Packaging Industry and Food
When it comes to packaging for manufacturing, the focus is on cost-effectiveness and safety. Hygiene and product protection are especially crucial for grocery packaging such as tea bags, coffee pods, tubes and beverage cartons. However, it is equally important to ensure maximum precision, high cycle rates and minimum downtimes in the production process.
Our MS sonxSYS ultrasonic systems meet all these requirements: perfectly tight seals even in case of product residue/contamination in the seam area for long-lasting, well protected products. Packaging materials and laminates with a thermoplastic sealing layer can also be easily joined or connected with spouts or valves. Even in the presence of product residues, MS sonxSYS ultrasonic systems seal safely, quickly and with consistently high quality.
Ultrasonic technology is also ideal for cutting food, textiles, rubber and other materials. Cutting sonotrodes are used here.
The technology of ultrasonic cutting is based on high-frequency vibrations. These vibrations create rapid movements at the cutting edge of the blade, resulting in a shearing effect that efficiently cuts through a wide variety of materials.

FOIL POUCHES
Sealing of plastic pouches for food, beverages and other products as tubular bags, stand-up pouches and chained bags. Sealing prevents products from leaking out of the pouch and ensures a longer shelf life for the products.
TUBES
Sealing of plastic tubes for toothpaste, creams and other products. Sealing prevents products from leaking out of the tube and ensures hygienic use of products.
CARTON PACKAGING
Sealing of plastic-coated cartons for beverages, food and other products. Sealing ensures safe and hygienic packaging of products.
PLASTIC SPOUTS/ VALVES
Sealing of plastic closures for bottles, cans, coffee packaging and other containers. Sealing ensures a secure and airtight connection between the closure and the container.
CAPSULES
Sealing of coffee capsules and other products. Sealing films onto the capsules ensures optimum aroma and provides maximum product protection.
FOOD
When cutting food products such as cakes, confectionery and cheese, it is important not to deform or squeeze the product during the cutting process. Ultrasonic cutting is particularly suitable for this purpose. Whether transverse or longitudinal cuts, the ultrasonic tools can be individually adapted to the cutting process, so that every possible cutting geometry is possible.
Cutting cakes – Coppenrath & Wiese relies on ultrasonic technology from MS
| Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese KG is the European market leader in frozen cakes, tarts and baked goods and employs more than 2,600 people in Germany (2018). The company has been part of the Oetker Group since 2015. After baking, the cakes are portioned by ultrasonic cutting technology. The ultrasonic knives (sonotrodes) are excited with a frequency of 20,000 Hz – with this dynamic, the cutting resistance is reduced, the cut is cleaner and the knife is self-cleaning.
