(APPLETON, WI-USA) –CMD Corporation offers the PDI^® S-Series Shaped Seal Pouch System, which produces surgical peel pouches, retort pouches and barrier pouches in any shape.  The various shapes are achieved through customized dies in a unique platen design which promotes even heat and pressure distribution. The PDI^® shaped seal pouch system features revolutionary servo, linear actuation sealing which results in highly repeatable quality at speeds up to 220 cycles per minute.  This patent-pending technology reduces mechanical components and increases speed and reliability. 

The PDI® Shaped Seal Pouch System is controlled by an Allen-Bradley^tm controls platform, including a ControlLogix PLC, Kinetix servo system and color, Panelview touch screen. It is also Ethernet equipped for better line diagnostics and, with optional phone modem, remote, long-distance programming. 

The unwind accommodates two parent rolls for mixed-material pouches and is designed for precise edge guiding and web tensioning. The integral dancer and capstan section is moved as one unit to adjust the material edge position, thus saving many feet of material in the dancer.  Proximity sensors read the unwinding rolls and keep each web at optimum tension for consistent pouch quality.
