Speed depends on which MPS model fits your production volume. Tabletop models like MPS6140 and MPS6340 can handle up to 300 inches per minute, while MPS14000 can handle up to 1,500 inches per minute. Midrange models such as MPS6100 and MPS6500 run up to 500 inches per minute. MPS7100 and MPS7500 run up to 800 inches per minute.

The core distinction between MPS6000 and MPS7000 is their capacity and duty. MPS7000 models are designed for higher-speed, heavier-duty production than standard MPS6000 models.

MPS6000 includes tabletop, standard-production and validatable model iterations, while MPS7000 includes higher-speed, heavier-duty and related validatable or vacuum gas flush variants. Both series support film thicknesses up to 12 mil/300 micron and use color touch-screen controls with recipe management and monitoring features. This means your decision point is throughput and duty cycle, not core sealing capability.

Impulse sealers use short bursts of heat to seal each bag, while continuous band sealers apply steady heat as bags move through the machine. Our MPS continuous band sealers are built for ongoing, high-volume production. This constant heat application supports uninterrupted line speed.

Plexpack's impulse sealers like the VacPack line are better suited to lower-volume or intermittent sealing needs, using a burst of heat rather than constant application.

It depends on the specific model. Many MPS models can be configured with conveyor options sized to your bag requirements and production needs.

• MPS6500 and MPS7500: They come standard with a food-grade stainless steel conveyor, 6 inches by 6 feet, with guide rails.
• MPS6100 and MPS7100: These models are sold without a conveyor as the base configuration and are designed for lighter bags up to 2 pounds that don't require one.
• MPS6140 and MPS6340: These tabletop models offer an optional product shelf or tabletop conveyor rather than a built-in standard one.
• MPS14000: This sealer offers custom conveyors as an option rather than a standard integrated conveyor in the base configuration.

The MPS Series seals different types of heat-sealable bags and pouches, including poly bags, foil bags, laminated structures, Tyvek and gusseted or stand-up pouch formats.

Validatable models are designed for materials common to medical and pharmaceutical packaging, such as Tyvek, foil and poly bags used for IV bags, suture kits, medical draping, bandages and gauze.

The MPS Series can handle up to 12 mil/300 micron in thickness, or 6 mil/150 micron maximum when the bag is gusseted. This figure holds true across the whole series regardless of model.
