* The value depends on strap quality. The manufacturer reserves the right to make technical changes. The number of cycles per charge also depends on the strap length and how compressible the load is.
Features common to the whole range
- Real-time display of the applied tension force (N or lbf).
- Tension speed depends on how hard you press the button (MAN and SEMI modes).
- "Favourites" function: a second set of settings switched on with one touch.
- Screen backlight colour: green means end of cycle, orange an operating error, red a tool fault.
- Strap position check: incorrectly inserted strap cannot be tensioned.
- Holes for blowing dust out of the welding unit with compressed air.
- Battery cover.
- Welding strap without tension (e.g. for loose bundles).
- Screen lock with a code, so nobody changes the settings by accident.
- Cycle counter and inspection reminder every 80 000 cycles.
Choosing a model
The model depends first of all on the width of the strap you use. Only then do you look at the tension force the load needs.
- 9-13 mm strap, cartons and lighter bundles → BXT4-13.
- 12-16 mm strap, typical pallets in warehouses and production → BXT4-16.
- 15-19 mm strap, thick PET strap, paving blocks, bricks, timber, steel → BXT4-19.
- 25-32 mm strap and tension up to 7000 N → BXT3-32 series (see bxt3.pl).
If you are not sure what strap you have, send us a photo of the label on the coil or a piece of strap and we will suggest a model.
