Requirements:

This application required unwinding woven material from a roll, folding it, heat sealing the edges, and cutting the material to form 2” x 4” bags.

Our Solution:

AZCO designed and manufactured a complete system to unwind, fold, heat seal, and cut material into formed bags.

• The material is loaded onto an AZCO brake unwind.
• The unwind with material is placed on its side to allow for plow folding.
• The folding station takes the material and folds it in half.
• A registration eye sees a mark, from which it feeds, seals and cuts.
• The folded material travels through the impulse heat sealing unit and then into a rotary shear knife assembly.
• The roll feeder indexes the material and triggers the rotary knife cuts between the two sealed areas, forming a bag.
• All components are mounted to a common baseplate.
