FKR-300 Hand Held Crimp Heat Sealer Bag Crimp Heat Sealer Sealing Machine Tool Aluminum Foil Kraft (12" Sealing Length)

Got the product today with a label on it to use it in 110v and not in 220V UAE VOLTAGE. WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF IT WAS MENTIONED

I purchased this item to provide a secondary seal to retort pouches which I use for pressure canning. These are the multi layer generally gold colored pouches SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED RETORT POUCHES. Not ordinary mylar pouches. My chamber vacuum sealer, a LEM Max Vac Pro will just barely do this, and requires multiple applications of the seal bar. I was using an ordinary iron for a secondary seal, and to work properly I needed to iron both sides in a process that wasn't very controllable. The problem with retort pouches is pressure inside the pouch as the pressure canner cools. The contents of the pouches do not cool as fast as the water in the canner cools. This results in the pouches inflating and building pressure. This limits the amount of food you can place in these pouches because you need considerable expansion room, and also puts stress on the seal because which is still hot/warm, and so in it's weakest state. The wide multi groove heat seal with heat applied on both sides at once looks like it will make a much stronger seal, probably stronger than the factory weld... I can't tear it apart once cooled. This solves ONE of my problems.....the seal. I'm developing a method of holding the pressure canner at 15 psi after taking it off the heat until everything cools off, using air pressure, and this will solve the volume issue. As it is you have to use a large pouch for a small amount of food.

This is very easy to use and heats up fast! We use it on 10mil n 16mil mylar and it seals with ease in seconds. The solid teeth grip solves the issues the cheap heat strip models use that wears out quickly and has to be replaced. Nothing here to replace - just solid teeth that heat up n get job done fast. The adjustable dial is also super nice as well as the support brackets to keep the hot blades off your counter - though we still use a cutting board underneath it to be safe. Highly recommend as this is very solid and well made.

Do your research? I got this so I can seal the bags but none of the bags I found or that I wanted to use could be sealed with it. But it's sturdy and built to be bulletproof. I'll definitely keep it for other applications

I purchased one, the temperature know literally came off in my hand, exchanged which was great, the second exactly the same problem.
