out among other tools. It saves a lot on operating time and fatigue. Depending on the strap quality and size, it gives an average seal strength of 75%. A larger capacity of the battery can be used with another Fromm tool, the P330. It is similar to the P327 but uses ¾” to 1” strapping.
To use the P327, the Lithium battery should be in full charge and locked in position. There are two buttons, one for tension and the other to adjust welding time. The tension can be adjusted with each application.

A480- Combo Tool with 75% Joint Efficiency!
Packing small coils and tubes is very tricky. Fromm A480 is a very versatile tool that is used to strap tubes, coils and other small bundles. This is a very popular tool in many industries. Like all Fromm’s tools this is ergonomically designed and comes with a detailed user manual.
The A480 need not necessarily be suspended and permits mobile operation. However, the option for suspending this tool is also possible. The tool uses push seals and are very apt for strapping round and narrow packages. The A480 uses the push seal. With this kind of sealing, the seal is pushed by the tool with steel threaded through in order to pull good tension.
The tool is available in two different tensioning levels. There is also a heavier and larger version in A483 that was brought out by Fromm recently. Though the A483 is heavier and larger than the A482, it performs all the same functions. But with its smaller size the A480 is by the far the most chosen tool for its light weight and easy operation. This tool has a great operator mobility and this results in the more completed applications in a very short time.
With the arrival of combination tools in the market, strapping has become very easy. More industries are switching over to these tools as they are very convenient and also efficient. As the A480 is light in weight and compact in design it is a much sort after tool in the market. The foot plate in the A480 is quite small and can squeeze into a tight place easily and it allows the tool to strap unique round and awkward packages.
Specifications
- Strap Qualities: High tensile (Ultraflex)
- Strap Dimensions: 10.0 – 19.0 x 0.38 – 0.63 mm / 3/8 – ¾” Wide x .015 – .025″ Thick
- Tension Versions: 2500 N, 4500 N
- Sealing Type: .75 Inch Push Seal
- Weight: 4.5 kg / 9.9 pounds
Fromm tools provide a friendly user interface and so operators like to use these tools. The tool also provides a strong joint and a high bonding strength of 75%.
The dimensions of the banding and the distance between the roller and the pad can be adjusted along with the cutter’s depth in order to fit the desired application requirements.
Industry experts have given a positive review of the tool and have said that the industry has received these tools well as it is more convenient than conventional pneumatic tools. There are two tension variations to this tool and can be used accordingly depending on the application.
__________________________________________________________________________P359 – NEW Fromm Pneumatic Strapping Tool
The sleek new tool from Fromm is the P359 and is considered a great poly strapping combination tool. Though it looks like the battery combination tool, it pulls more tension due to the pneumatic function. It is a very strong tool and industry users have been satisfied as it pulls about 1570 pounds of tension.
The P359 is also a sealless tool and metal seals have been eliminated. With this tool, being a sealless one, the cost of metal seals have cut down costs considerably as metal seals are expensive. The price of poly strapping less than steel strapping and so this tool is worth it as it is very cost effective.
The P359 can run either in the semi-automatic or manual mode. The operator can decide which feature can fit their strapping needs best and operate the buttons in the tool accordingly. This tool uses the friction weld seal and give a good joint efficiency.
The tension can be adjusted for individual strapping applications.
Specifications
- Strap Qualities: Polyester (PET)
- Strap Dimensions: 1″ or 1.25″ x .040 – .053” (maybe up to .060″)
- Max. Tension: 1,570 pounds
- Sealing Type: Friction-weld sealing
- Weight: around 19 pounds
The tool can adjust the sealing and cooling time and makes sure that the package is secure and sealed. Commonly pneumatic tools are heavier than manual or battery operated tools. But in the case of P359, the tool is very light and weighs only 19 pounds. The other great advantage of this tool is that it is a combination tool doing tensioning, sealing and cutting at the touch of a button.
This tool is largely used for heavy duty applications and so the operator has to ensure that the strapping hold up. Poly strapping is highly shock absorbent and has a high elongation so it can be tightly packed for transportation.
