Impulse Sealer
If you are looking for a machine to seal Ziploc bags or polythene bags then the impulse sealer is probably one of the most widely used.
The way these machines work is that they use an impulse of electricity which heats up a metal wire in the machine, you then place your bag in the machine and hold down for 1 or 2 seconds this then seals the two sides of the bag together.
These types of sealer are extremely easy to use and have become very popular over the years, but they are not to be confused with a vacuum bag sealer as so many people have done.
You can get the impulse sealer in different sizes to accommodate different size bags, although we would recommend you get bags that are actually two inches shorter than your actual impulse sealer.
This is so you can guarantee a perfect seal all round the bag, the thickness of the bags you use makes a difference to the sealing efficiency also.
You will discover the size of bags you can use for each machine when you read the manufactures information, this information is vital for you to get optimum use out of your impulse sealer.
Some people like to use what they call poly tubing for sealing their items, for this you will need to look at impulse sealers that incorporate a cutting tool.
This style of sealing can be more cost effective and easier to use for different sized items, since the polythene tubing is on a roll and continual you can make the bags as big as you like.
This saves having to buy different sized bags all the time, this is one of the more popular ways people are using their impulse sealer these days.
Below we have listed in our astore some different types of impulse sealer for you to look at, make sure you read the manufactures information and understand the type of sealing you can do with each machine.
