The packaging industry has some of the most complex equipment that some feel it involves rocket science. Machines have to be extremely precise when filling bottles that only have a half inch opening or making sure no to fill a bag so much that it bursts.It is common at the last stage of this complicated process that we find the products bundled together in plastic or boxes. This makes it easy to ship bulk quantities to local buyers or buyers around the world. Most packaging companies prefer to ship their products bundled together using plastic rather than in boxes because they are much lighter and take up less space.
There are many types of bag or plastic sealers that are used for different purposes. To understand which type of commercial bag sealer is best for a specific function listed below are different categories these seals fall into:
Standard Bag Sealers. These types of bag sealers are for sealing pre-made, open mouth heats sealable bags. Once the product is dispensed into the plastic bag, the open end of the bag is pressed with a heated clamp that melts the plastic together sealing the contents inside. These standard sealers may seal up to 500 bags per minute depending on the size.
Industrial Sealers. This is used for applications that require more sealing power and higher speeds than normal. Found in many large packaging companies, industrial sealeris perfect when mass producing bagged products. For example, Kraft's Macaroni and Cheese that we find in every grocery store.
Validatable Bag Sealers. These machines are perfect for packaging medical or pharmaceutical products. These machines make it simple to change out parts of the machine to accommodate for different size bags that are continually interchanged.
Semi-Automatic Sealers. If you want to have multiple people loading your sealer or if you need to load automatically your sealer, these sealers are perfect for the job.
Portable Sealers. If you need a portable sealer, or a low production sealer that may be used occasionally the portable bag sealers are perfect. These machines are small weighing on average about 15 lbs.
Hot Air Sealers. If the product you are packaging is extremely dusty and airborne and is pillow shaped, a hot air sealer is the right machine. For example bags filled with seed or dirt is commonly sealed in this manner. The bag is sealed in an upright position where the top of the bag is guided through the hot air sealer.
Vacuum Sealers. This machine is used to create an air tight package that is best for preserving products. Commercial grade vacuum sealer have been made available for household usage to keep meats and perishables fresh longer.
Competitive advantage is important in this industry due to the large selection of bag sealers. Some bag sealers may even be good for multiple purposes so once you understand the intention of the bag sealer, find out which fits your needs.
