PM-1800 Inkjet Printing Continuous Band Sealer

Q: What's the difference between the PM-1800 and the FR-900 / FR-1000?

The core difference lies in the coding technology. The FR-900 uses steel printing (physical metal indentation, no color). The FR-1000 uses solid-ink roller printing (black solid-ink text) — both require type blocks to be installed and replaced. The PM-1800 uses smart inkjet printing (cartridge-based inkjet). Print content is set directly on the touch screen, requires no type blocks, and can also print QR codes, barcodes, and graphics.

Q: Can it print QR codes and barcodes?

Yes. The inkjet system supports QR codes, barcodes, and graphic logos, ideal for one-product-one-code, scan-to-trace, and e-commerce barcode scenarios. Neither steel-print nor solid-ink roller models can achieve this.

Q: How often does the ink cartridge need to be replaced and how do I replace it?

The cartridge is a normal consumable. The higher the print frequency, the faster it wears. The actual replacement interval depends on print clarity. When the ink runs low, simply replace the cartridge — no type-block adjustment or ink-circuit cleaning required. We recommend keeping 1 to 2 spare cartridges on hand.

The PM-1800 is an inkjet-printing continuous band sealer that integrates heat sealing and digital inkjet coding into a single pass, engineered for food, pharmaceutical, pesticide, daily-chemical, and chemical industries. Purpose-built for sealing pre-filled pouches of roasted nuts, tea leaves, herbal medicine, food ingredients, seasonings, granules, aluminum-foil bags, and kraft paper bags, it eliminates the need for traditional steel type blocks. Key advantages include touch-screen configurable inkjet coding that prints production dates, batch numbers, QR codes, barcodes, graphics, and Chinese / English characters with no physical type changes, adjustable 8–10 cm printing spacing across different pouch lengths, 0–400 °C digital temperature control, a 12 mm seal width, a 5 kg conveying load, and a compact 23 kg chassis with simple structure and low power consumption. Sealing and coding in one pass — shorter line, lower equipment cost.

I. Product Overview

1. Product Category

Equipment Name: Continuous Band Sealer with Inkjet Printer / Inkjet Printing Sealing Machine
Model: PM-1800
Equipment Positioning: A continuous packaging machine that integrates sealing + coding in one pass. The conveyor continuously feeds pouches, and heat sealing and inkjet coding are completed synchronously in a single trip — completely eliminating the bulky traditional steel type blocks. Purpose-built for modern food, pharmaceutical, and daily-chemical soft-packaging lines.
Form Factor: Continuous Conveyor Type — simple and compact structure, small footprint, attractive appearance, and low power consumption.

2. Applications

Industries: Food, pharmaceutical, pesticide, daily-chemical / cosmetics, and chemical industries.
Applicable Products: Pre-filled soft-packaging bags of roasted nuts and seeds, tea leaves, traditional Chinese herbal medicine, food ingredients, seasoning powders, granules, and similar fills.
Applicable Bags: Aluminum-foil bags, kraft paper bags, and other heat-sealable soft packaging.
Production Scale: Ideal for small-to-medium batch multi-SKU runs and medium-to-large batch continuous assembly packaging.

3. Core Functions

Sealing + Coding in One Pass: The conveyor feeds pouches continuously — heat sealing and inkjet coding are completed in one pass, eliminating the need for a second pass-through or manual labeling.
Smart Inkjet with Touch-Screen Setting: A cartridge-nozzle inkjet system prints any content set freely on the touch screen — production dates, batch numbers, QR codes, barcodes, and graphics are all supported. No type blocks, no per-character loading and unloading.
Adjustable Printing Spacing: The print spacing between consecutive pouches is adjustable from 8 cm to 10 cm, adapting to different pouch lengths and styles.

II. Core Advantages

Digital Coding, Change Anytime: No steel type blocks, no ink-roller mess — print content is edited on the touch screen directly. Text and graphics alike are supported.
QR Code, Barcode & Graphics Support: Capable of inkjet-printing QR codes, barcodes, multi-line characters, and graphic logos, meeting the food-and-pharmaceutical one-product-one-code / full-process traceability requirement — something neither steel printing nor solid-ink rollers can achieve.
Free Fonts, Chinese & English: Built-in fonts include KaiTi, Arial, Microsoft YaHei and more, with dot-matrix and outline-style options. Chinese, English, digits, and symbols can all be printed (steel printing / solid-ink rollers typically support only digits and English letters).
Sealing + Coding in One Pass, Shorter Line: Heat sealing and inkjet coding are completed in one pass, replacing the traditional "band sealer + inkjet printer" two-machine setup — shorter line, smaller footprint, less equipment maintenance, and one less operator.
Cartridge Consumable, Easy Maintenance: The cartridge-nozzle design means simply swap the cartridge when ink runs low — no type-block adjustment, no manual ink dipping. Day-to-day maintenance cost is low.

IV. Operation & Workflow

1. Required Materials

Pouches to Seal: Pre-filled, ready-to-seal soft-packaging bags (aluminum-foil bags, kraft paper bags, etc.).
Power Supply: 110V / 220V mains.
Ink Cartridge: Installed and confirmed to have ink. When prints become faint, simply replace the cartridge — no type blocks required.

2. Standard Workflow

Power On: Connect mains power and switch on the main power switch and the cooling-fan switch.
Set Sealing Parameters: Switch on the heating switch. Set the temperature-controller value according to the film material and thickness, and adjust the conveyor belt to the appropriate speed.
Install Ink Cartridge & Boot Up: Remove the cartridge's protective clip, insert the cartridge into the print-head slot at a 45° angle, and clip it firmly into place. Switch on the inkjet system screen.
Edit Print Information: Edit the production date, expiration date, batch number, or call up a stored template on the touch screen. Confirm font size and number of lines.
First-Piece Sample & Fine-Tuning: Feed a sample pouch for a trial run. Check: ① Seal strength and flatness; ② Print clarity and print position.
Continuous High-Efficiency Operation: The operator places the pouches flat on the conveyor. The machine automatically performs: copper-block heat sealing → cooling & setting → inkjet coding → clean, smooth discharge.

3. Core Maintenance & Shutdown Specifications (⚠️ Critical to Prevent Nozzle Clogging and Heat-Damage Belt Failure)

【Ink Cartridge Anti-Dry Protection (Extremely Important)】:
When the operation ends or is paused for over 15 minutes, the ink cartridge must be removed immediately and clipped back into its original sealed clip!
Never leave the cartridge exposed to air for an extended period, otherwise the print nozzle will dry out and crust over, causing broken lines or no ink output.
【Band Sealer Proper Shutdown】:
First switch off the heating switch;
Keep the cooling fan and conveyor running idle for 3–5 minutes until the machine body has cooled below 100 °C, then switch off the main power.

V. Sales Tips & FAQ

Sales Tips

Lead With "Say Goodbye to Type-Block Hassle": Address the small-to-medium manufacturer pain point of "changing batches and dates is too troublesome" — emphasize that the touch screen lets the operator edit the print in 3 seconds, with zero mechanical wear.
Focus on "QR Codes & Compliance Traceability": For customers entering supermarkets, running e-commerce, or exporting who require barcodes and one-product-one-code compliance — lock in the PM-1800 directly (neither steel-print nor solid-ink models can deliver this).
Counter the "Sealer + Coder Two-Machine" Setup: For customers who originally planned to buy a band sealer plus a separate inkjet printer, tell them the PM-1800 does it all in one machine — saving one piece of equipment, one operator, and valuable production-line space.
Cartridge Consumables Drive Repeat Purchases: The cartridge is a long-term consumable. Suggest the customer add 1–2 spare cartridges to the initial order — they get smoother operation, and you get fewer remote after-sales calls.
