“I am impressed by Lako’s continuous dedication to research and design for customer-specific applications. I presented Lako with the opportunity to help my company find a mechanical solution to an industry-wide problem — air retention in gusseted bags that are packed lying down in the case. They researched and designed four specific jaw serration patterns to test in the lab with different film structures, temperatures, sealing times and pressures to identify the optimal jaw set. Although this was not implemented due to a different business priority, it was a thorough feasibility study.”

SELLADO POR ULTRASONIDO
SELLADO POR ULTRASONIDO PARA ENVASADORAS VERTICALES
Consumer Packaged Goods companies (CPGs) and copackers have been confronted with the reality that consumer expectations are changing fast. ​​Our modernization program can get you the performance capability you need from your existing platform at a fraction of the cost of a new machine. ​Recyclable and compostable material structures can be tough to seal utilizing traditional thermal methods. Ultrasonics has proven to be a very effective method to overcome this challenge. ​​
ADVANTAGES OF MODERNIZATION
-
Ability to seal hard-to-seal materials like coated paper, compostable and recyclable materials.​
-
Seal through contaminates in seal zone reducing or eliminating leakers.​
-
Better seal quality reducing leakers. Ability to monitor seal quality and cull bad seals.​
-
Eliminate negative heat effects on sensitive product like confectionary and pharmaceutical products.​
-
Higher speed sealing improving machine throughput.​
-
Digitally controlled intelligent process. Ethernet IP or Modbus standard with other protocols available.
-
Possible film reduction cost savings. Possibility of reduced seal size as well as different film construction as heat seal layers no longer required.​
-
Energy conservation through reduced power consumption. Up to 75% reduction over heat.​
-
Minimize start-up and shut-down times as there is no waiting for heaters to heat up and cool down.​
-
Minimize wasted product at start-up and shut-down by ramping power with speed maintaining seal integrity.​
-
Improve operator safety with no hot components.
-
Extremely robust designs. Set it and forget it.​
-
Conserve valuable floor space by utilizing existing machinery envelop.​
-
Save cost on installation as you are using existing utility drops.
