Below is everything you need to know — plus real local options you can buy now.

Key Features You Should Demand

When selecting an impulse sealing machine specifically for food packaging, consider:

1. Seal integrity (airtight & leak-proof): The machine must produce clean, strong seals that prevent moisture, pests, and contamination.

2. Material compatibility: Must handle food-grade plastic films — PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), laminated plastic, possibly foil or multi-layer packaging. Machine should allow for different thicknesses.

3. Adjustable timer and heat settings: So you can tweak the seal time and heat to avoid burning thin films or failing to seal thicker films properly.

4. Compliance with food safety / hygiene: Surfaces that are easy to clean, no rust, no toxic materials. The heating part must not contaminate the package.

5. Voltage & power suitability: Kampala’s power supply is ~220-240V; machine must be compatible, stable, with sufficient wattage so seal strength isn’t compromised.

6. Durability & spare parts: Heating wire, Teflon strip, fuse, etc. must be replaceable locally. For food usage, frequent cycles, these parts wear.

7. Safety: Insulated handles, indicator lights, stable sealing surface so operator doesn’t accidentally burn food packaging or themselves.

8. Size / sealing length: Depending on your bag widths. Small snack sachets need ~200mm; larger bags need 300mm or more.
