Band Sealers

Band sealers are extremely useful when it comes to packaging many different products in sealed bags or containers in quick succession. These machines are ideally suited to handle high volume packaging tasks when speed and efficiency are required. Although there are many different types of band sealers with different capabilities, each unit seals goods within packages as they pass through a pair of heated jaws. When combined with a conveyor system, a band sealer can secure a large quantity of packages in a short time compared to sealing individual packages by hand. Certain band sealer units that come with a conveyor system are known as continuous band sealers.

Vertical vs Horizontal Continuous Band Sealer

There are two main types of the band sealer used to seal poly bags. Whether you use a vertical or horizontal band sealer usually depends on the kind of material you happen to be packaging. Horizontal band sealers are used when it is possible or necessary to keep a pouch or container laid flat when packaging goods. When keeping your packaging or product bags in an upright position is required, you will want to make sure you have a reliable vertical continuous band sealer on hand to keep things running smoothly. Stapler Warehouse can offer a great selection of high speed, heavy duty band sealers that are able to handle whatever packing requirements you have on a daily basis.

How To Choose The Right Band Sealer?

To determine which type of vertical band sealer you'll require, it is important to keep the specific types of bags you'll be using to pack materials in mind. Depending on the size of bag and thickness of the plastic, you may require a different type of band sealer suited to certain capacity. For the most part, vertical sealers are ideally suited to seal bags that are made to contain liquids as well as solids. Fine powders and grains such as coffee are frequently sealed in upright bags by vertical band sealers that work in concert with a conveyor system. When there is little chance that the items you're packaging will spill from the bag, horizontal band sealers are an ideal choice.

Certain continuous band sealers offer some helpful options making them more efficient and versatile. If you require printed labels or identification numbers on your product packaging, you may be interested in a band sealer with printing capabilities. Other band sealers offer multi-directional conveyor systems, and some are specifically suited to larger weight capacities for sealing packages that contain heavier solid or liquid goods.
