PackworldUSA, a leading manufacturer of precision heat sealing equipment, is proud to announce the release of its Mini C-Frame Press, engineered for precise and efficient port sealing in a variety of applications. This compact press is designed specifically for manufacturing single-use bio-process bags but can be utilized in many other applications. A convenient heat sealing system for plastics and sealable composites, it can be used to create contoured heat seal paths on products which are approximately 3” by 3” by 1-1/2” tall or smaller such as those needed for ports integrated into single-use bio-process bags.
The Mini C-Frame Press excels in sealing various port styles, including boat ports, tube seals, and flange ports. These ports are commonly used in single-use bioprocess bags and flexible packaging applications, requiring a reliable and consistent seal to maintain product integrity and sterility. The press is particularly adept at handling the unique challenges presented by flange ports which may need to be located further into a bag in contrast to boat port or tube port located at a bag edge. The heat sealing press has an 8” reach from the centerline of the heat seal tooling to the back of the press throat.
Composed of a rugged Precision Benchtop Heat seal Press and a Heat seal Control Module, the system offers both safety and precise control of time, temperature, and pressure of the sealing cycle. The control module features a touch screen display and is programmable via easy and logical menu navigation. Several key features include automatic multipoint calibration, recipe storage, user specific access with password protection, data logging capabilities, and the ability to operate in 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. A validation screen in conjunction with ports to measure the critical process parameters of temperature, time, and pressure via independent traceable devices ensure proper machine function which is especially important in validated applications.
Built with Packworld’s precision and designed for validated applications, the Mini C-Frame Press features TOSS Technology, “The Optimum Sealing System,” which uses Variable Resistance Control (VRC) for unmatched temperature management via the PIREG heat seal controller. By applying Ohm’s law to measure current and voltage, it calculates resistance for precise control. A proprietary heat seal band material ensures a predictable resistance curve as the element heats up. Once calibrated, this resistance is directly correlated to temperature, ensuring rapid and accurate temperature regulation. The TOSS PIREG system eliminates inconsistencies found in traditional heat sealers with no temperature feedback or issues associated with thermocouple controlled machines, such as slow read times, installation issues, and degradation, by letting the heating element serve as its own sensor. This advanced
technology ensures precise and repeatable control over time, temperature, and pressure throughout the sealing cycle, delivering optimal results every time.
The Mini C-Frame Press offers adaptability to various applications, including cutting and sealing of contoured shapes, fitment and port sealing, welding film to molded or machined plastic devices, and other custom heat seal platens. It can be equipped with virtually any heat seal configuration to meet specific requirements. The Heat Seal Control Module manages temperature, pressure, and cycle time, ensuring accurate and reliable operation. This press delivers numerous advantages, such as precise and repeatable control, user-friendly operation, and adaptability to diverse applications. Additionally, its open C-Frame design allows for material pass-through capabilities, further enhancing its functionality.
