Band Sealers from Apolo


APOLO’s Band Sealers are typically used for increasing production speeds in semi automatic bag sealing applications, or in applications where automation is not possible. They securely seal a large range of bag materials by creating a wide seal of superior strength and appeal. Sealer operation is extremely simple as the operator needs only to feed bags into the machine. The filled bags rest on a motorized conveyor belt while the top of the bag is carefully guided through the seal process by Teflon Bands.

Continuous Band Sealers

Band Sealers are used for increasing production speeds in semi automatic bag sealing applications, where automation is not possible. They securely seal a large range of bag materials by creating a wide seal of superior strength and appeal.

Sealer operation is extremely simple as the operator needs only to feed bags into the machine. The filled bags rest on a motorized conveyor belt while the top of the bag is carefully guided through the seal process by Teflon Bands. Band Sealers are designed to seal any thermoplastic material, including Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and laminations containing foils, such as those used to package coffee, or those that reduce electrostatic charge used to package electronic components.


Available with hot roll or hot stamping printing coders, and a choice of powder coated metal alloy or stainless steel.

Should I use a vertical or a horizontal model?

Say you had a bag that contained your product, and you laid it on its side, would product flow towards the mouth of the bag? If the answer is yes, then you need a vertical band sealer. Products typically sealed with vertical machines are grains, powders, nuts and bolts, candy, bonbons, and liquids, among others. If on the other hand, your product just lay there undisturbed, then you could probably use a horizontal band sealer. Horizontal machines are typically used to seal tortillas or pastries, large computer chips, paper products, and trays, among others.
