Flexi-Free HS high-speed laminate films can be used in high-speed form-fill-seal machines where increased speed is critical to throughput efficiencies. The films heat seal at temperatures 40 degrees lower than standard laminate materials, allowing the machine operator to shorten dwell times and increase machine speed. Pouch-making speeds can typically be increased 20% or more on high-speed, horizontal form-fill-seal machines, creating greater operational efficiency. Additionally, Flexi-Free HS provides a low-temperature solution for heat-sensitive products.

Compact IonRinse system incorporates powerful AC ionization, a custom designed airflow distributor and high quality inline filtration. During operation the high-velocity, filtered ionized air exits the IonRinse head unit via the airflow distributor and enters the container. The precisely controlled airflow works in combination with the neutralization of static charges, which breaks any static bond holding contamination to the inner surface. The released contamination is caught immediately by the vacuum airflow and extracted to the in-line filter unit. The HEPA filtration system provides extremely effective filtration, capturing 99.99% of particles at 0.3 microns.
