Sealing Properties

The P-331 is part of the series of battery tools for plastic strapping that also include P-328/329. These tools use friction weld system to apply the seal. This helps in reducing the higher costs of using steel seals and the costs of stocking. The P329 and P328 are highly successful and popular predecessors to this latest battery tool.

Alternative Tool

The P359 is a pneumatic plastic strapping tool from the same brand and can be used as an alternative tool for PET straps of width 1-1/4 inch. Both these battery and pneumatic tools are capable of generating same maximum tension and apply friction weld seal. However, the pneumatic tool is heavier than P-331.
