Why choose a foot pedal heat sealer
A foot pedal sealer frees both hands to position and hold the bag. You step on the pedal, the jaws close and seal. This is faster and more ergonomic than a hand sealer when you’re sealing bags all day — no repeated pressing of a handle. It’s the natural choice for food production lines and warehouse packing stations where speed and consistency matter.
Foot operated sealers are essential for bags that need both hands to hold open or position, like large polythene sacks or bags being filled from a dispenser. If you also need to trim excess material, consider a heat sealer with cutter for a combined seal-and-cut operation.
Choosing the right seal length
Foot pedal sealers come in 400mm, 600mm, and 800mm seal lengths. The 400mm handles most standard polythene bags. The 600mm suits wider bags used in food packaging and industrial applications. The 800mm PSF805 is for oversized bags and sacks where nothing smaller will do.
If you’re sealing bags from a roll, the seal length determines your maximum bag width. For thicker materials and demanding daily use, look at a heavy-duty heat sealer built for higher seal pressures and longer duty cycles.
Foot pedal sealers with cutters
Some foot pedal models include a built-in cutter blade that trims excess material above the seal. The PSF603C combines a 600mm foot pedal sealer with an integrated cutter — seal and trim in one foot-press. The HM 1800CD from Hulme Martin adds a cutter to a premium foot pedal unit with dual timer controls.
A cutter is particularly useful when sealing from continuous tubing or when bags need trimming to a consistent length. It removes a manual step from the process, which adds up to significant time savings on production lines running hundreds of bags per shift.
Setting up your foot pedal sealer
Foot pedal sealers need a bench or table at a comfortable working height — the sealing jaws sit on the surface while the pedal sits on the floor. Most models need a standard 13A socket. The seal time is adjustable via a dial or digital control. Start with a low setting and increase until you get a clean, complete seal.
Element wire and PTFE tape are the main consumables — replace every 3–6 months depending on daily seal volume. We stock spares for every foot pedal sealer we sell, and our team can walk you through any setup or maintenance over the phone.

"Hi we just bought a new 600mm vertical automatic sealer from pack sealer we had another unit that was foot peddle controlled and we have had no issues with them. But would recommend"
"We were experiencing problems with our heat sealer, we contacted the original company that we bought it from and they said that they had never heard of the issue... On the off chance I decided to call Pack Sealer to see if they had cross across our issue. Got through to Chris and Steve and immediately they said 'Ah we know exactly what you mean' which was such a relief."
"Excellent service today from Chris at PackSealer. I needed some parts delivering urgently. Chris dropped everything and got them on their way within the hr for next day delivery. Thanks Chris much appreciated…"
Common questions
A foot pedal sealer frees both hands to position and hold the bag while your foot activates the seal. This is faster, more ergonomic, and produces more consistent results than a hand-operated sealer — especially over long production runs where repetitive hand pressing causes fatigue.
We stock foot pedal sealers in 400mm, 450mm, 600mm, and 800mm seal lengths. The 400mm suits most standard bags, the 600mm handles wider food and industrial packaging, and the 800mm PSF805 covers oversized bags and sacks.
Yes. The PSF603C has a 600mm seal with an integrated cutter blade, and the Hulme Martin HM 1800CD combines a 450mm foot pedal sealer with a cutter and dual timer controls. Both seal and trim in a single foot-press operation.
The sealing jaws sit on a bench or table at working height, with the foot pedal on the floor connected by a cable. A 400mm model needs roughly 500mm of bench width. Larger models need proportionally more space. Allow room either side for bag handling.
Yes. Foot pedal impulse sealers are widely used in food production for sealing polythene bags, vacuum pouches, and laminated film. The hands-free operation is particularly useful on food production lines where operators need both hands to handle the product and bag.
