Aftermarket & Upgrades

Clean Seals.
Clean Cuts. Every Time.

Seal & Cut Options upgrade your cross-seal station with integrated heated-wire or rotary-blade cutting — eliminating tailing, whiskers, and the timing offset that causes seal quality variation at high speed.

What Seal & Cut Options Do

One jaw stroke. Perfect seal and cut.

Four engineering decisions that eliminate tailing, whiskers, and seal quality variation.

2

Cut method options

Heated Wire & Rotary Blade Options

Choose from a heated wire cutter for clean thermal separation on standard PE film, or a servo-driven rotary blade for precision mechanical cutting on laminated and compostable films. Both mount to the same jaw assembly.

0

Tail & whisker defects

Integrated Seal-and-Cut Jaw

The seal and cut functions share a single jaw stroke — the film is sealed and severed in one motion with no re-index. This eliminates the timing offset that causes tailing and whisker formation on standard two-step systems.

Auto

Film profile selection

Auto Film-Type Detection

An onboard film sensor identifies film type and thickness at startup and auto-selects the correct temperature and pressure profile. Operators switching between PE and compostable film no longer need to manually re-enter parameters.

< 90s

Blade changeover time

Tool-Free Blade Swap

Quick-release blade cartridges change in under 90 seconds without tools. Blade life tracking on the HMI triggers a change alert before quality is affected — no more reactive blade changes after defects appear on line.
