General

 

Heatsealing bands/wires are needed for sealing films/plastics and have a basic influence on the seam. Generally we differ in high- and low resistance heatsealing bands. Low resistance material is controlled with electronic temperature controllers in order to achieve short heating up times and a good repeatability of the sealing temperature. For an optimized functionality as well as for a low heat at the ends of the sealing bands the ends are enhanced by silver or copper.
arobatec offers the full range of ready-made heatsealing bands and wires as well as customized bands developed and manufactured for your application.

Below a list of all popular heatsealing types:

 

 

Flatband

 

 

Flatband

  • For flat seams
  • Low-Cost
  • Higher mechanical pressure
    at the edges of the seam
    (Possibly problems with ZIP-Effect)

 

 Tapered band

 

 

Tapered band

  • Standard heatsealing band for flat seams
  • With chamfered/tapered edges
    (Thereby less mechanical pressure
     at the edges of the seam)

 

Reflex band

 

 

Reflex band

  • For flat seams
  • Better seam quality with existing
    film wrinkels/folds in the sealing area
  • Recommended when extremely tight
    seams are required
    (E.g. vacuum packed products)

 

 Beaded band

 

 

Beaded band

  • For Cut-and-Seal
  • Good cutting with a normal wearout of
    the PTFE antistick cover
  • Wider flat seam area/section accessible

 

 T-Profile heatsealing band

 

 

T-Profile

  • For Cut-and-Seal
  • Very good cutting with a higher
    wearout of the PTFE antistick cover

 

Cutting wire/Round wire/Oval wire/Half round wire

 

 

Cutting/round wire
Oval wire
Half round wire

  • For Cut-and-Seal
  • Narrow seam
    (depending on the band/wire version)

 

Contoured heatsealing bands/Endless sealing bands

 

 

Contoured bands
Endless sealing bands
Customized versions

  • Production according customers request
