Pneumatic Strapping Tools

Pneumatic strapping tools provide strong and consistent tensioning which are ideal for high-volume and demanding operations. Compared to manual tools, a pneumatic strapping machine can significantly reduce operator fatigue with its ability to utilise compressed air. Conversely, battery-powered tools may offer the convenience of portability but may not tension and seal straps as quickly. 

Both pneumatic steel and pneumatic plastic strapping are highly capable strapping solutions but the better option will ultimately depend on your needs. Businesses in the metals industry generally prefer to work with steel strapping to handle hot metals, pipes, tubes, and hexpacks. On the other hand, PET straps can handle light to heavy applications but are much better for fixed workstations. In this case, opt for steel when handling hot, heavy, dense products and go for plastic if you’re handling a wider range of light to heavy equipment.

Pneumatic strapping machines are a great choice for businesses with moderate to high packaging needs. They excel in demanding strapping tasks since the high tension force they provide allows them to secure products that are used in construction, metalworking, and manufacturing.

Generally, pneumatic machines are best for businesses with fixed strapping stations. Since they’ll require a connection to an air compressor so its hoses and airlines may be an inconvenience if operators need to move around often. But if you need to secure heavy items like bricks, steel beams, timber and more, then getting a pneumatic strapping tool will serve as one of your best investments yet.
