Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for heat sealing plastic packaging. In various embodiments, the disclosure provides a sealing system including a heater block with one or more coupling mechanisms for removable attachment to a silicone shoe. The silicone shoe includes a metal plate coated with or otherwise attached to a mineral-loaded silicone layer, which provides thermal conductivity. The sealing system can be attached to a conventional sealing assembly such that the silicone layer faces a direction toward lids over plastic packages. The silicone layer has a sealing surface which provides heat and pressure to the lids over the plastic packages thereby sealing the lids to the plastic packages. Due to the coupling mechanism, a degraded silicone shoe can be easily detached and replaced with a new silicone shoe.
