- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred to a few thousand pots per hour, depending on the number of sealing heads and automation level.
- Power supply
- Commonly, units of this type require a standard single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, typically 230V or 400V, with a suitable current rating for the heating elements.
- Construction material
- Units are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability, particularly for components in contact with food or in washdown areas.
- Pot material compatibility
- Most pot sealers are designed to work with various plastic (e.g., PP, PET, PS) or aluminium pots, provided they are suitable for heat sealing.
- Sealable film types
- Typically compatible with a range of heat-sealable films, including laminates, co-extrusions, and lidding films with barrier properties.
- Temperature control
- Units commonly feature adjustable temperature controls to optimise the sealing process for different pot and film materials.
- Control system
- For this class of equipment, control systems often range from basic analogue controls to more advanced PLC-based systems with HMI for precise operation.
