With MELAcontrol Seal Check, the required control of sealing devices is carried out quickly and cost-effectively. The indicator paper precisely proves the quality and reproducibility of the sealing seams. With the correct fusion of the inner film layer and its correct pressure on the paper, a full-surface seal seam is produced. Insufficient sealing temperatures, worn sealing bars or insufficient contact pressure thus become visible.
