Modular stand-alone ultrasonic sealing system

A modular stand-alone ultrasonic bag sealing system comprising:

• a) an ultrasonic sealer assembly comprising:
• i) a sonotrode;
• ii) an anvil;
• iii) an actuator to actuate at least one of the sonotrode or the anvil to press the sonotrode and the anvil together to form a bag seal in a bag configured therebetween;
• iv) a pressure sensor to measure a measured pressure reached when the sonotrode and the anvil are pressed together to form said bag seal;
• b) a control system comprising;
• i) a computer;
• ii) a control software;
• wherein the control software is configured to control the ultrasonic sealer assembly and wherein the measured pressure is recorded;
• wherein the control system has a signal output that provides an output signal to an auxiliary machine;
• and
• wherein the auxiliary machine is a product dispenser and wherein a product is dispensed into the bag when the product dispenser receives said output signal from the signal output.
