“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.”

Seal Profiles
10 Pitch
Recommended for films with thicknesses between 0.0020” and 0.0040”
12 Pitch
Our standard pitch for rotary jaws to cover various films and applications
Recommended for films with thicknesses between 0.0012” and 0.0028”
14 Pitch
Fine pitch
Generally produces seals with -good visual properties
Recommended for films with thicknesses between 0.0007” and 0.0020”
8 Pitch with Truncated Teeth
Relatively aggressive
Can be used for thicker films than typical 8-pitch profiles
Aggressive 8 Pitch with Truncated Teeth
Good for hard-to-seal films
Reduced chance of fracture compared to similarly aggressive profiles
0.188” Pitch with Truncated Teeth
Commonly used for thick and hard-to-seal films
Performs better when used with more durable films
2.5mm Pitch
Commonly used metric profile
Recommended for films with thicknesses between 0.0022” and 0.0050”
1.5mm Pitch
Similar to a form typically used on Fin Wheels
-Recommended for very thin films
