Branson In-Line Clamshell Packaging System

While the most common method of ultrasonically welding clamshell packages is a manual plunge welding system, which requires a bar horn and specialized fixture, the Branson In-Line Clamshell system provides processors with flexibility and increased processing speed by eliminating the need for manual loading and unloading. Parts are simply scanned through. Adjustments for different configurations are easily made.

Ultrasonics offers immediate startup with no preheating, and is thus a fast, clean, reliable, and energy-efficient alternative to heat and RF sealing. The process seals despite product residue, steam, or vapor, imparts no heat to package contents, seals new and reclaimed materials, and eliminates consumables such as adhesives and staples, and is itself contaminant free.
