JR Maruani have developed a new four sided seal pouching machine for alginate dressing manufacture. The packaging system is fed by alginate non woven as a reel stock. The dressing material is first cut into strips and then folded ready for packaging. The folded dressing is delivered into the poucher, in synchronisation with packaging webs from reel-stock and the medical pouch is sealed around the dressing. Packages are then cut into units and collated for boxing.

All operating parameters are fully adjustable and validation services are provided by MET. Also, printing of batch or marketing information onto pouches is available as an option. The system can run at up to 150 cycles per minute. A video showing the equipment in action is available on request.
