The AIE 450FD Series is a high-performance Double Impulse Foot Operated Sealers designed to fuse thick or multi-layered materials from both sides simultaneously, such as thick and gusseted bags. I used it to seal heavy clear vinyl. (search YouTube for Clear Vinyl Neckties. That's me, with the ants.)
I purchased this item about 10 years ago. It has less than 40 hours of use. It has always been stored in a smoke free California home.
$200. Cash only. In person only. I have the original Instruction Manual and the shipping box.
From the manufacturer's website:
These machines are specifically engineered for demanding packaging environments where seal strength, precision, and thickness capacity are critical. Each model features:
* Heating elements on both the upper and lower jaws (can be toggled to operate on single jaw mode only)
* Produces a strong, clean 5 mm-wide seal (optional 10 mm seal)
*Available in 12”, 18”, 24”, and 32” seal lengths [[ this model is 18" ]]
*Max seal thickness: up to 2 x 0.4mm material (approx. 20mm gusseted bags)
* Max operating temperature: 250°C
*Typical seal cycle time: 1-3 seconds, depending on material thickness and heat settings
* Standard 110V power, 220V models available upon request
* Foot-operated design allows for hands-free control, significantly reducing operator fatigue, and allows precise placement
* Stand, adjustable work table, and foot pedal included standard
Ideal Applications & Materials
The FD Series is designed to seal thicker flexible packaging materials that traditional single-heat systems can’t handle effectively. Its dual-impulse technology ensures deep, uniform seals for challenging applications, such as:
Heavy-duty gusseted poly bags
Thick multi-layer laminated films
Polyethylene and Polypropylene packaging
High-barrier or foil-laminated materials
Specialty industrial or bulk packaging
Common Industry Uses
Food & Agriculture: Seal bulk dry goods, produce, and grains.
Medical & Pharmaceutical: Seal reinforced pouches and high-barrier packaging for sterile supplies.
Manufacturing & Industrial: Ideal for packaging hardware, resins, or other heavy components in thick poly bags.
Chemical & Raw Material Handling: Safely package dense or reactive substances in secure, multi-layer barrier films.
