IMPULSE SEALER PFS 300

We are doing a small packaging business running for a few months. We packed foods and clothes to be supplied to local groceries around the area. Business is brisk, not many days later we had to acquire a simple plastic sealer, or the multipurpose Impulse Sealer. We bought a cheap type, China-made impulse sealer at around RM70.00, namely PFS300 Impulse Sealer. The Sealer is suitable for various plastic-film packaging which usually apply to fresh food and vegetables, candy, medicines and even small containable parts. It is the least expensive solution and beneficial sealer to business, industry and homes. It is very practical and light weight.

There are two version of the sealer available, which are the PFS-200 and PFS-300. The Difference is on the sealing width. PFS-200 sealing area is 200mm while PFS-300 is 300mm. The PFS-200 is sold around RM60.00, and therefore makes the PFS-300 worthier. The outer casing is mostly metal. Not so bad of a build quality. It has the impression that this simple machine is heavy duty, can withstand regular usage and would last for years. This is true and proven. We had paused for packaging operation for quite some time, and the sealer was left abandon at the store. Couple of weeks ago, we took out the machine, it still work like charm.

Operation is simple, plug the AC cord, select the regulator switch according to material thickness and you’re good to go. The light led in front of the sealer is controlled by the electronic circuit. The built in circuit will automatically cut off the heat when the indicator led is turned off. Placed the plastic bag or film flat along the heating element, press the handle knob and the led light will on for 1 or seconds then release the handle knob. By using the right heat temperature accordingly to the materials used, the seal will be firm, airtight and watertight. To attain this kind of seal quality I need to do quite a lot of testing and experimenting before getting the desired result.

For safety reasons, it is not advisable to work on a wet surface, like wet plastic-film and so on. It is also to protect the heating element from rust and residuals that will shorten it lifespan.
