Ultrasonic welding

Klebo Technics is specialized in ultrasonic welding of thermoplastics. There is a long term cooperation with a manufacturer of ultrasonic welding equipment, based on high-frequency sound technology.

The primary applications are ultrasonic welding of thermoplastics. But ultrasonic welding is also practised as a suitable fastening technique for thermosetting plastics.

Klebo Technics has realized practical applications for:

 

• Packaging systems – the ultrasonic welding of absorberpads in plastic trays for meat, poultry and fish products
• Sustainable energy systems – the ultrasonic welding of plastics for cultivating algae
• Medical devices – for attaching stoma patches
• Drainage technology – an encapsulated metal wire is used for locating drainage systems in the soil

Benefits of ultrasonic welding are:

 

• hardly any heating of the workpieces, so no deformations
• cooling isn’t necessary (= energy savings)
• optimal hygiene (no smoke, vapor and no waste materials), even without ventilation
• suitable for automation of the industrial fastening process
• high performance; often ultrasonic welding occurs within one single second; the workpieces can therefore proceed directly into the mechanical process flow
• a safe welding process, because there is no open fire (combustible and explosive materials can be ultrasonic welded)

Summary: ultrasonic welding is a suitable alternative for well-known fastening technique as screwing, glueing or clicking. ?
