Steel Heat Sealing Bands

The Prolific offers Steel Heat Sealing Bands manufactured by Belt Technologies, Europe. These are available as per customer specifications as well as in a standard range of commonly used widths and thicknesses. Quicker, cleaner and stronger, these belts can be made with thicknesses from 0.05 mm to 0.8 mm in virtually any length or width combination. Belts can be coated or uncoated depending on the heat-sealing method used. The choice of stainless steel grade is of particular importance when considering the actual temperature of application and type of heating applied to the belt. There are belts available, which can operate up to temperatures of 425°C. PTFE coated bands are used in food preparation, pharmaceutical, medical, chemical or any packaging application that needs increased release properties. The endless stainless steel bands are manufactured and welded to give superior long life for heat sealing application. Compared with fibreglass and other forms of heat-sealing bands, the stainless steel option provides a much faster throughput of sealed product. The good thermal transfer properties of some stainless steels also allow for a greater speed and consequently higher rate of product sealing. Stainless steel belts do not fray or particulate, which minimise risk of any possible product contamination and provides a smoother sealing finish to the end product.
