Precision Heating Solutions for Modern Packaging Equipment
Heat sealing is one of the most critical processes in automated packaging production. Every sealing cycle depends on accurate temperature control, fast thermal response, and consistent heat distribution. Even slight temperature deviations can cause weak seals, burnt films, leakage, or product rejection.
ELEKHEAT specializes in custom tubular heating elements designed specifically for packaging machinery. Our heaters are engineered to withstand continuous reciprocating motion, limited installation space, and demanding production cycles while maintaining stable sealing performance throughout long-term operation.

Packaging Equipment We Serve
ELEKHEAT tubular heating elements are widely used in automated packaging machinery across food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cosmetics, electronics, and industrial production.
Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS)
High-cycle vertical sealing systems requiring rapid thermal response, excellent lead durability, and consistent sealing temperatures.
Horizontal Flow Wrapper
Continuous packaging equipment demanding stable heating performance throughout long production runs.
Tray Sealing Machine
Uniform heating technology designed for food trays, MAP packaging, and high-quality sealing applications.
Medical Packaging Equipment
Precision temperature control for sterile packaging, blister packaging, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Compatible Sealing Materials
Different packaging films require different sealing temperatures. Selecting the proper heating element ensures consistent seal quality while protecting sensitive materials.
| Film Material | Typical Sealing Temperature | Common Application |
|---|---|---|
| PE | 120–180°C | Food Packaging |
| PP | 170–200°C | Industrial Packaging |
| PET | 160–200°C | Laminated Film |
| BOPP | 165–205°C | Printed Packaging |
| CPP | 170–200°C | Flexible Packaging |
| PA / Nylon | 180–220°C | Vacuum Packaging |
| Aluminum Foil Composite | 180–220°C | High Barrier Packaging |
Common Heater Problems in Packaging Machines
Continuous reciprocating motion and demanding production cycles create challenges that ordinary heating elements often cannot withstand.
Lead Wire Breakage
01
Repeated movement of sealing jaws places constant bending stress on heater lead wires. Conventional heaters frequently fail at the cable exit after extended operation.
Lead Abrasion
02
Dense cable routing inside packaging equipment causes friction between wires and machine components, gradually damaging insulation and increasing electrical risks.
Limited Installation Space
03
Modern packaging machines integrate multiple sealing stations within compact frames, leaving minimal space for heater installation and cable management.
Uneven Temperature Distribution
04
Dense cable routing inside packaging equipment causes friction between wires and machine components, gradually damaging insulation and increasing electrical risks.
How ELEKHEAT Solves These Problems
Internal Lead Connection Design
Unlike conventional tubular heaters, ELEKHEAT relocates the electrical connection inside the heater sheath. This minimizes mechanical stress at the cable exit and significantly improves durability under high-frequency reciprocating movement.
- Internal welded connection
- Reduced bending stress
- Longer operating life
- Ideal for VFFS and flow wrappers
Heavy-Duty Lead Protection
Depending on operating conditions, lead wires can be protected using fiberglass sleeves, stainless steel braided hoses, or flexible metal conduits to prevent abrasion and extend service life.
- Stainless steel braided sleeve
- Flexible conduit protection
- Custom cable length
- Excellent abrasion resistance
Right-Angle Exit Design
For compact packaging machines, right-angle lead exits simplify wiring, reduce cable congestion, and improve installation efficiency.
- Cleaner cable routing
- Reduced bending radius
- Compact installation
- Custom exit direction
Uniform Temperature Technology
Using optimized resistance wire distribution, our uniform-temperature heaters compensate for heat loss near both ends of long sealing bars, reducing temperature deviation to within ±5°C.
- Improved sealing consistency
- Reduced product rejection
- Better thermal balance
- Ideal for long sealing bars
