RM Sealers RMBHC Horizontal bag sealer

• Sealing pre-made pouches or bags containing dry goods such as snacks, coffee, or pet food.
• Packaging granular or powdered products like sugar, flour, or spices in a continuous flow.
• Sealing medical or pharmaceutical products in sterile pouches, ensuring product integrity.
• Used in bakeries for packaging bread, pastries, or other baked goods in film bags.
• Suitable for sealing non-food items such as small parts, components, or textiles.

Typical throughput

For this class of continuous band sealer, speeds commonly range from 5 to 12 metres per minute, depending on bag material and product.

Power supply

Units of this type are typically single-phase, often 230V, requiring a standard industrial power outlet.

Seal width

Commonly found seal widths for horizontal band sealers are between 5mm and 15mm, providing a robust closure.

Temperature control

Variable temperature control is standard, typically ranging up to 300°C, allowing for sealing various film types.

Conveyor dimensions

Conveyors on these units commonly feature lengths from 1000mm to 2000mm and widths from 150mm to 300mm.

Construction material

Stainless steel construction is typical for food-grade or hygienic applications, offering durability and ease of cleaning.

• What types of bags can this machine seal?

  This type of horizontal band sealer is suitable for sealing a wide range of thermoplastic films, including PE, PP, laminates, and foil bags, provided they are heat-sealable.

• Is this unit suitable for heavy bags?

• How easy is it to integrate into an existing line?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• Can this machine create an airtight seal?

Used sealing machines are valued for their durability and cost-effectiveness in food packaging operations. Buyers appreciate models that maintain consistent seal quality and require minimal maintenance. When purchasing secondhand units, inspectors typically recommend verifying seal temperature controls, checking heating elements for wear, and confirming spare parts availability. Industry sentiment favours machines with straightforward mechanical design, as these tend to be more reliable long-term and easier to service. Reputation depends largely on manufacturer and maintenance history rather than age alone.
