The Optimum Hot Jaw Heat Sealer
Heat sealers are critical to provide a proper barrier to oxygen for barrier bags and not all heat sealers are created equal.
Some are designed for sealing cellophane and foils. They are NOT recommended for poly material or multi-layer composites like our mylar foil oxygen barrier bags designed for long term food storage.
And when looking at sealers that ARE designed for mylar food storage bags, some give you only 1/10th of an inch wide seal – not what you want for all your precious food. Our heat sealers provide a full ½ inch seal so you know that you have a good seal that will protect your food.
Our 6-inch wide "constant heat" clam type hot jaw heat sealer has jaws that are sufficient to close any type of heat sealable multi-layer structure. It can be used to seal the standard 4.3 mil and 7.5 mil 20" x 30" barrier bags used in the five and six gallon pails as well as the smaller bags like our 1 gallon size mylar foil oxygen barrier bags. For your food storage needs, you really want to get a heat sealer that will give you a great seal that will hold up for as long as you need it to.
Our heat sealer makes a seal that is 6” x ½”. When done properly the seal will appear finely crimped, which gives a very wide, sturdy seal. It takes approximately 3-4 seconds of clamping to make the seal.
On the 1 gallon or quart size mylar bags you’d need 2 “clamps”. On the larger size bags designed for 5 gallon buckets, 4 clamps - you would do 3 clamps, add the oxygen absorbers, squish out as much air as possible, then do the last clamp to seal the bag entirely).
Note: FoodSaver and Seal-A-Meal vacuum sealers do NOT reach a high enough temperature to seal the mylar foil bags. Those vacuum sealers are designed specifically for the clear plastic bags sold to be used with them, not the mylar foil bags. They do make vacuum sealers that would work but a low end one is $1500 and they jump immediately into the $3500-$4500 range.
