IMPULSE SEALERS

What is an Impulse Sealer?

An impulse sealer is a powered tool used to seal different types of plastic packaging—most often poly bags containing groups of parts or components. It uses an impulse of electricity to heat up a metal wire that melts one layer of plastic to the other. This creates a permanent seal that can only be broken by cutting it open later (or ripping it open, for the impatient among us).

One of the advantages of using impulse sealers over heat sealers is that there’s no warm-up time needed—and no need for a cool-down time, either. As a result, they’re a bit safer to use (though, of course, anyone who uses one needed to be properly trained on how to use it).

What businesses use Impulse Sealers?

• Hardware stores and component suppliers
• Automotive stores and part manufacturers
• Electronic stores and component suppliers
• Candy stores, tea retailers, food manufacturers
• Any industry that creates physical products or components

Please Note: Make sure to follow heating instructions or you may incur a improper seal

General use: For sealing polyethylene and polypropylene products. Table top, standard seal and economical. Great for start up operations. Provides a low cost means of obtaining consistently tight seals on plastic films.

Standard sealers can seal up to a 6mil polybag.
