Sealing method – constant/direct heat accompanied by a pair each of cooling and heating blocks
We often get this question: What is the difference between impulse sealing and direct heat sealing and how do I choose??
Impulse sealers – require no warm up time and seal by applying a pulse of energy to the sealing area, followed immediately by cooling. Impulse sealers only use power when the jaw is lowered. **So if you are just sealing your every day poly bags, an impulse sealer will do the trick.**
a 5mm impulse sealer will do the trick for this poly bag
Direct heat sealers (constant heat) – maintain constant heat in both jaws. Direct heat sealers use power as long as the machine is turned on. As a result, direct heat sealers possess better heat penetration in order to seal thicker materials. **If you are sealing thicker materials such as kraft paper or anything with gussets, go with a direct heat sealer.**
Gusset bags require direct heat sealers

Q: I bought a sealer and now the sealer isn’t working! Can you help me?
A: Why, of course we can! We are the sealer experts and can assist you with any sealer problem. Most often, the problem is a simple fix. All you need is a screwdriver, unplug your machine and follow our quick little troubleshooting steps.
Using a screwdriver, loosen the PTFE metal plate and untuck the PTFE cover.
1. Is your heating element / wire broken?
– This is the wire (flat or round) that heats up to seal or cut the bag/film. Remove the PTFE cover and check that the wire is not discolored, bent, or broken.
Check the wire. Make sure the wire runs fully across the sealer.
2. Do you hear the “click” of the microswitch activation?
The microswitch allows the electricity to pass to the heating element which in turn heats up and seals your poly material. Sometimes the microswitch moves out of alignment during shipping and needs a simple adjustment to get the unit back to proper working order.
Remove the bottom plate to locate the microswitch
If you do not hear the “click” of the microswitch, you will want to locate the microswitch and make sure the arm operating bracket touches the microswitch when the sealer arm is brought into contact with the sealer base.
Carefully push the microswitch level to ensure that the level comes in contact with the microswitch trigger.
Carefully push the microswitch level to ensure that the level comes in contact with the microswitch trigger.
Mounting Springs hold the elements on both ends.
3. Are the mounting springs (holding the elements) in tact and in good condition? Make sure that the spring the element mounts on is intact. Replace if damaged. Please check also that the mounting spring is not rusted or worn in any way as this will prevent the element from conducting heat.
Make sure there are no loose connections to the timer.
4. Does the timer light come on when you bring your arm down to meet the base of the sealer? The light on the timer should come on briefly when the seal bar is brought down for sealing. If it does not come on, there maybe some loose wires or the timer may need replacing
The FRS-1120W uses color ribbon printing (similar to our HP-280 imprinter) and provides a stronger adhesion print than dry ink coding and works better in humid environments.

We have two types of sealers that offer a “cut” option: a cut and seal sealer (aka a sealer with a round wire) OR a sealer with a sliding cutter. Please take a look at the two options to determine which sealer works best for you. If you have questions, please contact us or one of our distributors!
Seal and Cut Sealer
A seal and cut sealer is most often used in shrink wrapping film and bags. When using a seal and cut sealer, any excess material above the seal is cut off creating a clean seamless seal.
Seal and Cut Sealer (Round Wire)
When purchasing a seal and cut sealer, ask for an impulse sealer with a ROUND wire instead of a flat wire. Flat wire sealers create seal widths such as 2mm, 5mm, or 10mm seal widths. Round wires create no seam.
If you already have a 2mm sealer, you can easily purchase a round wire heating element and convert your sealer to a cut and seal sealer. Please note: ONLY 2mm sealers can be converted, a 5mm or 10mm sealer CANNOT be converted to a round wire. See our instructions on how to change your heating element wire.
Sealer with Sliding Cutter
Now, a sealer with a sliding cutter is most often used to trim a bag length or seal poly tubing. A sealer with a sliding cutter is equipped with a blade which will cut any excess material about 1/4″ from the seal line.
We carry sealers with cutters in a 2mm and 5mm seal width. We recommend using a 2mm for sealing materials 3-5mil thick (6-10mil total) and 5mm seal width for sealing materials 6-10mil thick (12-20mil total).
Adding to our Shrink Wrapping 101 post last month, we wanted to demonstrate how a shrink tunnel machine works. It’s super easy and maintenance free and sooooooooo much faster than using a heat gun!
We have two dial settings: one for the upper and one for the lower heaters. Adjust the temperature and speed conveyor to your preference. Note: the faster the conveyor, the higher the heat. Play around with the settings…this may take some trial and error. Once your settings are set, place your item with shrink wrap packaging on the conveyor and voila!
