It applies strap tensions in the range 0/2500N and produces joint strengths 75/85% efficient. Joint strengths are an important safety consideration as many believe – mistakenly – that a metal clip produces a stronger strap joint and there many end users buying a strong strap, say 300 kgs but using a metal clip that lets the strap pull through with as little as 70 Kgs applied load. Tension with the SBXT-2 is applied by a brushless wear free motor that can apply up to 400 straps per battery charge, and full tensions are applied until the last strapping cycle.
