Category FAQs
What is the difference between an impulse heat sealer and a constant heat sealer?
It comes down to how they apply heat. Impulse heat sealers only draw power and heat up when the sealing arm is pressed down, making them energy-efficient and ideal for everyday plastic bags or thinner polythene. Constant heat sealers stay at a steady, high temperature continuously, which is necessary for sealing thicker, heavy-duty materials like foil pouches, laminated films, and thick barrier packaging.
When should I choose an automatic impulse heat sealer over a manual or handheld model?
If your packing team is processing a high volume of items daily, an automatic impulse heat sealer is the best choice. It uses an electric motor or a foot pedal to cycle the sealing jaw automatically, freeing up both hands so the operator can position bags quickly. For lower volumes or odd-shaped items, a handheld and portable heat sealer offers better flexibility.
What do your heat sealer kits contain, and when should they be used?
Our heat sealer kits are tailored maintenance packs designed to keep your specific machinery running efficiently and prevent unexpected downtime. Depending on your model, these kits contain essential parts that naturally wear out over time, including heating elements, upper and lower Teflon strips, safety fuses, and integrated replacement cutter blades. Swapping these parts out regularly ensures your machine continues to create a clean, consistent bond without scorching the film.
Do I need specialised rollers or accessories for my heat sealing workstation?
While not strictly required to make a seal, adding rollers and heat sealer accessories to your workstation dramatically increases packing speed and reduces operator fatigue. Rollers allow large, heavy rolls of lay flat tubing or film to unwind smoothly directly behind the machine, while specialised workstations and cutting attachments help you trim bags to the perfect size instantly.
What types of packaging materials can be used with this range?
Our versatile machinery is compatible with a wide variety of standard commercial materials, including polythene (PE), polypropylene (PP), bubble bags, and shrink film. For standard plastic bags, our impulse models are ideal, while thicker laminated bags, foil pouches, and heavy-duty industrial materials are best handled by our constant heat range.
