Introduction  

FKR-A Series double impulse portable sealers are lightweight and easy to use anywhere.  The sealer is 

ideal for sealing polyethylene and laminated foils.  Equipped with top and bottom heating elements, our 
double  impulse  sealers  can  seal  thicker  thermoplastic  materials  up  to  20mil  in  total  thickness.  

Applications include sealing around oddly shaped products including drum, box liners or sealing around 
large, irregularly sized objects.

How Do FKR-A Double Impulse Portable Sealers Work? 

Our FKR-A Series double impulse portable sealers fire a short burst of electricity 

through a specially designed heating wire to weld thermoplastic materials together. 
The length of the seal time will depend on the sealing characteristics of the bag 

being sealed.  The sealing process is simple: The operator places the bag between 

the sealing jaws and presses the jaws together to activate the unit. The operator retrieves the sealed bag 

and repeats the process. Our FKR-A Series double impulse sealers utilize twin heating element wires, one 
on the upper sealing jaw and one on the bottom sealing jaw providing greater heat penetration for sealing 

through thicker materials (up to 20mil total thickness).
