Signode BXT2-19

The Signode BXT2-19 is a battery operated combination poly strapping tool designed for fast banding applications. It is designed for 5/8 and 3/4 inch polyester strapping. When used in automatic mode, it can pull the strapping to the pre-set tensioning and then welds and cuts it. And all of this takes just seconds to complete. Once the strap is welded, it will count down to zero (automatically) and then alerts with a beep sound.

This PET plastic strapping tool is designed for ease of use and highly effective and efficient operation. It can accommodate all kinds of load – ranging from light duty to heavy duty. It is capable of generating adjustable tensioning force up to a maximum of 880 lbs.

Signode is very particular about safety while using their tools. This is one of the reasons that they bring out a comprehensive safety and user manual with every tool they manufacture. They also provide sufficient training to the users when they purchase one of their tools. They also help in installing and trouble shooting equipment if the customer has a problem while using it.

The BXT2 tool series is available in 3 different sizes:

3/8″- 1/2″ – BXT2-10

All the above tools have good safety features and are reliable. They are not known to break down during harsh strapping conditions. As the tools are light in weight, the operator can carry them around easily. Unlike pneumatic tools, these tools do not need airlines running around the floor and that is an added advantage. This tool eliminates operator fatigue to a large extent and so operators find it a very convenient tool.

When a tool fails to function after trouble shooting as per the manual, it is better to send the tool for repairs to a certified technician rather than the operator fiddling with it.
