Hot air nozzles for tube sealing machines
One of the most popular change parts we manufacture right here in the UK is hot air nozzles for tube filling and sealing machines. We keep a good supply of hot air nozzles in stock, so you don’t need to worry about waiting weeks for delivery when buying from an overseas supplier.
If you are a new company in the process of setting up your production line, it is essential to understand the different types of tube sealing options available and which one best suits your production needs.
You can choose from hot-air sealing, ultrasonic sealing, impulse sealing or hot-jaw sealing options. The most popular, quick and effective tube filling method involves hot air sealing that uses hot air nozzles to direct a blast of heated air to the end of a plastic tube.
The open end of the plastic tube becomes soft enough to create an airtight seal when pinched together with sealing jaws. This creates an airtight, strong and professional looking tube seal.
Choosing the correct type
There are different types of tube materials to choose from. Each type of tube material will react differently to hot air sealing. For example, hot air sealing tubes made from monolayer polyethene are much easier and quicker than sealing a multi-layer COEX tube.
You will need to use the proper type of hot air nozzles to suit your tube filling and sealing machinery and the plastic tubing you are using. But one of the main advantages of hot air secure sealing is that it works with the broadest range of plastic and laminate plastic tube materials.
Whether your tube material is LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, PP, Monolayer or multi-layer with or without EVOH barrier protection, you will find that hot air tube sealing should work exceptionally well.
Hot air nozzle size
You will need to match the hot air nozzle size to each diameter tube that you are sealing. Luckily, MSD Ltd. is here to help if you need any guidance or advice when setting up your new manufacturing production line.
We can recommend and supply the right size of hot air nozzles according to your needs. If you are a mixed product manufacturer handling different types of plastic or laminate tubing material. In that case, we can advise you about the care and maintenance of your change parts as you set up your production line for different product runs.
