Friction Weld Tools
What are Friction Weld Tools?
Friction Weld tools are automatic, battery powered, 3-in-1 combination tools that tension, seal and cut the strapping in no time at all.
First, it tensions the strapping tightly around the pallet and then finishes it off through the use of heat to create a sturdy seal.
Designed with a long service life in mind, the only drawback is that they are currently only to be used with polyester (PET) or polypropylene strapping.
We also sell the separate batteries for when they need to be replaced.
