The ITI-21 Battery Powered Strapping Tool is a professional cordless strapping tool designed for medium to heavy-duty PET and PP strapping applications. Manufactured in Italy by ITIPACK, the ITI-21 combines tensioning, friction welding and strap cutting into one portable tool, providing a fast and reliable alternative to traditional manual tensioners and sealers. Its higher-performance design makes it particularly well suited to demanding industrial environments where strong and consistent strap tension is required.

The ITA-21 is an excellent choice for steel, timber and engineering applications, as well as building products, manufacturing, logistics, distribution and heavy pallet securing. It can be used for strapping timber packs, steel products, fabricated components, engineering products, building materials, heavy cartons and palletised loads. Its combination of portability and strong tensioning performance makes it suitable for businesses that need to secure heavier or more demanding loads while retaining the benefits of PET strapping.

A Proven Italian Battery Strapping Tool

The ITI-21 is one of ITIPACK's best-known battery powered plastic strapping tools and has been used worldwide across a wide variety of industries.

Its popularity comes from its relatively simple design. Rather than loading the tool with unnecessary features, the ITI-21 provides the essential functions required for everyday PET and PP strapping in a compact and robust package.

At approximately 4kg including the battery, the ITI-21 is light enough for portable use around a warehouse or production facility while still providing up to 4000N of tension.

Adjustable Tension up to 4000N

Different products require different levels of strap tension. A lightweight carton does not require the same tension as a solid palletised load, which is why adjustable tension is important.

The ITI-20 provides a tension range of approximately 1100N to 4000N, allowing the operator to select an appropriate tension for the product being secured.

This makes the ITI-21 particularly useful for Medium and heavy duty applications.

Friction Weld Technology – No Metal Seals Required

One of the biggest advantages of a battery powered PET strapping tool is that no separate metal seal is required.

After tensioning, the ITI-20 uses high-speed friction between the two overlapping layers of plastic strap. This generates enough heat to soften the surfaces of the PET or PP strap. The layers are pressed together and rapidly cool to create the finished joint.

This process is commonly known as friction welding.

The manufacturer specifies joint strength at approximately 75% of the breaking strength of the strap, although actual joint efficiency varies depending on the type, dimensions and quality of the strapping being used.

Removing metal seals from the process can reduce consumable costs while also making the strapping process considerably faster than using a traditional manual tensioner and sealer.

Suitable for 13mm, 16mm & 19mm PET and PP Strapping

The ITI-21 Battery Powered Strapping Tool is designed for use with a range of PET and PP plastic strapping, making it particularly suitable for medium to heavy-duty industrial applications.

The ITI-21 can be used with:

  • 16mm PET strapping
  • 19mm PET strapping
  • 16mm PP strapping
  • 19mm PP strapping
  • A range of compatible strap thicknesses depending on the strap width and material

ITI-21 BENEFITS

  • High-Capacity 5Ah Makita Battery – Powered by a reliable 5Ah Makita battery, providing long operating life between charges and making the ITA-21 well suited to regular industrial strapping applications.
  • High-Efficiency Friction Weld Seal – The ITI-21 uses friction weld technology to join PET or PP strapping without the need for separate metal seals. This produces a strong and consistent joint while reducing the number of consumables required during strapping.
  • Simple Manual Operating Mode – The ITI-21 operates in a straightforward manual mode, giving the operator direct control over strap tensioning and welding. Its simple controls make it easy to introduce into existing packing and production environments without unnecessarily complicating the strapping process.

For businesses moving from traditional manual tensioners and sealers to a battery powered strapping tool, the ITI-21 provides an easy transition while delivering significant improvements in speed, consistency and operator efficiency. Its combination of strong tensioning performance, cordless operation and simple controls makes it particularly suitable for medium to heavy-duty applications including steel, timber, engineering, manufacturing and heavy pallet strapping.

Where Can the ITI-21 Be Used?

The ITI-21 Battery Powered Strapping Tool is designed for medium to heavy-duty strapping applications where strong, consistent tension and a reliable friction-weld joint are required. Its cordless design makes it particularly useful in operations where the tool needs to move between pallets, packs and different work areas rather than remaining at a fixed packing station.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where Can the ITA-21 Be Used?

The ITA-21 Battery Powered Strapping Tool is designed for medium to heavy-duty strapping applications where strong, consistent tension and a reliable friction-weld joint are required. Its cordless design makes it particularly useful in operations where the tool needs to move between pallets, packs and different work areas rather than remaining at a fixed packing station.

In warehouses and distribution centres, the ITA-21 can be used for securing palletised cartons, building products, manufactured goods and other heavy loads before storage or transport. Battery operation allows the tool to be taken directly to the pallet, making it a practical option for busy dispatch and packing areas.

For timber yards and timber processing facilities, the ITA-21 is well suited to strapping packs of timber, boards, panels and other bundled wood products. PET strapping is commonly used for these applications because it provides high strength while retaining some elasticity as loads move, settle or compress.

In steel yards and engineering facilities, the ITA-21 can be used for securing suitable steel products, fabricated components, metal sections and other industrial loads with heavy-duty PET strapping. It provides an alternative to manual strapping equipment for applications where PET offers sufficient load restraint without requiring traditional steel strap.

The ITA-21 is also suitable for the brick, block and building products industries, where strong PET strapping can be used to secure heavy palletised products for handling and transport. Its higher tension capability makes it a good choice for dense and demanding loads where lighter-duty strapping tools may not provide sufficient tension.

Within recycling and waste processing facilities, the ITA-21 can be used for securing compressed cardboard, plastics and other baled or bundled recyclable materials. Its portability is particularly beneficial in these environments, allowing operators to strap products wherever they are processed, stored or prepared for transport.

Overall, the ITA-21 is a versatile choice for warehousing, timber, steel, engineering, bricks and building products, recycling, manufacturing and general heavy-duty pallet securing, particularly for businesses looking to move away from manual tensioners and sealers to a faster battery powered strapping system.
