ME455FI – 450mm foot operated heat sealer – MEC – 5mm element

ME455FI 450mm Heat Sealer Foot Operated Impulse  – MEC Brand

The MEC ME455FI 450mm foot operated heat sealer,  is a robust, industrial-grade 450mm heat sealer designed for hands-free operation via foot pedal. Built with a durable, freestanding metal frame, this machine is ideal for repetitive bag sealing tasks in busy production and packaging environments. With a wide 5mm seal width and impulse sealing technology, the ME455FI 450mm heat sealer provides consistent, professional-quality seals across a variety of plastic packaging materials.

Unlike hand sealers, the foot-operated sealer design allows operators to keep both hands free to guide the product and packaging—greatly improving speed, efficiency, and safety in high-volume packaging operations. The standard working height of 85cm from floor to seal ensures comfortable use while standing.

The ME455FI 450mm heat sealer is suitable for sealing polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), BOPP, laminated plastic bags, and foil pouches. It is especially useful for pre-made bags used in food packaging, chemical products, powdered goods, hardware kits, or retail items. The 450mm sealing bar accommodates medium-sized bags with ease, producing strong, 5mm , airtight seals to preserve freshness and prevent leakage or contamination.

Impulse sealing means power is only consumed during the sealing cycle, which not only conserves energy but also reduces heat exposure, extending element life. A built-in timer control allows the operator to adjust the sealing time to suit different material thicknesses.
