PHS1 Series Manual Impulse Clamsell Sealing Machines
Starview's PHS1 Series impulse jaw type sealing machines are used to make a continuous bar seal
across an open end or side of a plastic-to-plastic clamshell package. The standard machines feature one impulse heated sealing jaw with provision for optional air or water cooling of the jaws to improve the
cycle time. Both the upper and lower jaws are heated and cooled. Plastic-to-plastic welds may be made with common clamshell materials such as PVC, PETG, RPETG and GAG PET. Custom machines with longer sealing areas are available on request.
Starview's PHS1 Series clamshell sealing machines are simple to operate. The operator places the
edge of the clamshell to be sealed between the sealing jaws and depresses the foot pedal monentarily to initiate the cycle. The heating and cooling cycles are automatic and the jaws release at the end of the cycle. Since the machine operation is hands free an operator with good dexterity could seal two identical packages at the same time depending on the package width. Most hinged clamshells can be sealed on three sides by inserting the open sides one at a time.
