A
pouch sealer checks all key set-point constituents for good scientific validation.
The Model MS-350 from Van der Stähl Scientific Inc. (Wrightwood, CA, USA)
monitors temperature at the heat platen to ensure that temperature tolerances
are within the setpoint range. The unit does not rely on air pressure and can
deliver constant repeatable pressure with a robust electronic solenoid, despite
possible fluctuations in the facility's air supply system.
A menu-driven Hitachi microprocessor makes sure that dynamic pressure is applied to the pouch and constantly monitors the servo's pressure at the seal bar. The unit can also be set to an autocycle mode, which allows the machine to be set in tenth-of-a-second increments up to 5 seconds for automatic cycling.
Because the sealer does not use a pneumatic driven pressure bar, no air is required, just a 110-V receptacle. The machine features a 10-mm seal width and is 350 mm long.
