Saxon Hot Air Bag Sealer and Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Sealing heavy-gauge plastic or laminate bags in food processing for products like frozen goods, pet food, or bulk ingredients.
• Packaging industrial components, chemicals, or aggregates in robust bags requiring a strong, hermetic seal.
• Securing horticultural products such as compost, soil, or fertilisers in durable, sealed packaging.
• Closing bags for pharmaceutical or nutraceutical products where a secure, tamper-evident seal is critical.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly offer variable speeds, typically ranging from 5 to 15 metres per minute, depending on bag size and material.

Power supply

Most industrial hot air bag sealers require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption typically in the range of 3-6 kW.

Sealing mechanism

This type of equipment uses directed hot air to heat and fuse the bag material, creating a strong, consistent seal.

Bag material suitability

Hot air sealers are generally suitable for a wide range of thermoplastic materials, including PE, PP, and various laminates, particularly effective on thicker gauges.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a combined sealer and conveyor unit typically requires a floor space of around 1.5 to 2.5 metres in length and 0.8 to 1.2 metres in width.

Conveyor type

A stainless steel mesh belt conveyor is commonly found on units designed for environments where hygiene, washdown, or product stability on the belt are important considerations.

Temperature control

Adjustable temperature control is standard, allowing optimisation for different bag materials and thicknesses to achieve an effective seal.
