FR-1000 Solid-Ink Roller Continuous Band Sealer

Q: What is the essential difference between the FR-1000 and the standard FR-900, and how should I choose?

The FR-1000 (Solid-Ink Model) uses a hot-melt solid-ink roller to print clearly visible black text such as EXP: 2026/08/18. The print is instantly dry, highly visible, and easy to recognize — the top choice for supermarket and regulatory-compliant sales. The FR-900 (Steel-Print Model) uses inkless heat pressing to create indented impressions with no color. It is best for internal turnover where high visibility of the date is not required and zero-consumable operation is preferred.

Q: Is the ink roller a consumable, and how often does it need to be replaced?

The ink roller is a normal consumable. The higher the daily output and print frequency, the faster it wears. We recommend keeping 2 to 3 spare ink rollers on hand and judging replacement by the actual clarity of the printed imprints.

The FR-1000 is a continuous band sealer with integrated solid-ink roller printing, engineered for hands-free, high-throughput heat sealing and one-step date/batch coding of pre-filled pouches across food, bakery, tea, pharmaceutical, daily-chemical, agricultural, and hardware industries. The machine combines continuous auto-sealing (0–16 m/min line speed) with synchronized solid-ink printing that produces crisp, instantly dry, scratch-resistant black markings — clearly visible at retail and fully compliant with supermarket traceability standards. Key advantages include independent dual temperature control (seal 0–400 °C, ink wheel separately heated), a high-purity copper heating block for faster and more uniform heat transfer, 12 mm seal width, 5 kg conveying load, and a robust 24 kg horizontal chassis available in painted or stainless-steel finish. Daily output is 3–5× higher than manual hand-pressure sealers, fully replacing inefficient manual operation.

I. Product Overview

1. Product Category

Equipment Name: Continuous Band Sealer with Solid-Ink Roller / Ink Wheel Printing
Model: FR-1000
Equipment Positioning: A continuous-conveyor packaging sealer purpose-built for small-to-medium batch and high-efficiency continuous sealing. Designed for the food, pharmaceutical, and daily-chemical industries, it integrates "continuous automatic heat sealing" and "clear ink-printed date coding" into a single pass — fully replacing inefficient hand-pressure or foot-pedal sealers.
Form Factor: Continuous Conveyor · Horizontal.

2. Applications

Industry Applications: Food processing, bakery and tea packaging, pharmaceutical and healthcare, daily chemicals, agricultural products, hardware and auto parts, and any industry requiring clear, regulatory-compliant date/batch coding.
Applicable Products: All types of pre-filled, ready-to-seal pouches — plastic film bags, aluminum-foil bags, laminated film bags, etc.
Production Scale: Ideal for small-batch multi-SKU changeovers and medium-to-large batch continuous assembly packaging.

3. Core Functions

Continuous Auto-Sealing: The conveyor feeds pouches at a steady, uniform speed, automatically fusing and setting the seal — no manual hand-pressing required, dramatically freeing up operator hands.
Independent Dual Temperature Control: The seal temperature (0–400 °C) and the ink-wheel heating temperature are regulated independently, accommodating both different bag-film thicknesses and the controlled softening of the solid-ink roller.
Solid-Ink Roller Printing: Standard-equipped hot-melt ink-wheel coding prints production dates, expiration dates, or batch numbers synchronously with the seal. The print is full-bodied, instantly dry, strongly adherent, and scratch-resistant — no smudging.
High-Purity Copper Heating Block: Manufactured from high-purity copper, the block delivers faster heat conduction and more uniform heating, improving seal quality yield.

II. Core Advantages

2-in-1 Sealing & Printing: Pouch feeding, heat sealing, air cooling, printing, and discharge are completed in one pass. A single operator easily handles both feeding and packing, and daily output rises 3–5× over traditional manual sealing.
High-Visibility Font, Supermarket-Traceability Compliant: Unlike the color-less indented steel print on the FR-900, the FR-1000 produces clearly visible solid-black text — easy for consumers and supermarket scanners to read, with significantly stronger regulatory compliance.

IV. SOP & Workflow

1. Required Materials

Pouches to Seal: Pre-filled, ready-to-seal flexible bags.
Power Supply: 110V / 220V mains.
Solid-Ink Roller / Ink Wheel: One piece is included as standard and pre-fitted on the machine.
Type Blocks: The corresponding type blocks must be installed for printing.

2. Startup & Operation

Pre-Start Check: Twist and lift the 【Emergency Stop】 button, then turn on the 【Power】 switch.
Switch On Cooling Fan: Turn on the 【Fan】 switch to activate internal heat dissipation and the air-cooling duct.
Set Heating:
Turn on the 【Heat Seal】 switch and set the target seal temperature on the 【Digital Temperature Controller】;
Turn on the 【Print】 switch, then slowly rotate the 【Ink-Wheel Temperature】 knob clockwise to heat and soften the ink roller.
Warm Up & Melt Ink: Wait 3–5 minutes until the digital readout stabilizes and the ink roller is fully softened.
Adjust Conveyor: Rotate the 【Sealing Speed】 knob to the speed that best fits your production pace; the conveyor begins to run.
Feed & Seal with Fine Adjustment:
Place the pouch mouth flat against the guide rail into the inlet; the machine automatically completes heat sealing, air cooling, printing, and discharge;
Inspect the first finished piece. If the printed date sits too far forward or too far back, directly rotate the panel-mounted 【Print Position】 knob to fine-tune until the imprint is perfectly placed.

3. Shutdown SOP (Critical to Prevent Heat-Damage Belt Failure)

Step 1: When production ends, always switch off both the 【Heat Seal】 and 【Print】 switches first (stop all heating);
Step 2: Leave the 【Fan】 on and the conveyor running idle for 3–5 minutes to perform forced air-cooling and heat dissipation;
Step 3: Only after the digital temperature readout drops below 100 °C may you switch off the 【Fan】 and 【Power】 switches.

V. Sales Tips & FAQ

Sales Tips

Lead With "Solid-Ink Printing vs Steel Printing": Solid-ink printing produces full-color, clearly visible, non-piercing imprints, perfect for food and daily-chemical customers who require clearly traceable dates/batch numbers. The FR-900's steel printing produces heat-pressed indentations with zero ink and zero consumables.
Recommend 110V / 60Hz for North American Buyers: Confirm the voltage version with customer service before order placement to prevent buyers from receiving equipment they cannot power on.
