TOSS Machine Components Highlights PIREG®-545 Panel Mounted Impulse Heat Seal Controller for Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Applications

September 23, 2024

High response and precise control ideal for sealing wide variety of polymeric films 

TOSS Machine Components, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of impulse heat sealing components and supplies, highlights the TOSS PIREG-545 panel mount impulse heat seal controller, specifically built with the high response and precise control needed for sealing the wide variety of polymeric films used in contemporary packaging. The robust PIREG-545 offers precise temperature regulation up to 500˚C and  features programmable control for heat and cool timing, as well as a preheat capability. The controller prevents temperature overshoot, can seal films requiring a cooling phase, and provides decreased time for heating to sealing temperature.

The PIREG-545 impulse heat seal controller offers significant advantages in the medical and pharmaceutical markets. Its quick and precise control offers repeatable and consistent heat seal results critical for processes in need of validation as many life science applications demand. Whether creating sterile barrier systems for packaging or hermetic welds in construction of implantable medical devices, The PIREG-545 enhances quality control and compliance to industry standards. This advanced form of impulse heat sealing control is able to accomplish high quality welds on traditional life science films such as Tyvek, multi-layered films, Nylon, foil laminated films as well as more difficult applications like polyethylene, non-wovens, and high temperature fluoropolymers. 

With a temperature range of 0°- 500°C and voltage ratings of 115 to 400 volts alternating current (VAC), combined with an analog output of the actual temperature for remote display that provides feedback to a programmable logic controller (PLC), the PIREG-545 is ideal for sealing high temp films. For large heat seal bands, the PIREG-545 can be equipped with an optional booster that provides power ratings up to 15 kilovolt-amperes (kVA). Its high response time enables more cycles per minute.

Offering simple operation and control of the sealing process, the PIREG-545 provides repeatable quality of the impulse heat seals under any condition and increased machine capacity, as well as extended heat-sealing band and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating life. 

The PIREG-545 comes equipped with a full set of terminals for connection to a PLC and can be controlled entirely by a PLC, or run in standalone mode for applications operated without a PLC. It includes two programmable relays, which allows programming and connection to such external devices as air cylinder solenoids. Available alarms and error diagnostics can quickly identify and address faults. The digital display ensures easy monitoring and adjustment of sealing parameters.

A wide range of compatible accessories and peripheral devices can be added that enable the PIREG-545 temperature controller to be optimally adapted to each specific heat sealing application and plant design and operating philosophy.
