Vertical Sealing Machine (Photo Credit: alibaba) Continuous sealing machines provide you with fast and stable operations. It comes in a dual positioning system; horizontal band sealers and vertical band sealers. You can interchange between vertical and horizontal modes according to your needs. Sometimes, the original packaging is in horizontal mode, and you might need to assemble the parts for vertical mode. Comparison between Vertical & Horizontal Sealing Machine Horizontal Sealing Machine(Photo Credit: Amazon) In comparison, all the features and characteristics that are similar in both styles will be discussed. Both are durable stainless steel that requires minimal operator training. The pre-heat time is fast in both styles, and they can seal any thermoplastic materials (PP, PE, and laminates). Both possess a solid-state temperature controller to regulate seal bars for a consistent seal. Both have motorized rubber conveyors with speed control and embossing pressure wheels with adjustable pressure. Moreover, a pair of heating and cooling jaws and an emergency stop button are present in both sealing machines. Both use the same sealing method that is constant direct heat. The spare kit in both includes PTFE sealing belt, drive belt, and typesets. The contrast between Vertical & Horizontal Sealing Machines Horizontal band sealers lay bags flat on the conveyor and are therefore known as a continuous flat conveyors. It works best when the user can lay their pouch flat. It has an integrated conveyor that can tilt as much as 30 degrees for easier handling. On the other hand, vertical band sealers allow bags in a standing position on the conveyor. It typically seals small solid products like vegetable seeds, coffee, grains and powder, and liquids. If the customer uses a stand up pouch, then it is the most suitable choice. It is designed for the stand-up, square bottom, or gusseted bags sealed in a vertical position. Some additional parts are required for vertical sealing machines. You need to connect the long shaft to the umbrella gear base. Most importantly, adjust the height of the band sealer suitable for the user’s bag to be sealed in a vertical configuration only.
