MS Handheld Ultrasonic Welder

Ultrasonic Welding is another option for encapsulation of paper and objects.  Using focused ultrasonic waves, this handheld sealer can join sheets of polyester film, polyethylene sheeting, Hollytex, Reemay, or Tyvek together with a strong weld.

APPLICATION

The MS Handheld Ultrasonic Welder provides a strong, ultrasonically welded seal that is controlled by the user. Operating in timed bursts, the handpiece is pulled across the material, creating a seal between an upper and lower tip.  The upper tip is a solid horn-shaped metal piece.  The Welder includes two swappable lower tips. 

The first is a solid mobile wheel that glides underneath the material, giving the user a straight sealed line that is manipulated during the sealing duration. 

The second is a slotted mobile wheel that creates a notched sealed line.

The MS Handheld Ultrasonic Welder is optimized for making enclosures using 2, 3 and 4-mil polyester film; thinner and thicker films may require some testing and practice to achieve seals with.  It cannot seal un-like materials together (such as Tyvek and Polyester Film).  However, it is able to effectively seal polyethylene sheeting, such as for creating enclosures for water-soaked items or creating covers for larger items.

It is an excellent portable option for on-site collection encapsulation, quick jobs needing to be encapsulated for handling or transport, or when traveling to sites for conservation work thanks to its compact size.

A hard-shell travel case is available; sold separately.

This tool can use either 110v (US) or 220v (international) power.  A plug adapter may be needed for use outside of the United States.
