Helping You Choose The Right Tube Sealer
Choosing the right plastic tube sealing machine can be a complex decision. Many companies, particularly startups, seek our guidance on the most suitable equipment for their needs. A frequent question arises when choosing between impulse and constant heat tube sealing technology.
Impulse sealing machines are typically used for single web materials like polyethylene. This tube sealing equipment melts the material to create a seal, requiring a cooling period before the machine’s jaws can be opened. While effective for certain applications, impulse sealing is slower and may not be ideal for high-volume production environments, such as a toothpaste manufacturer requiring a continuous flow of sealed tubes. For such applications, a high-speed tube sealer is essential.
On the other hand, constant heat sealing machines are designed for plastic laminate materials. These tube heat sealers maintain a constant temperature, melting the outer layer of the laminate while perfectly sealing the inner layer. This method is significantly faster, making it the preferred choice for continuous production lines.
The sealing jaws can be integrated with bar or rotary sealers, allowing the plastic tubes to move through the machine on a motorised conveyor belt. This automated approach ensures a consistent and efficient tube sealing process. However, it is crucial to remember that constant heat sealing is unsuitable for polyethylene. Therefore, careful consideration of your product’s packaging requirements is important.
We also offer pneumatically or solenoid-operated sealing machines, often controlled manually via a foot switch. These are excellent solutions for small-scale production or laboratory use, minimising the risk of repetitive strain injury for operators. Whether you need a pharmaceutical tube sealer, a cosmetic tube sealer, a food tube sealer, a chemical tube sealer, or an adhesive tube sealer, we can advise on the best solution.
