In Nice, ASM has created a fully automated line that manufactures hygienic overshoes for the medical and nuclear sectors, using ultrasonically welded plastic films. It produces one pair per second.
The need: disposable protective equipment in very large quantities
The medical and nuclear industries impose strict hygiene and protection requirements, and the client had to produce these overshoes at a high rate.
The solution: continuous ultrasonic shaping and welding
• Shaping the slippers in PE and PP films
• Assembly by ultrasonic welding
• Insertion and welding of elastic bands
Technical specifications
• Rate: one pair of overshoes per second
• Materials: polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) films
• Technology: ultrasonic welding
