Packaging Automation converted a machine designed and built to handle liquids so it could cope with a dry product.
It is one of a number of specially designed machines from Packaging Automation that are said to be suitable for packing a range of components and supplies for the medical industry, offering secure sealing, strict hygiene standards and pack validation.
With seal integrity paramount, the machine is fitted with a direct pressure transducer to record the seal force applied.
Seal parameters can be set and accurately monitored - if the seal force is outside the pre-set parameters the pack is rejected.
A thermal printer is incorporated to provide a comprehensive record of the force applied, seal time, number of packs sealed, temperature and tool code to allow full traceability.
The machine supplied has two stations - one for loading and one for sealing and has an automatic tool identification system, which checks that the correct tool has been fitted.
In addition, the machine offers automatic pressure adjustment from the HMI and has a number of safety features built in to ensure health and safety requirements are met.
As part of Packaging Automation's service and support, customers can make use of the company's fully-equipped test facilities to carry out development work with packaging materials and to develop concepts, as well as for testing and performance trials.
