BXT2-19 – Signode’s Fastest Battery Powered Strapping Tool
As the packaging industry continues to evolve, so does the strapping tool industry that innovates new tools and improves on existing tools. With the design and development of battery tools the packaging industry has several options to choose from, right from steel strapping tools to poly strapping tools. Strapping tools manufactures like Signode, Orgapack and Fromm, constantly bring out new designs that would help the packaging industry. Signode’s BXT2-19 is one such tool that is considered the fastest tool for poly strapping.
The BXT2-19 comes with two 18V Lithium-ion batteries and a charger. Industry experts believe that this is the tool that can run 5/8” to ¾” PET strapping most effectively and efficiently. An advantage of this tool is that the guides can be changed to allow different widths of strapping. The strapping can then be pulled to the desired tension and then it welds and cuts. Because of the automation, when the tool welds, it counts down to zero and then the tool beeps indicating that the weld has cooled. All this is done in a simple and effective operation.
The Bosch batteries are presently a rage in the industry as they are very long lasting. This battery helps in increasing the productivity as it is very fast and efficient. The BXT2-19 is ergonomic in design and is a very balanced tool.

The BXT2-19 is way ahead of its competitors for its flawless mechanism. The tool’s handle has a good grip. The operator can use it without worrying if the tool would tip forward or backward during the tensioning and sealing operations. The tool can be operating upside down, horizontal, or vertical depending on where the friction weld seal is going to be placed. The BXT2-19 is ideal to strap objects with tight or difficult strapping due to its small sized interface.
Most of the BXT2 series of tools are well received in the market and are preferred by many due to its ease of use. The tensioning levels can be pre-set before each strapping process. The tool can also accommodate all kinds of load types, from light duty to heavy duty and has a good tensioning force that ranges between 88 to 880 pounds.
