What is ultrasonic package sealing?
Ultrasonic package sealing occurs when high frequency (ultrasonic)
mechanical energy is transferred into two or more layers of
thermoplastic materials. A strong, reliable molecular bond is formed
between the layers.
Nearly all packaging materials and laminates, with a thermoplastic
sealing layer or coating, are suitable for the ultrasonic sealing
(welding) process. Both hermetic and peelable seals can be achieved with
ultrasonic sealing systems.
Dukane has developed an advanced ultrasonic sealing solution. It
consists of a patented - 100% digitally controlled - ultrasonic power
supply and an optimized acoustical stack [transducer
(converter)/booster/horn (sonotrode)/anvil.
The stack components apply clamping force to the sealing area. At the
same time, ultrasonic energy generates localized frictional heat sealing
the packaging materials.
The ultrasonic sealing solution is ideal for these processes and
applications:
- Pouch sealing
- Re-sealable zipper closures
- Form-fill seal bags – vertical and horizontal configurations
- Cartons
- Pour spouts on gable top cartons
- Blister packs
- Clam shell packs
- Cups/trays
- Tube seal
- Fitments on pouches
What are the advantages of ultrasonic sealing?
- Short Cycle Times = Increased Though-put
- Low energy consumption
- Clean and simple to maintain
- Ultrasonics can seal through remnants like drops of liquid, or small
amounts of powder or fibrous material that may be in the seal zone
- Ultrasonic process does not require adhesives and/or solvents
- Reduced costs –
- Less energy required than traditional heat sealers.
- Narrower weld seams are possible thus saving packaging material
