Abstract
A continuous motion induction sealer rotary die and vacuum conveyor operates by pulling film thorough a rotary die assembly comprising a die and anvil geared together to rotate against each other cutting film patches from the film and securing them to the anvil surface via a vacuum pressure. The anvil then continues rotating to deposit the film patches onto a vacuum conveyor releasing the anvil vacuum to facilitate the transfer. The vacuum conveyor then conveys the film patches to an induction seal head and directs air pressure under the patch to transfer it to the induction seal head which secures the film patch via vacuum pressure while transferring and sealing the film patch to a container.
Claims15
A sealing machine comprising;
- A rotary die assembly;
- and
- an anvil;
- wherein the anvil employs vacuum pressure to remove cut material from the rotatable die assembly
A sealing machine comprising;
- A conveyor;
- A die assembly;
- and
- An anvil, wherein the conveyor carries a sheet of material to said die assembly, and the anvil produces a vacuum to transfer material cutouts produced by the die assembly from the die assembly to the anvil.
A conveyor connecting a rotary die assembly and anvil and a sealing head, wherein the conveyor may run at variable speeds so that the speed of the sealing head need not match the speed of the anvil.
