A461- Awesome Sealer, Great for Big Loads
The A461 is a pneumatic strapping sealer that is generally operated single handedly to apply an up cut double notch joint. It takes just one push to apply the seal and secure it smoothly. It also comes fitted with a safety mechanism that will prevent defective seal joints that happens sometimes due a faulty move by a tool operator. The A461 fixes this problem easily.
The A461 can be used with the A452, a tensioner tool from Fromm. These tools are very good for strapping large and hard to strap applications. So they are largely used for strapping timber, metal beams, coils, pipes and other products with small surfaces and large diameters. The A461 is the strongest in the pneumatic family and it pulls around 1,900 pounds of tension.
Specifications
- Strap Qualities: High tensile (Ultraflex) up to 1100 N/mm
- Strap Dimensions: 19.0 – 32.0 x 0.63 – 1.00 mm / 1.25″ x .025 – .040″
- Tensioning: With separate tensioner A452
- Weight: 4.2 kg / 9.3 pounds
This is a very light weight tool and this is a big advantage to operators who have to carry it around in the work place. The A461 is a really strong tool in the pneumatic family and it can be used effectively with a suspension bracket and a spring loaded balancer. This is highly recommended depending on the weight of the tool and the application it will be strapping.
To avoid hassles like this, many prefer using a good combination tool. The only notable disadvantage with the A461 is that it is a separate sealing tool. Combination tools are good to tension, seal and cut, all in the touch of a button. Using a combination tools can also reduce the number of tools the operator has to use for tensioning, sealing and cutting separately and this takes up a little more time than doing it all at once.

OR-T 250 Poly Band It Tool
Battery operated tools are the most favored strapping tools presently. Many industries are switching over to battery operated tools these days as they are very fast and efficient. Industries are also switching over from steel to plastic strapping as steel strapping is expensive. The tool that is very user friendly for plastic strapping is the OR-T 250. This tool can run manually, semi-automatically and in the automatic mode. There is also a soft corner mode for fragile packages.
Orgapack is a popular manufacturer who caters to the packaging industry. Over the years, many improvements have been made and presently there are no flaws in the tools. The motor and boards have become more durable. The ORT-250 also uses the 1.4V Lithium-ion battery from Bosch that is very durable and has become a very popular battery for packaging tools. The battery can complete about 400 applications per full charge.
Prominent features of the ORT-250 include an adjustable tensioning force and an adjustable strap width option. It can pull a tensioning force of up to 560 pounds. The tool comes with two lithium batteries of 14.4 V each and a charger. It works in a soft mode too which makes it safe to strap small and fragile packages.
Specifications
- Tool length: 13.1” (334 mm)
- Tool width: 5.4” (138 mm)
- Tool height: 5.8” (148 mm)
- Tool weight (including battery): 8.5 pounds (3.9 kg)
- Tensioning force: Fully adjustable up to 560 pounds
- Tensioning speed: 8.6 inches/second
- Battery Charging Time: Approx. min. 15-30 minutes
The ORT-250 applies a sealless joint using the friction weld sealing method. This is very convenient and also avoids the cost of metal seals which are expensive in the long run. This tool is considered very cost effective due to this fact and many industries prefer this tool for this reason. This tool guarantees perfect sealing each time and there is no fear that the seal with rust during transit. The friction weld sealing can also withstand the weather without getting damaged.
The ORT-250 takes just three seconds to complete the entire sealing process. Due to this saving of time, the entire process becomes cost effective and thus seems a good investment for the industry to use this tool. There is a digital display panel that shows the preset tension level and there is also the option to change it depending on the application. This tool comes in two models. The ORT-250 suits poly strapping size ½”-5/8” and the ORT-400 which is the larger version of 250 suits sizes 5/8”-3/4”.
