Direct Heat Sealers – Seal Line Choices

Our direct heat (constant heat) sealers are available in two different seal types:  meshed or serrated.  Before purchasing your sealer, determine which seal line you are looking for as your sealer will only be able to provide one type of seal.

Meshed:  provides a woven, knit, or knotted material of open texture with evenly spaced holes

Seal and Code in One Step!

All of our stainless steel band sealers provide you with the option to code your bag whether through embossing or dry ink coding or hot stamp printing.

Embossing leaves an imprint on your material w/o using any type of ink.  Our band sealers will continually emboss characters at the seal line and show up best on darker or foil type of bags!

Band Sealer Embossing Example

CBS-880 / FR-770 offer embossing on the seal line

Dry ink coding prints ink on the bag using an ink roller that is heat activated.  The standard font size is 18PT but we also offer an option of 10.5PT for those seeking smaller print sizes.  Dry ink coding prints a very clear and solid message at the seal line.

MAINTENANCE – Direct Heat (Constant Heat) Sealers

KF-200CS_small

KF-CS Series Portable Direct Heat Sealer

For sealing thicker materials, we are big fans of direct heat sealers – portable or foot operated.  Direct Heat Sealers provide really beautiful seals and are super easy to use.  However, to ensure that your direct heat sealer enjoys a long life, please follow the following easy steps.

  1. Always unplug the sealer from the power source when doing maintenance.
  2. Make sure the unit is not left on when not in use for a period of time.
  3. Do not leave the unit on overnight.  This will shorten the life of the parts.
  4. Find the lowest temperature that will still seal the bag.
  5. Make sure that when the foot board is depressed that the foot board does not hit the ground.
  6. Make sure that the unit is wiped down periodically to remove any excess bag material left behind after sealing.
  7. Remove any food debris from the sealer or seal bars that may have oozed out of the bag when sealing if you are packaging food.
  8. Purchase Silicone Spray from a local hardware store . There are many brands & types.  I would look for food grade Silicone Spray if packaging food.

  9. Spray the Silicone Spray onto a shop rag or tooth brush.  When the sealer is turned off for the day & near cooled, still warm is a perfect time to wipe down the sealer.  Never spray the Silicone Spray directly on to the unit.

Impulse Sealing vs. Direct Heat Sealing – Your Questions Answered

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

Use our handy little chart to help you make a decision but if you still are unsure, please contact us or one of our distributors for assistance!
