Hot Air Seam Sealing Machines are also known as Seam Sealing Machines. Seams are most essential connections in the protective clothing, hence the machines are required to be flexible and durable for manufacturing two or three dimensional products. These products are innovative, high-tech and special as they are manufactured keeping focus on purpose of the work. This makes seams very special and sometimes the life of persons depends on these seams. Thus, these machines are required to accurate and efficient. Some of the types of material that these machines have to seam are polyester, nylon, leather membrane, cotton, etc. Moreover, increased use of thermoplastic technology in sportswear apparel, yoga apparel, intimate apparel and many regular apparel items etc., has increased the demand for Hot Air Seam Sealing Machines. The use of sew-free application is limited to apparels only but they are also used in shoes, bags, material for medicals, gloves, tents, etc. This includes waterproof seam sealing, zipper bonding, sew-free pocket adhesive, fabric joining, front zip sealing, line bonding, and overlay taping among many others.

Key Market Driver -

• Increasing Demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Kits • Functionality for Any Fabric and Economy of Operational Efficiency

Key Market Restraint -

• Complexity of Components & Designs of the Cooling Systems

Furthermore, these fabrics that are used for seam sealing require waterproof taping, in order to prevent water infiltrate through the holes caused by needles. Hot Air Seam Sealing Machines are designed for making the fabric waterproof or sealed by taping with hot air. This makes the clothes highly effective in contaminated zones. Modern Hot Air Seam Sealing Machines have many features making them widely accepted globally. Some of those features are:

• Real time adjustable speed sealing for continuous stretched seam


• Ideal for tapered tape running on curvature for better-quality waterproofing on crossed seam.


• Variance speed for top and bottom rollers, which are ideal for reducing elasticity in fabric creasing.


• Electric nozzles placing for fine-tuning by control panel entries


•  “Remember” function for storing multiple nozzle position


• Digital tape size counter


• Multi-function in the foot knob for easy one-foot control while operating.


• Touch screen display interface with Multi-lingual support
