Packing pasta with ultrasonics

Altopack_Webseite_01.jpg
Spaghetti is typically packed in horizontal packaging machines. It is becoming ever more common for pasta to be cut into equal lengths and pre-proportioned with ultrasonic sonotrodes after it has been dried. In the next process step it arrives on a conveyor belt and is packed in a tubular bag.

At this station the head and bottom seal of every bag are simultaneously welded with ultrasonics and separated from one another at the bottom by a mechanical knife.
