The company’s new banding-technology reduces packaging material to a minimum, cuts energy consumption by 98 percent compared to shrink-wrapping, replaces plastic with paper, automates packaging and eliminates the need for additional labeling. Also, with ultrasonic banding, you already meet the goals of the EU packaging and labeling regulations that will soon come into force.
So here are five good reasons why now is the right time to take a closer look at the benefits of ATS‘ Ultrasonic Sealing Technology:
1. High energy costs: Ultrasonic banding machines reduce energy consumption by up to 98 percent compared to shrink wrapping machines.
Ultrasonic welding delivers energy directly to the materials being sealed, rather than transferring it in the form of heat energy. Ultrasonic welding of banding films and coated paper bands uses ultrasonic waves with frequencies of approx. 40 kHz. The vibrations are introduced into the bands by a sonotrode. Frictional heat is generated, which leads to melting. Under additional pressure, the ends of the bands are joined together. This is why an ultrasonic banding machine consumes about 98 percent less energy when bundling products compared to a standard shrink wrapping machine.
2. The revision of EU legislation on packaging and packaging waste: Banding complies with all new packaging and labeling goals.
The revision of the EU legislation on packaging and packaging waste has three main objectives.
ATS Banding supports them all.
- Prevent packaging waste from being generated in the first place by reducing the amount, limiting unnecessary packaging and promoting reusable and refillable packaging solutions.
- Promote a high-quality closed-loop recycling system by ensuring that all packaging on the EU market can be economically recycled by 2030.
- Reduce the need for primary raw materials and create a well-functioning market for secondary raw materials by increasing the share of recycled plastics in packaging materials through binding targets.
3. Shortage of skilled employees: Banding significantly increases efficiency and automates manual work steps.
Banding not only minimises packaging material when bundling and labeling products, but also supports the automation of processes along the entire value-chain. Banding can increase the efficiency of processes in many ways. We have proven automation solutions for, the food industry, fresh fruit and vegetables, logistics, the printing industry, corrugated cardboard industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and many more.
4. Your sustainability goals: Banding can help reduce your environmental footprint in many different ways.
ATS can help you achieve your sustainability goals. Banding can help you reduce your environmental footprint in many different ways. From minimising packaging material to replacing plastic with paper packaging to using the most energy-efficient packaging machines on the market.
5. New machine generation: The successor to the world's best-selling banding machine is the most reliable, user-friendly and sophisticated banding machine that ATS have ever built.
The ambition: To exceed expectations. The new ultrasonic banding machine from ATS sets many new standards. The successor to the world's best-selling banding machine combines the best of more than 30 years of mechanical engineering experience with state-of-the-art technology. This makes it the most reliable, user-friendly and sophisticated banding machine that ATS have built.
