How to handle filled tubing

The HOT LIPS TUBE SEALER can handle liquid filled tubing. Typically, a clamp or plug
is used to prevent the liquid from leaking while being sealed. The liquid will be
displaced by the specially contoured jaws and the seal area will be free of liquid or
bubbles. Any clamps, plugs or seals should not be inside the width of the machine.
