Whether TV remote controls, print cartridges or children's toys – many of our everyday objects are made of plastic. To bond the parts safely, firmly and (if required) tightly together, they are sealed and joined using ultrasonics.

The use of ultrasonics is very efficient in the nonwovens area: No heat-up phase, no use of adhesives, the cleaning intervals of the machines are reduced. TTypical products from the Business Unit NONWOVENS are surgical masks, diapers, cotton pads or various (feminine) hygiene products. Ultrasonics can be used to join, perforate, emboss or make precise cuts in nonwovens.

The cheese is supposed to stay fresh for as long as possible and the coffee should not lose its aroma in the capsule. Thanks to ultrasonic sealing, food packaging is tightly sealed, and a saving is made on packaging material. This protects the environment, and less food is wasted. We are already researching today the properties of modern, bio-based and biodegradable plastics for packaging.

In the automotive and consumer products industries, the demand for lithium-ion batteries and plug-and-socket connections for cables has increased greatly. Nonferrous metals such as copper and aluminum can be joined together using ultrasonic welding. Highest weld quality: Process visualization and process stability ensure product safety and reproducibility.
