LAVA V.400P 3-Fold Sealing Tape

The Correct Tape for the V.400P

The V.400P is a commercial machine that seals with a triple seam. Three parallel welds give the strongest, most secure seal LAVA makes, and that triple seam needs this 3-fold glass-fibre sealing tape.

3-Fold

Triple Seam Tape

Built for the V.400P triple seal bar and its three parallel welds.

Commercial

High-Volume Use

Suited to busy sealing runs where clean release and secure seals matter.

No Tools

Fast Replacement

Release the holders, replace the strip, and refit the holders.

Match the Tape to the Seam Type

The V.400P takes this 3-fold tape. Double-seam machines take the 2-fold tape, and single-seam machines take the 1-fold tape.

Why the Correct Tape Matters

Fitting the right tape gives a clean, even weld across all three seams and helps the bag film release properly from the hot seal bar.

Why Triple Seam Matters

Three parallel welds give extra sealing confidence when packing high volumes or products that must not lose their seal.

When to Replace the Strip

Bags Stick

Bag film catches or sticks to the bar after welding.

Seals Turn Messy

Welds look uneven, incomplete, rough, or less consistent.

Tape Looks Worn

Browning, fraying, residue buildup, or visible scorching means it is due.

Tool-Free Replacement

Disconnect, release holders, replace strip, refit holders

Disconnect the Machine

Switch off and disconnect the V.400P before working around the seal bar.

Release the Holders

Release the holders at each end of the existing tape.

Remove the Old Strip

Peel the old tape away from the triple seam seal bar.

Lay the New 3-Fold Tape

Position the new strip neatly along the bar.

Refit the Holders

Secure the strip in place and clean sealing returns.

Important for Busy Commercial Use

Like all seal-bar tape, this is a wear part. On a high-volume commercial machine, it earns its keep faster because it takes heat on every seal. Replacing it restores clean release and better-looking welds.

Best For

LAVA V.400P owners whose seals have started sticking or coming out messy, or who want a spare strip on hand for a busy commercial machine.

Fits

Fits the LAVA V.400P only. For other models, see the Sealing Tape range.

3-Fold-Seam V.400P Tape — Common Questions

Which machine is this for?

The LAVA V.400P, a commercial machine that makes a triple seal seam and therefore takes the 3-fold tape. Double-seam machines take the 2-fold tape and single-seam machines the 1-fold, so match the tape to your model.

What does the triple seam do?

It welds three parallel seals on each bag, the strongest, most secure seal in the LAVA range. It suits high-volume use and products where a failed seal is not an option. The 3-fold tape covers the bar for all three seams.

How do I know the tape needs replacing?

Bags start sticking to the seal bar, seals come out messy or incomplete, or the tape looks browned, frayed, or scorched. On a busy commercial machine this happens sooner, so keep an eye on it. A fresh strip restores a clean seal.

Is it hard to fit?

No, and no tools are needed. Disconnect the machine, release the holders at each end, peel off the old tape, lay the new strip along the bar, and refit the holders.

Should I keep a spare?

Yes, especially for commercial use. The tape wears faster the more you seal, so a spare strip on hand means no downtime mid-shift when it needs changing.
