Automatic L-Bar Sealers

Automatic L-Bar Sealers

Automatic L-bar sealers perform the complete seal cycle without operator intervention after product placement, handling seal areas from 24" x 20" up to 45" x 30". These machines feature self-adjusting seal pads, automatic temperature compensation, heavy-duty dual magnets, and variable speed conveyors for higher-throughput shrink packaging operations.

Automatic L-bar sealers handle the complete sealing cycle automatically once the product is placed on the film. The machine detects the product, advances the film, lowers the seal bar, creates the L-shaped seal, trims excess film, and conveys the sealed product to a shrink tunnel. This automation eliminates the manual seal bar operation required with semi-automatic units.

Larger Seal Areas

Automatic L-bar sealers are available with seal areas ranging from 24" x 20" up to 45" x 30", accommodating significantly larger products and multi-item groupings than semi-automatic models. The larger seal areas handle boxed goods, industrial parts, and bundled products that exceed the capacity of compact semi-automatic sealers.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Fully welded heavy-duty seal heads with dual magnets provide positive, consistent seal bar engagement across the full seal area. Self-adjusting seal pads conform to varying product heights without manual adjustment, maintaining seal quality across different products in the same run. Film tension brakes ensure consistent film feed and prevent film wandering during high-speed operation.

Temperature and Speed Control

Automatic seal temperature compensation maintains consistent wire temperature regardless of cycle speed, preventing seal quality variation between slow and fast production periods. Variable speed conveyors transport sealed products to the downstream shrink tunnel at speeds matched to tunnel capacity and product requirements.

PVC Shrink Film

PVC shrink film for individual product wrapping, retail packaging, and tamper-evident overwrapping. Manufactured from polyvinyl chloride resin with biaxial orientation for balanced shrink properties. Available in gauges from 60 to 150 (0.6 to 1.5 mil) with centerfold widths from 4 to 36 inches. PVC film shrinks at lower temperatures than polyolefin (215 to 235F), making it compatible with a wide range of L-bar sealers and heat tunnels. Provides high clarity, a glossy finish, and consistent sealing performance for uniform product presentation.
