Abstract
A method of forming dual layer water soluble packets includes drawing a base film into a cavity of a mold, drawing air through openings in the base film, metering an amount of a first product of a first color onto the base film in the cavity, metering an amount of a second product of a second color onto the amount of the first product, and, scaling a lid film to the base film.
Claims20
A system to form dual layer water soluble packets, the system comprising
- a plurality of cavities operatively engaged to a motor for moving the cavities, wherein each of the cavities includes a vacuum opening that is in fluidic communication with a vacuum passage;
- a base film supply roll configured to supply a base film to cover the plurality of cavities;
- a laser configured to form openings in the base film;
- a vacuum source configured to draws a vacuum through the vacuum passage and draw air through the openings;
- at least one product feeder configured to meter an amount of a product into the plurality of cavities over the base film;
- and
- a lid film supply roll configured to supply a lid film to the cavities.
