Packaging & Wrapping Heaters
In the packaging sector, heaters are generally used for heating purposes. In a packaging process, especially when plastic film or packaging material is involved, the material may need to be at a certain temperature. This temperature is necessary to shape the material or to enable sealing processes.
Heaters are used as heating elements in packaging machines. For example, in a packaging machine, heat is required to melt the plastic film and seal the packaging.
Heaters use electrical energy to generate this heat and are designed to provide the desired temperature in specific areas of the machine. Therefore, in the packaging sector, heaters are used to provide the necessary heat to process packaging materials and to perform sealing operations.

Which Heaters are Used in Packaging Sector?
Various types of heaters can be used in the packaging sector, including:
Band Heaters: These are heaters that are typically used in plastic film packaging machines and are long, thin, and wide bands. They are used to heat the packaging material.
Hot Knife Heaters: These are heaters used in thermal cutting machines. They are used to cut and seal plastic film or other packaging materials.
Carbon Dioxide Heaters: This type of heater is used particularly in the food industry for sealing packaged products to ensure that carbon dioxide gas remains within the packaging.
Quartz Heaters: These are heaters used in thermoforming machines and hot press machines. They have high temperature resistance and rapid heating characteristics.
Ceramic Heaters: These are heaters that provide high temperature resistance and ensure homogeneous heat distribution. They are used in hot press machines and vacuum packaging machines.
These heaters have different shapes and characteristics depending on the different functions of packaging machines. The type of heater to be used is determined based on the type of packaging process, the material to be used, and the technical requirements of the machines.
The Importance of HeatingUsed in the Packaging Sector
Key Elements for Heating Processes: In packaging processes, especially when using plastic film or packaging materials, they may need to be at a certain temperature. This temperature allows the material to take shape, melt, or enable sealing processes. Heaters are used as a fundamental element to provide this temperature.
Quality and Safety of Packaging: The correct and consistent operation of heaters used in packaging processes is important for the quality and safety of packaging. Packaging materials that are not heated to the right temperature and in a homogeneous manner can lead to undesired outcomes and affect the quality of products.
Productivity and Efficiency: Heaters can accelerate heating processes in packaging machines and increase efficiency. Rapid heating processes enable packaging operations to be completed faster, thereby increasing productivity and reducing operating costs.
Sealing Processes: Especially in hot sealing methods, heaters are necessary for performing sealing processes. Heaters, combined and brought together with the temperature created between materials, ensure the integrity of packaging by providing airtight seals.
Plate and Cartridge Heating Used in Packaging Sector
Plate Heaters:
Function: Plate heaters are typically used to heat large and flat surfaces. They are used to heat packaging materials, especially materials like plastic films, coated papers, or thermoplastic sheets.
Structure: These heaters are mostly made up of heating elements placed on a metal plate. They are mounted under the plate and heat its surface by converting electrical energy into heat energy.
Applications: Plate heaters are used in thermoforming machines, blister packaging machines, vacuum packaging machines, and similar applications.
Cartridge Heaters:
Function: Cartridge heaters are used to provide intense heating in a smaller and specific area. They are preferred for heating a particular area in cutting or sealing operations.
Structure: These heaters are designed for use in areas requiring more intense heating. They typically consist of a thin heating element wire placed inside a metal body.
Applications: Cartridge heaters are used in hot cutting machines, edge sealing machines, and similar applications.
Both types of heaters are important for ensuring temperature control and stability in packaging processes. They also play a critical role in ensuring proper processing of packaging materials and enhancing the quality of packaging. The use of these heaters can increase the efficiency of production processes and help in performing packaging operations faster and more reliably.
