HEAT SEALER AND MEDICINE DIVIDEDLY PACKAGING APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat sealer capable of preventing any defective seal from occurring while shortening the time before the temperature of a heating device reaches a value necessary for the heat seal after starting a medicine dividedly packaging apparatus, and the medicine dividedly packaging apparatus equipped with the same. SOLUTION: The heat sealer has a heater stand and a heater receiving stand provided facing the heater stand. A thin plate-shaped heating element to be heated by electric conduction for thermally weldable sheets is provided on the heater stand in an exposed manner. The thermally weldable sheets are thermally welded to each other by holding and heating the thermally weldable sheets by the heater stand and the heater receiving stand to form a thermally welded part. A packaged part demarcated so as to store an object to be stored by the heat seal is formed. A protective layer harder than the heating element is provided at least on one of a surface in contact with the thermally weldable sheet of the heating element and a surface opposite thereto.
