About AIE
Who AIE isAmerican International Electric, Inc. (AIE) is a family-owned and operated manufacturer and supplier of plastic bag and film sealing equipment. According to the company, it was founded in 1987 and is based in City of Industry, California. AIE states that its products are manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facilities in Taiwan, and that many items carry U/L and CE approvals.
What they makeAIE's range covers impulse and constant heat sealers, vacuum sealers, continuous band sealers, L-bar and I-bar shrink wrap systems, infrared shrink tunnels and imprinters. Sealers come in foot-operated, tabletop, semi-automatic, pneumatic and vertical formats, with seal widths from round wire to 2 mm, 5 mm and 10 mm, and seal lengths from roughly 8 inches up to 40 inches. The company also maintains an inventory of replacement parts.
Model series buyers search forThe Original Impulse Hand Sealer line is the best-known family, with the AIE-300 (12 inch, 300 mm) as the most popular model. That series also includes the AIE-100T, AIE-200, AIE-400P and AIE-500, with round-wire and cutter variants such as the AIE-300HR and AIE-505C. Foot-operated FL models run from the AIE-300FL up to the AIE-1000FL. The A1 Series adds semi-automatic heavy-duty tabletop units — AIE-300A1, AIE-450A1 and AIE-600A1 — with timer-controlled electromagnet operation, adjustable sealing, congealing and re-cycle timing, and a temperature range of 80°C to 250°C. Other series include the FS, FD, FIT, FC and FDV foot sealers, the FUA, FDA and CA tabletop sealers, the pneumatic FA and AC series, and the VA, GA, VAD and GSD nozzle vacuum sealers.
What to check when buying usedOn an impulse sealer, inspect the sealing bar and the PTFE cover tape for burns, cuts and contamination, since a worn tape causes uneven seals. Check the impulse wire or round wire for flat spots, and confirm the jaw closes squarely with even pressure. On semi-automatic A1 units, test the timer-controlled electromagnet, the foot pedal and the transistorized control board, and verify that sealing time, congealing time and re-cycle knobs still adjust smoothly. Look at the transformer and wiring for heat damage, and check the plug and voltage configuration matches your supply. On foot sealers, examine the pedal linkage and return spring. On band sealers and vacuum models, check the drive belts, sealing bands and vacuum pump.
Parts and supportAIE states that it stocks both equipment and replacement parts, which matters for a used machine: consumables such as PTFE tape, impulse wire and sealing bands are the items you will replace most often. Confirm the model and seal length before ordering parts, because AIE builds the same series in several lengths and widths and offers custom configurations. Because many AIE sealers are simple, mechanically actuated machines, most service work is straightforward for a maintenance technician.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common AIE sealer I will find used?
The AIE-300 is described by AIE as its most popular impulse sealer, a hand-operated unit with a 12 inch (300 mm) sealing length and a 2 mm seal width. It is widely used for polyethylene and polypropylene bags. Larger hand models such as the AIE-400P and AIE-500 use the same basic design in longer lengths.
Can an AIE impulse sealer handle foil or laminated bags?
AIE notes that PE and PP bags seal well on its impulse sealers, but foil-laminated, coated and gusseted bags need constant heat or double impulse heating. For those materials, look at constant heat models such as the AIE-602CH or the CA Series, or the FD Series for double impulse. Matching the sealer type to your bag material matters more than the model number.
What should I inspect on a used AIE sealer before buying?
Check the sealing bar and PTFE cover tape for burns and cuts, and inspect the impulse wire for flat spots. Confirm the jaw closes squarely with even pressure and that the transformer and wiring show no heat damage. On semi-automatic A1 models, test the timer-controlled electromagnet, foot pedal and control board, and verify the sealing, congealing and re-cycle knobs still adjust.
Are parts still available for older AIE sealers?
AIE states that it maintains an inventory of both equipment and replacement parts, and its sealers use common consumables such as PTFE tape, impulse wire and sealing bands. Because the same series is built in several seal lengths and widths, confirm the exact model and length before ordering. Simple mechanical and electrical parts are generally straightforward to source.
Where is AIE equipment made?
AIE is based in City of Industry, California, and states that its products are manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facilities in Taiwan. The company also says many of its items are U/L and CE approved. AIE has supplied sealing equipment since 1987.
What is the difference between AIE hand, foot and A1 tabletop sealers?
Hand sealers such as the AIE-300 are portable and operated by hand, suited to low-volume work. Foot-operated FL models let the operator hold the package with both hands and need no warm-up. The A1 Series is a semi-automatic heavy-duty tabletop line with a timer-controlled electromagnet, adjustable sealing and congealing times, and an 80°C to 250°C temperature range for higher-volume production.
