The DD160 is a portable battery-powered strapping tool that tensions, friction-welds and cuts polypropylene or polyester strap. Specifically, this handheld combination tool handles 13–16 mm PP and PET strapping while delivering 650–3,000 N of adjustable tension. As a result, operators can secure pallets, bundles, cartons and other loads without separate tensioners, sealers or metal seals.
Because the DD160 combines three strapping operations in one tool, it helps crews complete each strap with fewer steps. Its cordless design also lets operators move around large products, warehouse aisles and shipping areas without managing air hoses or power cords.
Moreover, adjustable tension and weld settings help users match the tool to the selected strap and load. Therefore, the DD160 supports consistent results while reducing the physical effort associated with manual strapping tools.
The DD160 works with both polypropylene and polyester strap from 13 to 16 mm wide. Specifically, polypropylene offers an economical option for cartons, light bundles and loads that may settle during transit. Polyester, meanwhile, provides greater retained tension for rigid, heavy or demanding loads.
Operators can adjust tension from 650 to 3,000 N, or approximately 146 to 674 pounds of force. However, the correct setting depends on the strap, product strength, edge protection and shipping conditions. Consequently, users should test each packaging setup before releasing it for production.
A rechargeable battery powers the DD160 during mobile packaging work. In addition, published configurations provide approximately 100–200 strapping cycles per charge and an estimated 60-minute charging time. Actual output, however, depends on tension, weld time, strap characteristics, temperature and battery condition.
Battery voltage, chemistry and included accessories can vary between production versions. Therefore, Ameripak will confirm the current battery pack, charger and accessory package when specifying the tool.
Strap-gauge limits and battery specifications may differ by supplied version. Therefore, verify the intended strap dimensions and current tool configuration before ordering.
The DD160 suits applications that require operators to move the tool to the load. For example, its portable format works well with large pallets, long bundles and products that do not move easily through a fixed workstation.
Alternatively, facilities that bring each package to a dedicated strapping station may prefer the EMC-45ND semi-automatic strapping machine. Higher-volume operations that need automatic strap feeding and arch-based cycling can consider the JN-85UT automatic strapping machine. Therefore, package size, production volume and material flow should guide the final equipment choice.
Ameripak helps match the DD160 with the correct PP or PET strap for each load. First, the team reviews package weight, dimensions, rigidity and handling conditions. Then, Ameripak helps establish suitable tension and weld settings for reliable strap joints. Finally, dependable access to strapping materials, parts and technical guidance supports long-term tool performance.
