A Parallel Seam Sealer is a packaging equipment used to apply a sealant to a seam in a metal can, in order to prevent leaks and preserve the contents. The sealing process involves heating the metal to a temperature where the sealant material melts and forms a bond with the metal. The parallel seam sealing process can be performed either manually or automatically by using specialized machines, such as a parallel seam sealer. The parallel seam sealer is typically used for food packaging, chemicals, and other products that need to be packaged in metal cans. The parallel seam sealer is designed to ensure a consistent and uniform seam seal, and it operates by heating the metal and applying pressure to the seam in a parallel manner.
Laser seam welder and parallel seam sealer are both methods for hermetic sealing of packages in the electronics and microelectronics industry.
Laser seam welding uses a laser beam to heat and fuse the metal along a pre-scribed line, creating a hermetic seal. The laser beam is directed to the metal components of the package, creating a high-quality, tight and reliable seal.
Parallel seam sealing, on the other hand, uses a heated metal wheel to press the metal components of the package together along a pre-scribed line. This creates a hermetic seal by physically pressing the metal components together.
Both laser seam welder and parallel seam sealer have their own advantages and disadvantages. Laser seam welding is faster and more precise than parallel seam sealing, and produces a cleaner, more consistent seal. However, it also requires more expensive equipment and can be more complicated to use. Parallel seam sealing is simpler and less expensive, but may produce a less consistent seal and take longer to complete.
