Presair’s pneumatic foot pedal and air switch system provides clean, hands-free control for heat sealers used in packaging and cleanroom environments. This system removes electricity from the operator’s control zone, improving safety and reducing failure points.

Pneumatic Foot Pedal for Heat Sealer Applications
Impulse and vacuum sealers require precise activation and reliable components. Electrical foot switches can create contamination risks or fail in moisture-prone environments. A pneumatic foot pedal for a heat sealer solves these issues by sending an air signal through tubing to a sealed air switch inside the machine. The result is repeatable, isolated actuation without electrical contact at the control point.
Presair Components Used with Accu-Seal Equipment
Presair’s solution includes the B350BA-10FT soft foot pedal and the TVM111K panel-mount air switch. When the operator steps on the pedal, it sends a pulse of air through tubing to the air switch. The TVM111K responds by closing the control circuit, starting the seal or vacuum cycle. This air-actuated method reduces electrical wear and prevents electrostatic discharge at the operator interface.

Installed in AmeriVacs and Accu-Seal Heat Sealers
Presair components support AmeriVacs AVP and other Accu-Seal heat sealers. Install the TVM111K inside the sealer’s control panel and place the B350BA-10FT pedal near the operator’s work area. Tubing connects the two. Pressing the pedal sends air to the switch, starting the sealing cycle. Lifting the pedal releases the signal, ending the cycle.
This system provides consistent, safe activation without exposed wiring, making it suitable for cleanroom and washdown environments.
Advantages of Pneumatic Foot Pedals for Heat Sealers
