Strapex STB 83 Battery Powered Plastic Strapping Tool

Strapex STB 83 battery powered strapping tool for PP/PET (12–16 mm)

If you need the speed of an automatic strapping tool without the tripping hazards of cords or air lines, the Strapex STB 83 is made for the job. This battery powered strapping tool combines high, controllable tension with effortless handling, so pallet loads and mixed consignments can be secured consistently at the point of packing, on the loading bay or anywhere on site.

With the STB 83 you tension, seal and cut the strap using one tool. The weight is centred for one‑hand use, and the 4.0 kg balance makes it natural to use vertically or horizontally on pallets, crates and long or irregular items.

Made for PP and PET strapping

The tool works with both polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET) plastic strapping in common warehouse sizes. Strap widths 12–13 mm and 15–16 mm are supported with strap thickness from 0.5 to 1.0 mm. This range covers everything from light cartons to heavier industrial loads, so you can standardise on one handheld strapping machine across many lines.

Touchscreen with real‑time feedback

A bright, easy‑to‑read touchscreen puts key information where you need it. You can monitor applied tension force in real time, check tool status at a glance thanks to colour indications, and store frequently used settings with the favourite strapping function. These features help operators repeat the same high‑quality result across shifts and reduce the time spent on adjustments.

Three operating modes fit your process

Different packing stations and products call for different levels of automation. The STB 83 adapts to the work with three selectable modes:

• Manual: full control of every stage, ideal for trial runs and unusual packs.
• Semi‑automatic: hold to tension, release to weld and cut automatically at the preset level.
• Fully automatic: one press to tension, weld and cut, optimising cycle time and repeatability.

Ergonomics that reduce fatigue

Good ergonomics are about more than comfort; they prevent errors and downtime. The STB 83 has a well‑shaped, non‑slip handle that provides a secure grip in different positions. The balanced body helps you keep a straight wrist whether you’re strapping low on a pallet or at shoulder height on tall loads. Because it’s a cordless strapping tool, there are no leads or hoses to snag, improving both safety and productivity around forklifts and conveyors.

Designed for everyday reliability

Warehouse and production environments are harsh on equipment. Practical details on the STB 83 help the tool stand up to daily use: a strap direction indicator avoids misfeeds, a strap‑dust outlet keeps the internal mechanism cleaner, and integrated battery protection helps extend battery life. The operating temperature range is −10 °C to +40 °C and relative humidity up to typical warehouse levels, so the tool stays dependable through the seasons.

Tested by DEKRA

Strapex tools are built to a high standard. The STB 83 reflects Swiss‑made quality and has been tested and certified by DEKRA. For purchasing teams and safety managers, that means a dependable choice backed by recognised third‑party assessment.
