Rotary
Ultrasonic Processing Technology
Aurizon's rotary ultrasonic processing technology offers an alternative to compression,
thermal, and adhesive bonding systems as well as other types of existing ultrasonic
technologies used in many converting processes.
Our state-of-the-art rotary technology maintains unmatched precision processing
without contact, delivering high-speed bonding or cutting while virtually eliminating
wear and tear on the equipment. By utilizing patented dual-mounted horn and anvil
designs as well as a comprehensive systems approach, this technology delivers high
amplitude radial expansion to create rapid compression of materials passing through
an in-running nip. The cross-direction uniformity of this radial expansion assures
that the effect on the materials across the width of the processing region is consistent.
Cantilevered versions of this technology are also available and offer a somewhat
smaller manufacturing footprint. The more open design of these cantilevered systems
can be more easily implemented in certain processing applications where large or
bulky products are involved.
Aurizon's rotary ultrasonic technology can impact and improve a variety of market
and process applications, including:
- Personal care/hygiene converting
- Healthcare product manufacturing
- Food or consumer product packaging
- Embossing
- Die cutting
Potential Benefits:
- Substantial productivity increases
- Reduced raw material usage (e.g., no adhesives)
- Decreased equipment maintenance
- Lower cost processing vs. existing technologies
- Bonding non-conventional materials (e.g., polylactic acid films)
- Simultaneous processing (e.g., bonding and cutting)
- Eliminate unwanted process contamination (e.g., adhesives)
