• 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 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.

• 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.

• What type of film is best for this machine?

• Does this unit require compressed air?

• What maintenance is typically involved for a unit like this?

• Can this machine handle different product sizes?

Used sealing machines are generally valued for their durability and long operational life. Buyers typically prioritize machines with clear maintenance histories and minimal wear on sealing components. Key considerations include film compatibility, seal quality consistency, and ease of adjustment. Reputable models tend to retain functionality well across multiple applications. Industry sentiment suggests these machines offer strong value when sourced from reliable vendors, though operators should verify calibration settings and test seal integrity before full production use.
