Quality Engineering

All INSTA machines have a cast-in tubular heating element, the most reliable even heating source available. The temperature control sensor is located as close to the heating surface as possible to ensure accurate temperature sensing. Platens are cast and heat-treated. The printing surface is tested for ultimate flatness. INSTA coats the upper heating platen with Teflon for easy cleaning. The lower platen is covered with the finest silicone sponge rubber for superior applications. All these features come housed in a heat-treated aluminum casting for strength and durability. The painted finish is baked enamel, which keeps the machine looking as good as the products it seals. Quality parts and construction from the inside out – INSTA's machines are the ones you can depend on.


Safety

INSTA manufactures ten manual and automatic (pneumatic) models available in 120-volt and 240-volt systems. All INSTA machines proudly carry approvals for quality and safety from agencies such as UL in the Unites States, CuL in Canada and CE in Europe. These certifications assurance customers that they are purchasing machines that meet the highest standards.

INSTA pioneered the swing-away heat platen, which prevents direct exposure to the heating element. During application, a safety latch on manually operated machines keeps the handle in place. INSTA's automatic models incorporate a two-hand switch operation, anti-tiedown devices, breakaway platens and disengage switches for additional safety.
