Reliable load securing depends heavily on the quality and performance of strapping heads. In automated packaging environments, these components perform the critical functions of tensioning, sealing and cutting strap material with speed and accuracy. FROMM Packaging Systems offers advanced solutions engineered for demanding industrial applications where efficiency, consistency and durability are essential.
What Are Strapping Heads?
Strapping heads are integrated units used within automated packaging systems to apply strap around products or palletised loads. These units automatically feed, tension, seal and cut the strap during the securing process. By automating these stages, businesses improve throughput, reduce labour requirements and maintain consistent load stability.
FROMM manufactures solutions for both plastic and steel applications, allowing businesses to match the correct system to their operational requirements.
Plastic Strapping Heads for High-Speed Operations
FROMM’s plastic strapping heads are designed for polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET) strap applications. These systems are commonly used in industries such as logistics, food production, corrugated packaging and manufacturing where high cycle speeds and reliable sealing are important.
A key feature is their electrically driven operation, which supports efficient performance with reduced maintenance requirements. Heat-weld sealing technology creates strong, dependable joints while maintaining rapid processing speeds.
Benefits include:
- Consistent strap tension and sealing quality
- High operational speed for automated production lines
- Reduced consumable waste through precise control
- Compatibility with different strap widths and materials
These systems are ideal for securing cartons, pallet loads and lightweight industrial products.
Steel Strapping Heads for Heavy-Duty Applications
For heavier or more rigid loads, FROMM offers specialised steel strapping heads built for demanding industrial environments. These systems are suitable for industries such as steel manufacturing, timber processing, construction materials and metal fabrication.
They are engineered to deliver high tension levels while maintaining reliable seal integrity. Many models utilise sealless joint technology, which reduces the need for additional sealing materials and improves operational efficiency.
Key advantages include:
- Exceptional load security for heavy products
- Durable construction for continuous industrial use
- Reliable tension retention during transport and storage
- Integration into fully automated production systems
These solutions are particularly effective where maximum holding force and load stability are required.
