Medical Packaging

The Veroflow four-sided seal machine employs many of the standard principles of the pillow pack continuous motion machine. The main difference is that reels of materials are used, one mounted above and one below the product infeed.Both webbs pass over separate tension arms, which operate the respective reel brakes. The product is fed at the correct pitch between the two webbs, which are drawn from the reels by two sets of rollers in tandem. Each set consists of two rollers; one upper and one lower at both edges of the web.The rollers may be steel to steel which produce serrated seals, or silicone rubber to steel to provide smooth seals, depending on product requirements. The first set of rollers is heated and seals both edges of the web. They are automatically parted pneumatically when the machine stops to prevent heat damage to the webs. Where the installation uses rubber to steel rollers only the bottom.
