The AIE-405US is a portable ultrasonic sealer for clamshell containers, quick spot seals and tacking. Ultrasonic sealing uses high-frequency vibration instead of a heated bar, so it works immediately without any preheating time.
It seals a broad range of container materials, including OPS (oriented polystyrene), PSP (polystyrene paper), PVC and EPS (expanded polystyrene). AIE names food packaging and processing, retail and sample packaging, and educational and craft applications as typical uses.
Key Features
- Ultrasonic sealing: no heating element and no preheating time, so the sealer is ready the moment it is switched on
- Portable hand unit for spot seals on clamshells and containers, used where the containers are filled
- Seals OPS, PSP, PVC and EPS container materials, four widely used container plastics
- Tamper-evident spot seals: a broken seal shows the customer that the container was opened
- Quick tacking of plastic parts and packaging without glue, tape or staples
- Suited to small batches and changing container sizes, because there is no fixed sealing die to change
Ideal For
- Produce packers closing clamshells of berries, tomatoes and salad so the lid cannot open in transport
- Bakeries and delis sealing clamshells of baked goods and deli items for self-service shelves
- Prepared meal producers who want tamper-evident containers for grab-and-go fridges
- Retail and sample packaging in clear clamshells that customers should not open in the store
- Schools, craft studios and workshops, as named by AIE, where a sealer without hot surfaces is easier to use
