Abstract
A sealing system with a guide that guides a pair of layers and heating rollers that apply heat and pressure to an edge of the layers for sealing the layers to each other, the heating rollers movable along the edge. Also a method which includes aligning a pair of layers so that a portion of one of the layers is placed in front of a portion of the other layer, defining an edge, applying heat and pressure to the edge of the layers by heating rollers, and moving the heating rollers along the edge of the layers, sealing both layers to each other at the edge, forming a vacuum bag.
Claims9
A sealing system for closing vacuum bags, the sealing system comprising:
- a guide configured to guide a pair of layers that form a vacuum bag;
- and
- heating rollers configured to apply heat and pressure to an edge of the pair of layers for sealing the pair of layers to each other and thereby form the vacuum bag, said heating rollers configured to move along said edge.
A method for closing vacuum bags, the method comprising the steps of:
- aligning a pair of layers so that a portion of one of the layers of the pair of layers is placed in front of a portion of the other layer of the pair of layers and thereby defining an edge;
- applying heat and pressure to said edge of the pair layers by heating rollers;
- and
- moving said heating rollers along the edge of the pair of layers, sealing the pair of layers to each other at said edge and thereby forming a vacuum bag.
