Subminiature button load cell - bag sealer validation application

摘要

When a customer purchases sterilised or other sealed pouches and packaging, tears and partially broken seals are not always apparent and can result in spoilage and an unusable product. In order for the manufacturer or Packaging Plant to mitigate seal failure and ensure seal integrity, verification of the heat sealing force is critical, as over or under applied sealing force can cause premature failure of the seal. In this application by utilising a pair of Futek LLB130 load cells to monitor the force applied to pouch during the pouch sealing process. The manufacturer can monitor and intercept faults, ensuring the integrity of the seal.
