dc.description.abstract	This design work provides an alternative to the use of electric heat sealer as well as an improvement on a previously fabricated charcoal powered one. In this present work, coal is use as energy source as well as addressing the phenomena of heat loss and temperature regulation, which were the major constraints of the previous design. A thermostat has been incorporated at the sealing jaw as well as the use of high insulating material to reduce the heat loss to a minimum. This has greatly increase the efficiency of the heat utilization from 45% to 86%.	en_US
