  • A range of accurate and repeatable heat seal laboratory instruments for:
    • Seals: 5-25 mm wide to 50 mm long
    • 5-25 mm wide to 650 mm long
    • 5-25 mm wide to 300 mm long
  • A gradient heat sealer with:
    • 5 independently temperature controlled seals, 5 – 25 mm wide and up to 50 mm long.
  • A medical heat sealer:
    • 5-25 mm wide and 400 mm long
  • Hot tack seal strength tester for flexible packaging materials
  • Seal strength / tensile and compression testers for determining the properties of packaging materials including plastics, paper and board
