The PSH402 is a 400mm hand impulse sealer, the simplest and most economical way to seal polythene bags and pouches up to 380mm wide. Lower the jaw, hold while the light is on, release. The bag is sealed.

Impulse sealing means the element only heats while the jaw is closed, so there is no warm-up time and no power drawn between bags. The adjustable timer matches the heat to films from 2 x 25 to 2 x 150 micron, sealing at a 2mm width, at roughly 2 to 6 packages per minute on light duty work.

The 400mm jaw earns its bench space when your bags outgrow a 300mm machine: garment bags, larger mailing bags, wider pouches. If you cut bags from roll stock, the PSH402C adds a sliding cutter; if you just need the width at the lowest cost, the plastic-bodied PSH402V seals the same bags for less.

Common questions

How does an impulse sealer work?

The element under the PTFE strip heats only while the jaw is closed and current flows. Hold the jaw down while the light is on, give it a couple of seconds to cool under pressure, and the seal is done. No warm-up time, no power used between bags.

Which 400mm model should I choose?

Three versions share the 400mm jaw. This PSH402 is the standard metal-body machine. The PSH402C adds a sliding cutter for roll stock work. The PSH402V is the plastic-bodied budget version for lighter, occasional use.

What films can it seal?

Polythene and similar heat-sealable films from 2 x 25 to 2 x 150 micron, on bags up to 380mm wide. If you are unsure about your bag, send us a sample and we will seal it on the machine. Free.
