Bag Sealers
Q: What does impulse sealing mean?

seal takes place. Therefore the sealing area is not heated
when the machine is not being used.

A: Impulse sealers are designed primarily for use on plastic
(polyethylene) bags or polypropylene.
Q: What's the best tip for a good seal?

ensure that sufficient cooling time is allowed by keeping
the jaws together for 1 - 2 seconds after the sealing is completed.
Q: What warranty is offered with your sealers?
A: Packmatic offer a six-month parts and labour warranty on
all our sealing equipment. |
