PlateLoc User Guide
The seal time and temperature you specify depends on the type of
plate and the type of seal you are using. The following table shows
the settings you can use as a starting point. For the most up-to-date
starting point settings, see the PlateLoc Thermal Plate Sealer Seal
Selection Guide. You can locate the guide on the Velocity11 website
at www.velocity11.com.
Velocity11 recommends that you perform seal optimization tests to
determine the optimal seal time and temperature. For general
optimization guidelines, see “Optimizing seal quality” on page 77.
