Hi I'm working on a bag in bag machine I have come to the last section on the machine witch is closing the bag. At the moment I'm using 2 resistance on the bottom and 2 on the top to melt and close the bag. The resistances are enclosed with an aluminum part and covered with Teflon to keep the bag from sticking to the aluminum.
The problem I'm facing is that the I don't get a constant temperature on the heating area and because of this my bag opens or melts on some parts. I have seen machines using a copper wire (5mm width) to a temperature and then closing the bag with it. Have anyone got any experience which way is better?
The bags a thin LDPE and at the moment I need 150 degrees c and a closing time of 400ms.
Thanks in advance
