Abstract:
A heat seal wheel for use with a heat sealing apparatus associated with a continuous packaging machine, for forming a longitudinal seal in a flat sheet of flexible film. The heat seal wheel is characterized by a planar heater comprising a laminar resistive heating element sandwiched in between a top layer and a bottom layer of a thermally conductive and electrically insulative material. The top layer is bonded to the bottom surface a bearing disk, in contact with and supporting a rotating heat seal wheel for conductively heating the seal wheel and producing a heat seal in the seams of a moving web of plastic film.
