Sealing Technology for Sustainable Packaging
The sealing station developed by Theegarten-Pactec is located directly after the actual fold wrapping station. As soon as a product has reached the sealing station, the sealing tool moves to the product to be sealed at a distance of 0.5 mm to 1 mm. Negative pressure then causes the package to be sucked onto the sealing stamp.
In this way, there is no contact between the packaging material and the product during the sealing, which ensures that there are no pressure marks or other damage to the product. After sealing, the packaging material detaches from the sealing station and once again rests directly on the product which has now been completely packed. The sealing seam only comes into contact with the product again after it has sufficiently cooled.
This innovation offers numerous advantages: e.g., material can be reduced by eliminating the need for an additional aluminium laminate to dissipate heat and protect the chocolate or there is no need for a gluing device for product closure.
