ENDLESS HEAT SEALING STAINLESS STEEL BANDS
PLAIN OR PTFE TEFLON COATED
ANY WIDTH, LENGTH OR THICKNESS
MANUFACTURED FROM STAINLESS STEEL
Coated metal belts allow engineers to alter the intrinsic surface properties of a metal belt to optimize its performance for a specific function. The engineers at Mech Engineers are able to work with a virtually unlimited range of surface treatment types, including Teflon, neoprene, and hard coat anodization. Surface treatments can be applied to one or both sides of a metal belt via coating, plating, laminating, or bonding methods.
Coated metal belts are found in a wide variety of industries. For example, Teflon coating is an excellent way to ensure that products will not stick to the metal belt in food processing or high-temperature manufacturing environments such as the packaging industry.
Heat sealing belts, or heat sealing bands, are used in the direct application of heat to seal products and packaging. This method of package sealing can be used on single thermoplastic layers or on materials with several layers if at least one is thermoplastic. The heat sealing belt is used to apply heat and pressure along a specific path to essentially weld the thermoplastic layers together.
Benefits
Endless metal belts can be tailored to suit a variety of applications with specialty coatings and surface treatments.
- They are able to seal any thermoplastic material and can be found in a wide variety of packaging industries.
- The continuous bands that apply the heat to the product packaging are durable and accurate enough to reliably handle the rate of production.
- Stainless steel heat sealing bands by Mech Engineers are highly durable. They are non-stretchable and highly resistant to impact and corrosion damage.
- Stainless steel belts do not require lubrication, do not generate particulates, and do not build up static electricity; they provide a clean, safe, and sanitary surface for clean room and electrical applications.
- The high thermal conductivity of stainless steel allows it to resist continuous exposure to high temperatures without warping.
Heat Sealing Applications
Continuous heat sealing bands are used throughout the packaging industry for a variety of applications, such as:
- Flexible Packaging (bags, pouches, etc.)
- Food Processing
- Pharmaceutical Processing
- Sterile Packaging for Single-Use Medical Devices
- Vacuum Sealing
