Things to consider before buying a sealing machine

There are different types of sealing and packing machines available in the market and hence, it is better to understand your needs before you start shopping.

Cost

The most important factor to consider is the cost of the sealing machine with respect to your budget and needs. You must take note of the brand and model of the sealing machines according to their features and benefits. Sealers that perform lesser packaging require lesser features and are cheaper compared to those with complex packaging stages. Thus, it is best to keep in mind the necessary stages of food packaging that are covered by the equipment.

Type of storage bags

There are different types of storage bags for different purposes. It is important to know which one best suits the kind of sealing machine you expect to purchase as well as the type of product to be bagged. To ensure that your sealer is capable of sealing your material, you should know its thickness and width before purchase.

Controls available

Basically, there are two main types of food packing machines; the automatic packaging machine and the semi-automatic packing machine. Vacuum and seal are the two types of controls common with basic model sealers. More controls are available with advanced models.

Physical appearance

Another important reminder is to choose sealing machines according to the type of physical appearance of the product. The sealing machine used for powder or grainy foods differs from that used for liquid-based food items. Hence, choose which type of equipment that efficiently preserves the quality of your products.

Sealing machines in Nigeria: Other Considerations

The size of a sealer depends on the width of the material to be sealed.  We usually recommend adding one inch to the width of material to be sealed for easier handling.  Cutters on the sealer usually trim at slightly less than width of the sealer arm.

Types

Basically, there are two main types of sealers; impulse heat and direct heat. Impulse sealers require no warm up time and are best suited for thermoplastic materials such as polythene, nylon, bubble wraps and foil.

Direct heat or constant heat sealers use power as long as the machine is turned on and are better for sealing thick materials. Other types of sealers used for more specific types of applications include vacuum sealers, portable sealers, hand sealers, foot sealers, automatic sealers and continuous band sealers.

Heating elements

Heating elements are made of nickel-chromium and determine the width of the seal. There are two types of heating elements: round or flat which are interchangeable in most sealers. Sealers with two heating elements have faster heat penetration, ideal for sealing thicker materials.

Sizes

Heat sealing machines are available in different sizes according to your requirements. Ranging from 200mm, 300mm, 400mm and 500mm, the sizes are determined by the sealing bar. With each sealing bar size, the size of the unit and the power output increases. The weight of the smallest units starts at 2.3kg up to the largest unit at 5.5kg. The corresponding power output starts at 0.26 kilowatts up to 0.65 kilowatts.
