  What is Impulse Sealer Heating Element?   A Heating Element is a key component in impulse sealers, which are devices used to seal plastic bags and other thermoplastic materials. Here are the main points about this element:   Function: The heating element generates heat when an electrical current passes through it, which melts the thermoplastic material to create a seal.   Material: The heating elements are typically made from a nichrome wire (an alloy of nickel and chromium) because of its high resistance to electricity and ability to withstand high temperatures without breaking down.   Operation: In impulse sealers, the heat is only generated when the sealer is in operation (i.e., when the handle is pressed down), which means the wire is only heated for short periods. This helps prevent the wire from overheating and extends its lifespan.   Replacement: Over time, the heating element can wear out due to repeated heating and cooling cycles. It may need to be replaced to maintain the sealer's effectiveness.   Installation: Replacing the heating element typically involves removing the old one, cleaning the sealing bar, and then carefully installing the new one to ensure it is taut and properly positioned.   This component is crucial for the proper functioning of impulse sealers, widely used in packaging industries to ensure seals.

Q&A How to make the sealing line of the impulse sealer even and beautiful?   Q: Users often want to know why the sealing line is crooked and thin, rather than the flat and complete 2mm or 5mm wide sealing line tested by the manufacturer. A: The key point is cooling time. For impulse sealers, whether hand type or foot-operated type, both the sealing and cooling time are manually controlled. In order to shorten the package time, many users will ignore the cooling time directly. As soon as the heating time is up and the heating light goes off, they release the handle or foot pedal. This will result in uneven sealing lines.   Q: How long does the cooling time need to be? A: It is recommended to refer to the sealing time. If the heating time is longer, the cooling time should be increased accordingly, but not necessarily in a proportional manner. It still needs to be tested. Based on the experience, if using regular bags and the sealing time is not set for a long time, it is recommended that customers press for an additional 1 second after the heating light goes off (the editor usually counts to 3 in their mind) before releasing the handle or foot pedal.   Q: If I don't care about the appearance of the sealing line, can I ignore the cooling time? A: It is still recommended to have some cooling time. A complete sealing line is not only visually appealing to customers, but the most important, it ensures the bag is securely sealed. The impulse sealer uses heat to stick the bag mouth and seal it tightly, and then cools the sealing line by pressing the bag. This is how the sealing line can be both firm and smooth. Without cooling time to cool the sealing line, the sealing line of the bag mouth may be thin and easily melt and break, which could lead to bag rupture and increase the workload instead.

In recent years, vacuum packaging has become very popular. Vacuum packaging keeps damp proof, extended shelf life, and reduced storage space. There are various types of vacuum sealing machines available on the market. How to find a suitable vacuum sealer for your product? The following are specially divided into three categories for the vacuum sealers sold on the market (Chamber Vacuum Sealer, Non-nozzle Vacuum Sealer, and Nozzle Vacuum Sealer) to introduce advantages and disadvantages. There are other places to pay attention to when buying, hope to help everyone buy a suitable vacuum sealer, and enhance the quality of product.   ※Chamber Vacuum Sealer This is the most familiar and most commonly seen vacuum sealer. As the name suggests, it looks like a box. Therefore, large size and heavy weight are the biggest drawbacks of this vacuum sealer, but the vacuum degree is the best compared to the other two types of vacuum sealers. We also call this vacuum sealer an internal vacuum sealer. Because the items which you want to vacuum have to be put into the vacuum chamber in the vacuum sealer, and can be vacuum packaged. Since the vacuum item needs to be put into the vacuum chamber, the product will be limited by the size of the vacuum chamber. If the product is larger, the vacuum chamber must be larger. As the size of the vacuum sealer increases, its price also tends to increase. Therefore, when purchasing, it needs to consider whether the internal size of the vacuum chamber is suitable for your needs. The chamber vacuum sealer is further divided into oil-less and oil-type vacuum sealer due to the different types of vacuum pumps installed inside the machine. The vacuum capability of oil-less type vacuum sealers is slightly lower than that of oil-type vacuum sealers. Oil-less type vacuum sealer is suitable for dry products, such as tea, dried fruit, rice, and electronic parts. The price of this vacuum sealer is lower than that of the oil-type vacuum sealer, but the vacuum capability is sufficient for dry vacuum packaging. Oil-type vacuum sealer is suitable for both dry and moist products. If there is liquid in the product, it's recommended to choose an oil-type vacuum sealer. Suitable for packing products: meat, seafood, liquid, and powder. The Oil-type vacuum pumps installed in the Oil-type vacuum sealers on the market have different vacuum capabilities. If you need vacuum packaging for seafood or meat products, it's recommended to choose an Oil-type vacuum sealer with better vacuum capability. If the product itself is soft, even after being vacuumed, it will still be soft to the touch, and will not be as hard as dry products after being vacuumed. The price of Oil-type vacuum sealers is higher than that of oil-less-type vacuum sealers, and the higher the required vacuum capability, the higher the price. Also, it should be noted, Oil-type vacuum pump needs to add vacuum oil, so when using an Oil-type vacuum sealer, it's a must to regularly check the amount of vacuum oil and the clarity of the vacuum oil. If the oil level is below the standard, vacuum oil needs to be added; if the vacuum oil is cloudy, the old oil must be drained before adding new vacuum oil. The more often the vacuum sealer is used; the frequency of adding and draining oil is also higher. When the vacuum degree drops, you can first check whether it is due to the vacuum oil. Some oil-type vacuum sealers will also be equipped with oil mist catchers, to capture the oil mist generated during the operation of the oil-type vacuum pump. Smoke generation was found during the operation of the vacuum sealer, oil mist is likely generated when the oil vacuum pump is running, which is a normal phenomenon. The installation of an oil mist catcher is to reduce the situation of oil mist drifting. The oil mist catcher is a consumable, and the frequency of use will affect its life.   When purchasing a vacuum sealer, factors to consider include price, the suitable types of vacuum bags, vacuum efficiency, the size and type of products to be sealed, and the operating method. No matter what kind of product you want to vacuum, it's recommended to bring the product to the site for testing before purchasing, test the vacuum effect and understand how to operate it, this will allow you to choose the most suitable vacuum sealer for your needs.
