The friction welder is a handheld strapping tool designed to securely seal straps in place using its friction welding function.
It works by creating friction between the ends of the strapping material, usually made of plastic or polyester, which generates enough heat to melt and fuse the ends together.
This process forms a strong and secure seal, effectively holding the items being packaged in place.
The friction welder is operated manually, enabling users to quickly and efficiently seal the strapping without the need for additional tools or equipment.
It offers a convenient and versatile solution for securing various types of packages and parcels during transit.
Friction welders have a friction weld function to generate heat, effectively welding a plastic strap in place without the need for tying it off or applying adhesive.
The heat produced during this process causes the ends of the plastic strap to fuse together, forming an incredibly strong bond.
The friction welder is an all-in-one solution that effortlessly tightens, cuts and seals your strapping in a simple and fast manner. It is commonly used with polyester and polypropylene hand-applied strapping, offering a robust and durable fastening solution.
Friction welding is renowned for producing strong, durable and reliable welds. It significantly improves strapping efficiency, reducing manual strain and ensuring consistent seals. However, the best and strongest weld will depend on the type of application and material used. Generally, friction welding is best suited for thicker components and may not be as effective with thinner materials. It's always wise to seek advice from a packaging specialist to discuss your specific needs.
