Sustainability

With our ultrasonic sealing technology, you can enhance the sustainability of your packaging process automatically while simultaneously reducing costs by:

Reducing waste 
 

Ultrasonics effectively displaces contamination from the seam area and ensures that the packaging seal is completely tight, regardless of the contents.

A packer of moist, chunky pet food successfully reduced waste by 4.4 tons per day! Our technology increases efficiency and prevents valuable food from being wasted.

Minimizing packaging material 
 

An ultrasonic seam is narrower than a heat-sealed seam, as there is no risk of contamination in the seam area.

This means you can reduce the size of the packaging and save on material while keeping the contents the same, resulting in less plastic waste.

Reducing energy consumption 
 

Ultrasonics is immediately ready for use, as there is no need to preheat the equipment.

Energy is only consumed during the brief sealing process. You can save up to 75% of the total energy! This reduces not only your costs but also your carbon footprint.

What do elephants have to do with cat food?

A customer packs moist, chunky cat food in a stand-up pouch. This repeatedly resulted in defective packaging that had to be disposed of. By switching to our reliable sealing technology, the number of leaking packs was able to be reduced from 0.05 % to 0.001 %.

That might not sound like much, but it’s actually quite substantial: every day, more than 4.4 tons of cat food are saved from disposal – equivalent to the weight of a full-grown elephant.

Application

Ultrasonic sealing is suitable for a wide range of applications.

Valuable for different applications

The longitudinal seal on a pillow bag, the top seal or the cap seal on carton or sealing of chain bags, ultrasonic sealing technology provides solutions for a wide range of packaging applications to make your sealing process faster, safer and more sustainable.

Ultrasonic sealing offers solutions to meet the demands of the future

Legal regulation for packaging

Whether you are looking to limit overpackaging, increase the product-specific recyclate usage rate, or replace multilayer packaging with new monomaterials, ultrasonic sealing offers a future-proof solution to meet your packaging needs.

EU-wide standards for over-packing will define maximum allowed empty space in packaging and ban certain forms of unnecessary packaging. The Ultrasonic technology allows to minimize the sealing area and as a result reduces unnecessary packaging space.

In the future an increased use of recycled plastics in packaging material is mandatory to meet the legal regulations and to decrease the use of virgin materials.

In order to meet future packaging recycling rates monomeric materials will become more and more a standard for packaging material. As monomeric material is quite sensible towards heat Ultrasonic offers here the right technology for a tight and reliable sealing process.

Technology

How ultrasonic sealing works

 

In ultrasonic welding, melt is created in the packaging material itself by introducing mechanical vibrations into the packaging material using a sonotrode. These vibrations generate friction between the molecular chains and the interfaces of the packaging material layers, resulting in localized melting. The use of cold ultrasonic tools enables rapid cooling, allowing for immediate loading of the produced seam. This minimizes the thermal load on the materials and the packaged goods.
