Continuous heat sealer for fold-top bags

Streamline your packaging process with a reliable sealer designed for pre-glued fold-top bags, perfect for reducing labor while maintaining efficiency in low-volume production.

The SC-500 from GEA is a semi-automated continuous heat sealer specially designed for sealing and closing pre-glued fold-top and multi-wall bags. This equipment enhances low-volume production lines in industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical packaging. It operates using a continuous motion closing system, allowing you to seal bags efficiently while reducing labor involvement. The SC-500’s compact design integrates seamlessly into existing lines, utilizing a belt conveyor system to move bags through the sealing process, and allows for quick height adjustments to accommodate various bag sizes. It supports diverse applications, including coffee, flour, seed, and spice packaging, ensuring secure containment of solid products. With an operator control panel and easy setup capabilities, the SC-500 optimizes your workflow, providing reliable sealing for low-volume operations. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, it meets industry standards for hygiene and durability.
