What is an Impulse Heat Sealer?

An impulse heat sealer is a specialised type of heat sealer that utilises a brief burst of heat to create a secure seal on materials, typically plastic bags or poly bags. This method ensures a strong and reliable seal while minimising the risk of overheating or damaging the material.

The impulse heat sealer is designed to provide precise control over the sealing process, making it an essential tool in various industries such as food, medical, and laboratory settings. Its ability to deliver consistent results with minimal energy consumption makes it a preferred choice for many applications.

Benefits of Using an Impulse Sealer

Impulse sealers offer numerous advantages over other types of heat sealers, making them a popular choice for businesses and manufacturers. Here are some key benefits:

• Precise Control: Impulse sealers allow for exact control over the sealing process, ensuring a strong and reliable seal every time.
• Energy Efficiency: By using a brief burst of heat, impulse sealers reduce energy consumption and minimise the risk of overheating.
• Flexibility: These sealers can handle a wide range of materials, including plastic bags, poly bags, and various packaging materials.
• Safety: Designed with safety in mind, impulse sealers feature automatic shut-off and other safety mechanisms to prevent accidents.
• Cost-Effective: Often more affordable than other types of heat sealers, impulse sealers provide excellent value for money, making them a smart investment for businesses.

Which Impulse Sealers do you stock?

For those projects that require a hand held sealer machine, the ISZ models are perfect for sealing work that requires a portable device to manoeuvre around large or awkwardly sized objects. Retailers, among other users, benefit greatly from the versatility of these machines.

Where the stability of a table top sealer is required then a wide choice of both manual, semi-automatic and continuous band sealers are available to suit. The tabletop impulse sealer is versatile and efficient for various settings such as coffee shops, laboratories, and food packaging.

Manual impulse sealers require you to compress the bars onto the packaging itself to conduct the weld. Simply set the timer and push the top down to operate the device effectively.

Semi-automatic impulse machines often feature a foot pedal operation to initiate the seal cycle. This contributes to both safety and speed as the operator is able to keep both hands free and position the packaging onto the bars safely. These machines are the answer for businesses needing efficiency and speed.

In addition to options that enhance the efficiency of the machines like tables and rollers, all our manual and semi-automatic impulse bag sealers feature a cutting knife allowing you to cut the film packaging to size and make your own bags.

Often those that require an impulse machine will need to maintain the seal integrity on a consistent basis. Clients operating in the life sciences sector will require a sealing machine that conforms to BS EN ISO 11607 sterile packaging validation testing requirements, of which have many platforms to choose from.

Where air extraction and/or gas purging is required we also have many customisable options for vacuum sealing and flushing.
