E – type

The E – type impulse heat sealing machines with electrical foot pedal is the newest machine type of the hacona product range. We put all our efforts and experience into the development of this machine type.

With our engineering team we focused on developing a product beyond your expectations. The NEW E – type is super strong, very fast and absolute reliable. This new machine type underlines the philosophy of the hacona product development. Modular thinking and simplification!

Sealing length

Super strong sealing bar suspension and extremely loadable sealing bars

With this absolute NEW design of sealing bar suspension it is assured, that the sealing bars close always 100 % parallel. Each mechanical part of the machine is designed so precisely, that no further adjustments are needed after mounting the machine together. The closing pressure of the sealing bars is evenly distributed through the complete sealing length. Thanks to this detailed planned NEW mechanical solution, the sealing result of the machine is always perfect.

In order to meet the highest expectations, each part is made out of the highest quality magnesium aluminium alloy materials. Parts of the machine and the complete machine on itself are designed to perform under industrial conditions.

The sealing bar and the suspensions are made out of stainless materials.

The closing and the opening of the sealing bars are supported by an electric motor. The START signal can be given by foot pedal or by hand. Simply touching the sealing bars and applying a small force for closing the bars, the electric signal will be given and the motor is closing the sealing bars. When sealing cycle (sealing and cooling) is finished the sealing bars will open up automaticly.

Machine frame

E – type impulse sealing machines with powder painted surface
Orange is the color behind the brand. From the very beginning hacona produces all its product with the factory typical orange color. Perfect look that reflects the quality - is one of the key aspects that our engineers have in mind when they develop a product. We do not accept even the slightest compromise in the high quality and in the top appearance.

The complete machine is designed to assure the highest safety. The machine body and the connecting parts are mounted so precisely, that there is not even a single gap between them. No free running cables and no openings on the machine frame. It all serves the safety!

EI – type impulse sealing machines with silver anodized surface
All EI – type impulse sealing machines can be used in food- , pharmaceutical – and chemical industry. By anodizing (surface treatment) the machine frame the surface of the aluminium profile gets absolute smooth and strengthened. With this surface treatment the EI – type film sealing machine frame is now even more resistant against scretches and mechanical impact.

Machine frame

Ultra strong magnesium aluminum body

The machine body and the sealing bar of each E – type impulse heat sealing machine with electrical foot pedal is made out of ultra strong magnesium aluminum profile. This technology assures super strong base and absolute flat surface for the special designed impulse sealing wire. In parallel we guarantee with the special designed aluminium ribs inside the frame also a proper and fast cooling of the sealing wires after the sealing cycle is finished.

Powder painted - orange color: For general purpose. It can be used in all kinds of industries.

Silver anodized: For food industry, pharmaceutical industry and some part of chemical industry. ATTENTION: The surface is not acid-proof!

Impulse film sealing technology

The E – type impulse heat sealing machines with electrical foot pedal offers a wide range of sealing wire versions. The right sealing wire version has to be choosen product and packaging material specific.

All the E – type impulse heat sealing machines with electrical foot pedal work with impulse sealing technology. This technology is:

• Power saving
• Offeres VERY high level of operation security

E – type
5 mm (0,197 inch) wide industrial sealing wire with impulse sealing technology.

The E – type machine can be ordered in two surface treatments:
E – type powder painted in orange color
EI – type silver anodized

ED – type
2 x 5 mm (2 x 0,197 inch) wide industrial sealing wire with impulse sealing technology. The second (upper) sealing wire can be switched off. The double sealing is used wherever very contaminated bags (with powder, oil, dust…) have to be sealed with high security! The double sealing offers extra safety.

The ED – type machine can be ordered in two surface treatments:
ED – type powder painted in orange color
EDI – type silver anodized

EB – type
5 mm (0,197 inch) wide industrial Bi – Acitve (sealing from two sides) sealing wire with impulse sealing technology. The Bi – Active sealing technology assures a super strong sealing for closing multi layer or laminated bags. With the Bi – Active sealing machine, bags with a total thickness (absolute material thickness) of 800 micron can be sealed!
The packaging film is heated from two sides. This assures, that the heat flows through the material evenly from both sides. By using this process an overheating of the packaging material can be avoided!

The EB – type machine can be ordered in two surface treatments:
EB – type powder painted in orange color
EBI – type silver anodized

Impulse film sealing technology

All E – type impulse heat sealing machines with electrical foot pedal work with a 5 mm (0,197 inch) wide impulse sealing wire. The sealing length depends always from the machine size. All thermoplastic (heat sealable) films up to 500 micron total material thickness can be sealed easily and air tight with the E-type or ED-type. For material thicknesses up to 800 micron the EB – type should be choosen.

All these versions of the E – type (E-type; ED-type; EB-type) have an integrated specially designed safety cutting knife. This cutting knife enables to produce bags from tubular film or to cut the rest of the film off the bag after sealing. If the ED – type machine is used with double sealing, than the cutting knife should not be used!

High performance sealing wire tentioning system

A technology without compromise: The specially designed E-type sealing wire tentioning systems assure at any temperature level an optimised sealing wire tention. At high temperature values the sealing wire expends itself. Our sealing wire tentioning system is designed to apply optimum tention at any temperature level and assure a free movement of the sealing wire in longitudinal direction. The specially designed upper PTFE tape is designed to underline this function and to assure free movement of the sealing wire at any time.

Thanks to the special fixing system of the upper PTFE it can not loosen up or wrinkle itself. The total surface of the sealing wire is PTFE covered. This avoids sticking of the bag material to the sealing wire.

The build up of the sealing electrode is designed to achieve perfect sealing results! Below the sealing wire there is a silicon stripe with a PTFE tape coating. This gives flexibility to the sealing wire to compensate uneven pressure points.

DIGITAL sealing wire temperature & time control

The sealing wire of the E – type is digitally time controlled. By adjusting the sealing time the temperature will automatically increase in parallel. The sealing temperature seperately can not be set! With a special key combination the machine setting can be fixed. The operator will not be able (if the key combination is unknown) to adjust the previously set value. This offeres the highes safety!

On ED – type machine (E-type with double sealing) the second sealing wire (upper sealing wire) can turned ON / OFF with the double sealing button. If the double sealing sign lights up white, than the double sealing is activated!

DIGITAL sealing wire temperature & time control

The sealing and cooling time can be adjusted, by pushing the up and down arrow (see 1 & 3 on the picture) between a value of 1 – 12. To each value belongs a certain sealing & cooling time and a sealing temperature.

By switching on the main switch of the machine, the double 7 segment display lights up and shows the present status (set value) of the machine. The machine is in stand-by mode, ready to work.

The average consumption in stand-by mode is less than 1 W / hour (electrical power).

In order to work with the machine and to make a sealing two START functions are possible:

1.) START with the electrical foot pedal.
2.) START by applying small pushing pressure to the back side of the sealing bars.

At each sealing value an automaticly (previous factory setting) set cooling time is calculated. For the perfect sealing result the sealing bars remain closed under pressure for additional 1 – 2 seconds after the sealing is finished. This assures the best sealing result, because the sealed packaging material can cool down under pressure!

SAFETY

At hacona SAFETY is not on option!

We offer the highest SAFETY standards for our film sealing machines.

• SAFETY automatic sealing bar closing

All E – type impulse film sealing machines have an integrated electrical gear motor for sealing bar closing and opening. This automatic sealing bar closing assures the extreme ergonomic function of the machine and enables the sealing bar to close on maximum pressure. By using this process fast working cycles can be achieved and a perfect sealing is assured!

The gear motors special drive - the link between the motor and the sealing bar mechanism - is designed to operate also as a safety system. It can NOT happen, that an operator closes the sealing bars and that any finger is pinched.

By working with the impluse film sealing technology the sealing wire heats up only when the sealing bars are totally closed and the sealing bar closing electro magnet is turned on. After the electro magnets are activated, it is impossible for the operator to open the sealing bar. In emergency case the machine can be switched off easily with the main switch. Before the sealing cycle is finished the heating of the sealing wires will be shut off automatically and the sealing wire will cool back to normal room temperature. NO risk of getting burn injuries.

SAFETY

At hacona SAFETY is not on option!

We offer the highest SAFETY standards for film sealing machines.

•SAFETY cutting knife system

All E – type impulse film sealing machines have an integrated safety cutting knife to cut off the rest of the bag above the sealing. The cutting knife can be used also to produce bags from tubular film.

The sharp cutting knife is safely positioned inside the aluminum sealing bar. This assures, that the operator can not cut or hurt himself with the knife before it is activated.

In order to activate the cutting knife the operator has to push down the knife and move it along the complete sealing bar length. After releasing the knife it will slide back into its safe position.

Sealing bar suspension

The extra robust magnesium aluminium sealing bar suspensions are produced with precise molding technology to meat the highest expectations.
The sealing bar profiles and the sealing bar suspension has a special designed geometric form. It is designed to meet high load capacities. By choosing top materials like magnesium aluminium the loadability of the sealing bars is maximized.

The design of these parts is not just simulated on cumputer programs, but also underlined with several field of tests. Each final design is tested under real working conditions for a min. of 1.000.000 cycle.

The special design of the suspension allows that all electrical cables going to the control unit, or to the upper sealing bar (EB-type machine), can be hidden routed.

We are dedicated to perfection if we talk about high quality sealing.

IP protection

The complete machine frame is totally closed. There is not even a slight opening or gap on the machine body. There are no free running electrical cables. Each electrical connection is properly hidden.

The sealing wire is covered with PTFE tape on the total length.

The standard E – type machines (E-type, ED-type, EB-type) have IP 33 level.

As special option a higher IP classification can be ordered! With the special „high IP classification” the IP protection of the machine can be increased to IP 34 level, if protection is needed against liquids or to IP43 to increase the protection against solid particles (dust protection).

IP protection

No free running electrical cables! Each electrical connection is properly hidden. The control unit of the machine is located on the same side where the main switch is. Not even a single electrical cable is running free!

The sealing wire is covered on the complete length with PTFE tape. The electrical connections are also routed and covered hidden.

Modular system

We are offering endless possibilities with ergonomic design.

Each E-type heat sealer (as table top version) can be equipped with the following accessories:

• Working table
• Film holding rolls with guiding plates

The E-type sealer can be used independently also as a table top heat sealer. By adding the working table or film holding rolls to the machine, the ergonomic working is underlined. Each accessory can be added pcs. by pcs. to the machine. The combination possibilities depend on the user. The working table and the bag support holds the bag in front of the machine and assures totally flat surface to lay the product on.

The film holding rolls with the guiding plates can support different size of film rolls. Thanks to the split roll technology it is possible to unwind one roll without unwinding the other one. The guiding plates support the narrow film roll from falling to the side. If several sizes of film rolls are used in packaging process a second set of film holding rolls with guiding plates can be added to the machine. The film holding rolls can be added only to the table top version!

Working table

The E-type machine can be equipped with a standard working table. By attaching the working table to the machine, the ergonomic working is emphasized. The angle of the working table can be adjusted in 6 angles, starting from horizontal position to almost vertical.

The working table and the bag support holds the bag in front of the machine and assures totally flat surface to lay the product on. Maximum load weight is 10 kg (22 pounds) (static weigth)!

Each accessory of the E-type, including the working table can be added to the machine later on. The combination possibilities of the accessories depend on the user.

Working table

The working table includes also a bag support plate. This bag support (metal plate) can be adjusted in postition according to the the bag length. The min. distance from the sealing wire is app. 100 mm (4 inch) (in horizontal postion) and app. 250 mm (10 inch) (in almost vertical postition). The bag support can be adjusted very easily.

If the bag support is not needed, it can be removed easily.

Working table

The working table and bag support as accessory can be ordered in orange color powder painted version but also in stainless steel.
For general purpose the orange color working table is used.

If food products (meat, fish, chees, biscuit), medicine or any other higenic product is packed in primery packaging, the stainless steel (inox) working table is suggested.

Both working table versions can be added to the machine. It is also possible to combine an orange color painted machine with a stainless steel working table.

The orange color working table is painted RAL 2004 (orange color). The stainless steel working table is made out of AISI 301 stainless steel material with a clean and smooth surface.

Working table for heavy load

If the bag to be sealed is extreme long or very heavy (more than app. 8 kg (17,6 pounds)), a heavy load working table can be adapted to the machine. This working table is designed to hold heavy loads (up to 30 kg (66 pounds) static weight). It can be only ordered / used in combination with a E-type support + rolloflux. The heavy load working table as an accessory includes also montageplatte which has to be connected to the legs of the E–type support.

The heavy load working table can be ordered only in stainless steel version. We do not offer any powder painted version for this accessory. The stainless steel working table is made out of AISI 301 stainless steel material with a clean and smooth surface. All materials are food contact proof!

Working table for heavy load

The height of the heavy load working table can be adjusted from app. 220 mm (8,7 inch) up to 780 mm (30,70 inch) (distances are given from the ground floor). The height adjustment can be done in 25 mm (1 inch) steps. No special tools are needed to make a height adjustment!

Safety is always first at hacona. Our specially designed anti-fall hook assures, that the working table can not fall out of the locking tab.

The heavy load working table is produced only in stainless steel finish in order to avoid scretches on painted surface damage by moving the products on the working table plate. The surface is extremely easy to clean.

If high packaging capacity is required, or the E-type machine will be integrated into a packaging / filling line, than we suggest choosing the Bag Sealer roll conveyor as accessory.

Support with rolloflux

To each E – type machine a support with rolloflux can be ordered. The support is designed to optimize workflow and to emphasize the ergonomic work. It gives a solid base for the machine and offeres the possibility to produce also bags from tubular film. Each support includes also a set of rolls, called rolloflux. If bags should be produced from tubular film roll, than the roll can be placed onto the rolloflux.

The maximum loading weight of the rolloflux is 25 kg (55 pounds) static weight.

The support can be ordered only in stainless steel version. We do not offer any powder painted version for this accessory. The stainless steel support is made out of AISI 301 stainless steel material with a clean and smooth surface. The rolloflux rolls are made out of anodized aluminium. All materials are food contact proof!

Wheels for the E-type support

A genius solution to be even more flexible. All E-type supports with rolloflux can be equipped with wheels. By mounting the wheels onto the support the machine can be moved easily anywhere in the packaging area. This is a very usefull accessory in logistics, where different kind of products need to be packed in small packaging lots. Further this design is also very much preferred in food industry or clean room environment where the machine needs to be moved often for cleaning purpose.

Bag Sealer roll conveyor

The most perfect solution in order to move forward automized production. Each E-type machine can be mounted onto the Bag Sealer roll conveyor. The Bag Sealer roll conveyor is designed to emphasize the ergonomic work with handling heavy load bags.

Mostly preferred E-type machines mounted onto the Bag Sealer roll conveyor: ED – 620 and EB – 620

Roll conveyor size is: 1730 x 300 x 275 mm (68,1 x 11,8 x 10,8 inch)(L x W x H)

The roll conveyor (as standard accessory) has a standard roll conveyor height of 280 mm (11 inch)(measured from the ground floor). Based on customer needs the roll conveyor can be produced as a special custome design also in any other size.

The bag sealer roll conveyor is made out of anodized aluminium system profiles, designed by hacona. The connection plates and the fittings are stainless steel parts. The column which holds the machine can be adjusted according to the given machine size.

Sealing height of the machine: 400 – 895 mm (15,7 – 35,2 inch)
(distance measured from roll conveyor height)

The aluminium rolls can be easily taken out and a scale can be integrated into the place of the aluminium rollers. This way the Bag Sealer roll conveyor can become a perfect semi- automatic bag filling and sealing machine.
