imPULSE R

Impulse welder for bag packaging

imPULSE R is a pneumatic impulse welder with double-sided heating and a rotating head. It produces single and double welds in bag packaging made from thermoplastic materials.

  • weld length: 800–1200 mm, depending on the model
  • heating element width: 3–12 mm, depending on the configuration
  • 304 or 316 stainless-steel construction
  • configurations for validated processes and cleanrooms
  • rotating welding head
Machine Description

Double-sided heating and cooling under pressure

In the imPULSE R impulse welder, the package is clamped between two bars that heat the material simultaneously from both sides. This solution ensures even heat distribution and produces a durable weld even in areas with several layers of film. After heating, the bars maintain pressure during cooling, allowing the joint to stabilise correctly.

The temperatures of the upper and lower bars can be adjusted independently. Welding time, cooling time and pressure are selected for the type of packaging and saved as a recipe. The machine also features a rotating welding head, allowing the position of the welding assembly to be adapted to the workstation layout and the way packages are fed.

Process control for demanding production environments

In medical, pharmaceutical and food production, it is important to maintain the specified parameters from one package to the next. imPULSE R monitors temperature, pressure, welding time and cooling time during every cycle. The WCS™ system checks whether the values remain within the tolerances stored in the recipe and warns the operator of a potential nonconformity.

Cycle data can be archived, and access to settings can be restricted according to user permissions. The machine can also be supplied with calibrated sensors and the documentation needed to prepare a validated process. The scope of these items is defined for each specific configuration.

Key benefits of imPULSE R

  1. Repeatable welding conditions
    Parameters are saved in recipes and monitored during the cycle.
  2. Production documentation
    Cycle data recording, user access levels and integration options support processes with elevated requirements.
  3. Configuration for different packages
    Various weld lengths and widths, single or double welds, and material cutting are available.
  4. Designed for demanding environments
    304 or 316 stainless steel, an IP54 rating as standard, and the option of a configuration prepared for cleanrooms.
  5. Convenient operation
    A 7-inch HMI and the ability to adapt the workstation to the operator.
  6. Adaptable to the package and workstation
    A rotating head, various weld lengths and widths, and the option of producing single or double welds.

Other features and equipment

  • independent temperature control of the upper and lower bars up to 200°C
  • bar preheating to shorten cycle times and stabilise welding conditions
  • separate pressure values for welding and cooling, set and saved in the recipe
  • export of cycle data to a USB drive
  • optional integration with the company system
  • double weld: an arrangement with two heating elements on each bar
  • mechanical cutting: a manual or pneumatic sliding knife for removing excess film
  • thermal cutting: an optional resistance wire mounted on the welding bar

Optional systems

  • Vacuum and Flush™ – a system for extracting air and dispensing inert gas
  • vacuum and gas control – simultaneous or separate operation
  • ZTG iCOM™ – a remote diagnostics and service support system
  • external extraction – available for configurations intended for cleanrooms

Workstation configuration

  • benchtop version or stainless-steel frame
  • optional electric height adjustment
  • adjustable welding-bar angle
  • package support shelf and locking castors
Applications

Welding bag packaging in demanding production processes

imPULSE R is ideal where the packaging process requires welding parameters to be matched to the material, monitored and documented.

  • welding bag packaging for medical devices and pharmaceutical products
  • packing food products in bags made from thermoplastic materials
  • processes requiring a single or double weld
  • production requiring welding parameters to be documented
  • operation in cleanrooms after the configuration has been suitably prepared
  • packaging with air extraction or inert-gas dispensing
  • welding thin and delicate films

Machine selection should take into account the packaging material and dimensions, weld requirements and the expected method of process control.

Technical Service

Service and technical support

When purchasing a Zemat machine, customers also gain direct access to the team that knows its design, configuration and welding process. Zemat machines are supported by our own technical service team, so there is no need to rely on third-party providers or explain the machine and process from the beginning.

We support customers during installation and commissioning, train operators and maintenance teams, and provide technical service worldwide. In many cases, issues can also be diagnosed and resolved remotely by checking machine settings, recipes, process parameters or system messages without waiting for an on-site service visit.

  • Direct access to Zemat technical service
  • Faster diagnostics and reduced downtime
  • Support from specialists familiar with the specific machine and process
  • Installation, commissioning and service support worldwide
  • Training for operators and maintenance teams
  • Remote support for settings, recipes and process parameters
