Selecting an automated bag sealer to help with packaging can be a daunting task. Matter of fact, finding the best bag sealer is essential in determining how productive you will be on certain projects. There are three different kinds of automated bag sealers: Single impulse, double impulse, and constant heat. Below we’ll talk about the each kind and how they can help you in your business.

The first type of automated bag sealer, single impulse, uses a single piece of Ni-Chrome that is wire mounted in the upper or lower aw of the actual sealer in order to produce the type of seal you want. The wire element can be round or flat an comes in several different widths. The round wire elements are basically used for cut and seal operations like shrink film. On the other hand, flat wire elements usually come in widths from 1/8 inches to 3/8 inches. In fact, 1/8 inches is the most popular. Double impulse sealers have an element in both the upper and lower jaws of the machine.

Double impulse sealers are are typically used to seal thick materials such as foil bags. Constant heat sealers are always on. Plus they are always ready to go. Electrical resistance heaters can mount in or on the sealing bars. The sealing surface of these bars are designed to produce a cross-hatch pattern in the seal but you can also get a horizontal line pattern. An automatic bag sealer works like hand operated units. Automatic bag sealers work with a wide range of materials like soft and hard plastics. From standard to industrial you are sure to find exactly what you need.
