Plastic Strapping Tool Solutions that Boost Uptime and Safety

Selecting the right plastic strapping tool pays off in speed, consistency and product protection. FROMM Packaging Systems offers a proven portfolio for PP and PET strap – from compact handheld devices to heavy-duty units – backed by local service and parts in South Africa. Choosing a plastic strapping tool that matches your strap width, load type and throughput will minimise damage and rework while standardising your finish across shifts.

Battery tools: mobile power for busy lines

Ideal where operators move between stations, FROMM battery models deliver friction-weld seals, repeatable tension and simple, one-handed controls.

Functions: Tension, seal and cut in one pass; Li-Ion batteries keep cycles high.
Applications: General manufacturing, logistics, contract packing, on-site palletising.
Benefits: No air lines; fast cycle time; consistent seals.

Representative models include P328 (12-16 mm strap, 0.40-1.05 mm thickness) and P328S with selectable modes and approx. 75% seal efficiency (strap-quality dependent). The narrow-strap P318 (9-13 mm) suits lighter bundles, while P331 adds higher performance options for demanding PET work. Each plastic strapping tool in this range uses reliable friction-weld sealing and rugged construction for daily industrial use.

Pneumatic tools: robust performance for HD loads

Where continuous duty and higher tensions are required – or electricity is restricted – pneumatic models excel.

Functions: Air-powered tensioning with friction-weld sealing; selectable manual or semi-automatic operation on certain models.
Applications: Timber, bricks, metals, building products and tough warehouse environments.
Benefits: Consistent high tension with low operator effort; minimal electrical risk.

The P358 plastic strapping tool handles 16-19 mm PET/PP with adjustable tension (ranges available per type) and sealless welds, making it a go-to for heavy applications.

Manual tools: cost-effective, reliable basics

For low volumes and simple set-ups, manual solutions remain practical.

Functions: Separate or combination tensioning and sealing using serrated seals.
Applications: Flat packages, crates, cases and occasional pallet work.
Benefits: Low acquisition cost, lightweight, easy maintenance.

FROMM’s P403/P404 plastic strapping tool options work with 13-16 mm PP/PET and dedicated serrated seals to achieve secure joints – ideal as entry solutions or line backups.

How to specify the right tool

Confirm strap type and size (PP or PET; width/thickness).
Map throughput and duty cycle (battery vs air).
Consider ergonomics, seal strength targets and service support.

A fit-for-purpose plastic strapping tool improves load security and operator productivity, reduces returns, and standardises presentation. FROMM’s portfolio covers the full spectrum, so your teams can deploy the exact plastic strapping tool for each station and load profile.

Packaging Solutions that Drive Efficiency and Product Protection

Efficient, reliable and secure packaging is essential for today’s supply chains. With the pace of operations moving ahead faster than ever, businesses require reliable packaging solutions that keep goods safe, streamline processes and reduce costs. FROMM Packaging Systems provides a complete suite of solutions designed to protect goods, improve workflow and reduce damage during storage and transport. Our portfolio covers strapping, wrapping, protective and automated technologies, with each category engineered to address specific needs across industries such as logistics, manufacturing, retail and e-commerce.

Strapping solutions: securing loads with confidence

FROMM’s strapping equipment includes manual, battery-powered and pneumatic tools as well as fully automatic machines. These systems are compatible with both steel and plastic strapping materials, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications or lighter bundles. Strapping is widely used for palletising, bundling and unitising products, and FROMM’s product range ensures consistent strap tension, reduced damage and improved handling efficiency.

Wrapping solutions: stabilising pallets and consignments

Stretch wrapping systems from FROMM range from mobile robots to turntable and orbital machines. By applying stretch film evenly, they stabilise palletised goods for transport and protect them from dust, moisture and shifting. Benefits include enhanced load security, reduced manual labour and film-saving technology that lowers overall packaging costs. These systems are especially effective in distribution centres, warehouses and manufacturing plants.

Protective solutions: cushioning fragile and high-value items

FROMM’s protective range includes Airpad and Paperpad systems that generate cushioning material on demand. Air-filled mats and paper pads absorb impact and prevent movement during transit, offering a cleaner, space-saving alternative to loose-fill. These protective systems are highly versatile, supporting sectors such as electronics, glassware and e-commerce. Advantages include reduced damage rates, faster packing speed and more sustainable material usage.

Automated solutions: integrating packaging into production lines

For high-throughput environments, FROMM provides automated strapping and wrapping systems that integrate seamlessly into production or logistics lines. With features such as modular arches, conveyors and programmable controls, these automated systems enhance throughput, cut labour costs and deliver consistent, repeatable results. They are particularly valuable in industries where efficiency and precision are critical.
