“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.”

POLYMER SEALING DEVICE (PSD)
PSD Hot and Cold Seal Jaws are designed to correct standard seal film industry issues. For packaging that requires heat sealing, LAKO TOOL has developed a hot seal polymer to withstand 300°F (150°C). This provides superior sealing versus other heat sealing processes and provides many benefits.
-
Improved seal strength, even with lighter gauge film
-
Seals through wrinkles, channel leakers, and transition areas around the fin seal while reducing or eliminating seal fractures
-
Eliminates metal-to-metal contact that reduces time-consuming machine wear
-
Enables consistent sealing without ongoing quality control adjustments for minor film variations
-
LAKO's hot polymer PSD inserts can be replaced in minutes, without disturbing settings for knives and anvils or causing downtime
-
Re-stocking program available to avoid downtime
UNIVERSAL ADAPTISEAL™ DEVICE (UAD)
LAKO’s new hot polymer developed to run heat seal and cold seal film while adapting to various film thickness without the need to make machine adjustments.
The AdaptiSeal™ is essential for continuous high-end flexible package seal performance on horizontal form fill seal (HFFS) machinery.
​
-
No machine adjustments necessary
-
Adapts to varying film thicknesses
-
Works with multiple layers
-
Heats up to 400°F (204.4°C)
