What it does

Bag sealing is where most small food and powder lines lose product (poor seals leak; over-heated seals burn the print). A proper sealer holds temperature, pressure, and dwell time within tight limits, with a sensor on every seal. If the seal is bad, the bag is rejected before it leaves the machine.

How it works

Step by step

  1. 01

    Pre-formed pouches are fed manually or by index conveyor into the carrier track.

  2. 02

    Filling station (count / weight / volumetric) drops product into each pouch.

  3. 03

    A pair of heated bars close on the bag mouth — controlled temperature, pressure, and dwell.

  4. 04

    A cooling bar follows immediately to set the seal cleanly.

  5. 05

    A thermal-imaging sensor (or contact thermocouple) verifies the seal temperature curve.

  6. 06

    Bad seals trigger a reject; the good bag goes to the next station (date print, box).

Components

What's in the cell

  • Pouch carrier / track with grippers
  • Heated seal bars with PID temperature control (typically 120 – 220 °C)
  • Cooling bar (water or compressed-air cooled)
  • Pressure regulator with feedback
  • Seal verification sensor
  • Reject station for bad seals
Applications

Where it fits

  • Tea, coffee, and spice pouches
  • Powder sachets (milk, drink mix, supplements)
  • Vacuum food bags
  • Pharma sachets
  • Detergent / cleaning powder pouches
  • Pet food single-serve packs
Indicative specs

Sized to your line

These ranges cover most installations — exact spec depends on your product, throughput target, and integration constraints. We confirm everything before quoting.

Throughput20 – 100 pouches/min
Seal width6 – 12 mm
Temperature range100 – 250 °C
Film typesPE, PP, PET-laminates, aluminium foil-lined
PowerSingle-phase, 2 – 4 kW
Integration

Comes as standalone or integrated with a filler upstream. We tune the temperature / pressure / dwell triangle against your film and validate seal strength with pull tests on commissioning.
