Choosing A bag Ssaler

A brief summary on a bagsealer’s function, size, speed, and heating elements will help you determine the right sealer for your needs.

There are mainly 2 types of sealers, an impulse heat and a direct heat sealer. 

The impulse heat sealer is used for any thermoplastic material such as a poly bag that requires a lower temperature. It can also be used to seal poly–coated materials. Pack Sealer's impulse sealers with a 2mm wide seal can seal together two sheets of plastic up to 2 x 200μ (2 x 800 gauge). Some of the wider 5mm sealers can seal together thicker materials.
On the other hand, the direct heat sealer or constant heat sealer provides a higher temperature on heated jaws, so it is mostly used for cellophane plastic bags and other thicker thermoplastic or poly-coated materials, bags or pouches.
Other functions to be considered in selecting the right sealer are if you need a cutter.  The impulse sealer is used in some applications for sealing foil based pouches like coffee pouches but they are not really suitable for such materials as the foil dissipates the heat generated.  Those who use inpulse sealers for such material would require the sealer to operate at the limit and sometimes require a second and third seal.  For foil based pouches choose the direct sealer (DD).

Easy to Operate Simply place a bag between the sealing bars, press down and release. When sealing a product for the first time start with the timer control set to 1 press down the arm, the red light will illuminate when the element is heating.  When the light goes out wait for 1 second before releasing the arm. Repeat this increasing the timer control in increments of 1 until the bag is successfully sealed. The impulse sealers do not consume power when not in use.

Size:
The size of sealer to use depends on the width of the material to be sealed. For easy handling, add 20mm or one inch to the width of material to get the size of sealer needed.

Types & Speeds:

Hand Operated Thermal Heat Sealers: the simplest and most economical type of sealer. The sealing bar is manually lowered. Hand impulsesealers are available from 100mm seal length.  Approximately 6-20 plastic bags or packages can be sealed per minute.
Foot Operated Sealers: provide a faster sealing operation. The sealing bar is either pedestal or foot switch controlled, leaving two hands free for faster operation. The foot operated bag sealer is available from 400mm to 800mm with a 5mm seal width on many models. Up to 20 packages can be sealed per minute.
Portable Impulse Hand Operated Heat Sealers: lightweight, handy, very versatile and does not need a big work area. They are fairly quick to operate but the sizes are limited. These sealers are available from 450mm to 1000mm seal length.
