Sonobond Ultrasonics assembles filtration products for Great Lakes Filters

摘要

When Great Lakes Filters, Hillsdale, Ml, needed an assembly method to produce a liquid filter bag that could hold up to hydraulic pressing without splitting or fraying, it chose ultrasonic technology using Sonobond Ultrasonics' SM86 SeamMaster High Profile ultrasonic sewing machine. "The bag has to capture the pulp from the juicing process and then withstand intense compression so that the maximum amount of fruit or vegetable nutrients can be extracted," says Brian K. Balliet, CEO of Great Lakes Filters. "So-nobond's equipment allows us to produce a bag that can do that and meet the customer's exacting standards. It also enables us to fabricate and attach materials that are difficult via traditional cut and sew methods, resulting in higher quality products at lower production cost."
