The MSTSS500 is an American made pneumatically operated tube sealer capable of handling up to 2,000 tubes per hour. The unique feed-through design makes it possible to remove tubes from either end, great when production lines are moved or changed based on the product being filled and sealed.

Custom Tube Racks
To ensure the most consistant seal we recommend adding an optional Tube Rack to the order. Each is made with your specific tube dimensions in mind, ensuring the diameter and spacing beween tubes gets you the optimal number for your production (model MSTSS500). Contact IMPAK for pricing and availability.

To ensure proper fit we recommend that you send us at least two tubes prior to purchase. We will insert your tubes for fit in the rack and send you a photo with your tubes contained in the openings.
Case Study: A Tube Sealer Gets Modified for Viking Cold Solutions
Custom Upgrades to a TP-30 for Viking Cold Solutions:
Example of how IMPAK can build production tube sealers based on customer-specific applications. In this case an upgraded TP-30 tall enough to accommodate Viking Cold Solutions' product, complete with a custom tube rack for increased production speed.
The sealing system designed for Viking Cold Solutions is an excellent example of how IMPAK’s engineering group took the basic frame of the TP-30, a unit with a 30” wide seal bar designed for sealing multiple tubes, primarily for the cosmetic industry. They then increased the height of the basic unit and machined the product rack to be a positioning block for the product that is key to Viking Cold Solution. This allows the company that was previously filling and closing them one at a time, to now put them in a rack that holds six, dramatically increasing their production.
TUBE SEALER OPTIONS
Dual Element
Also known as Bi-Active Heat. This option is used to seal thick materials or materials that require a high temperature to seal.
A standard sealing machine is equipped with a single sealing bar. A unit with the dual element option has two seal bars, this allows both sides of the film to be heated simultaneously. It also reduces the time it takes to seal a material, increasing production and output.
Typical applications for the Dual Element option include, tubes and flexible packaging used for products made with glycerin, oils or thick creams that can seep between the layers during the sealing process.
Dual Element Kill Switch Option
This option refers to a toggle switch that allows the user to turn the second heating bar on or off on a unit that already has the dual element option.
This option will convert the sealing unit from single element to dual element and back at the flip of a switch. This is extremely useful when sealing tubes of varying thickness, or when sealing different types of products on the same machine.
220 Volt Option
In the United States, 110 volts of power is standard. However, in places such as South America, Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia, the standard is 220 Volts of power. This option allows the user to operate the unit where 220 Volts of power are available.
5/8” Wide Element with 220 Volt Option
he 220 Volt unit comes with a ¼” wide heating element. This option allows the unit to have a 5/8” wide heating element. This is used for aesthetic purposes or for larger tubes that require wider seals. This option is only available for units that work with 220 Volts of power.
Bar Drilled Option for Water Cooling
This option refers to the holes that have been drilled through a second seal bar that allow cool water to flow through the bar. As the unit is used repeatedly, the heating elements tend to get hotter and, after a while, the user must pause to allow them to cool before resuming sealing. With a water cooled system, this wait time is dramatically reduced. Note: For this to work, you must also have a Digital Water Chiller. See below
Digital Water Chiller
This self-contained water cooling and circulating system allows the user to cool the heating elements by using cold water. This option can dramatically increase sealing production by reducing cool down time. Note: for this to work, you must have the Bar Drilled Option for Water Cooling described above.
Bar Drilled For Air Cooling
The seal bars have been drilled to allow for air cooling. While reducing wait time and increasing production, this option is not as effective as the water cooled system.
Tube Racks (available only for the MSTSS Series Pneumatic Tube Sealer)
Custom cut tube racks made to the customer’s specifications. This allows the user to have multiple tube racks available for use. The use of multiple racks can speed up production time.
Heated coding Bar Option (available only for the MSTSS760 Pneumatic Tube Sealer)
This custom embossing attachment is made according to the customer specifications. This option allows the user to emboss a message in the seal of tubes. Available only for a single element machine, this option can be used for Part Numbers, Lot Numbers, Company Names, dates, or any other information necessary. You will need to purchase the number and letter sets separately. For additional information, please contact our sales department at sealersales@impakcorporation.com
