Applications & Use Cases

• Packaging individual or multiple products for retail display.
• Creating protective seals for food items, electronics, and small components.
• Bundling products together for shipping or multi-packs.
• Sealing items in preparation for further processing or sterilisation.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For a semi-automatic L-sealer with a heat tunnel, throughput typically ranges from 10 to 20 packs per minute, depending on product size and operator efficiency.

Sealing area

The '60 40' in the model name commonly indicates a sealing area of approximately 600mm x 400mm, suitable for a wide range of product sizes.

Film type compatibility

Units of this type are typically compatible with various heat-sealable films, including PVC, POF (polyolefin), and PE (polyethylene), in thicknesses commonly found for shrink wrapping applications.

Power supply

This class of equipment commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, for the heat tunnel, with the L-sealer often operating on single-phase or lower 3-phase power.

Footprint

A combined semi-automatic L-sealer and heat tunnel typically requires a footprint of 2.5 to 4 metres in length and 1 to 1.5 metres in width, plus space for operator access and material handling.

Maximum product height

For a unit like the BLA 60 40, the maximum product height commonly accommodated is around 150mm to 200mm, depending on the tunnel aperture.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between an L-sealer and a side sealer?

  An L-sealer creates two seals simultaneously, forming an 'L' shape around the product. A side sealer creates a continuous seal along one side of the product, often used for very long items or high-speed applications.
