Avoid Pouch Sealing Disasters - The 9-Steps to Heat Sealing Perfection Step 1 Heat Sealing Configuration. Determine what is expected from the seal. What does one expect from a heat seal? Wide, narrow, shaped, or just seal or seal and cut? Before a satisfactory sealing system can be designed it is necessary to decide what seal configuration is desired. Step 2 Heatseal Ban
What Causes Wrinkles in Heat-Sealed Pouches? Wrinkles in the seal area can cause a package to be rejected. Let's look at somethings that can be done to avoid packaging failures.
Less is More: How Lean Processes can Bolster Profits and Sustainability Medical device manufacturers are just like every other business regarding their desire to maximize profits and sustainability by reducing waste and losses. However, unlike most businesses, medical device manufacturers don’t use specific, proven methodologies to achieve these goals.
Going (Well) Beyond Product Safety Standards Medical manufacturer GCX outlines safety tests that every hospital or medical device manufacturer should conduct before a solution is put into production.

Motor Type Selection Parameters that define a motor type are the mechanical output power, the shaft bearing system, the commutation systemused, and the possible combinations with gearheads and sensors. The most important criteria include the speed andtorque requirements, and the commutation system.
High Efficiency Motors To understand the concept of high efficiency motors, you must first know how to calculate efficiency and the losses associated with the motor components themselves.
Simulation of Radiation Sterilization: Choosing the Best Packing Configuration For cost reduction, it is beneficial to choose a packing configuration that allows for the highest throughput. Typically, the ideal arrangement is found through experimental trial-and-error. In addition to being expensive and time-consuming, such an approach might miss the packing configuration that finds the
Simulation of Radiation Sterilization: Guiding Product Design In a typical product design process, testing to ensure that the sterilization regulations are met is only performed after the product has been fully designed, built, tested, and readied for mass production. There is an inherent risk to this approach: a great deal of effort and resources have been invested in
Simulation of Radiation Sterilization: Selection and Optimization of the Right Source When using radiation sterilization, medical device and pharmaceutical companies are faced with the choiceof gamma, electron-beam, or x-ray sources. But which one to choose? While it may be tempting to go withthe familiar option, each of these techniques has its own benefits that might make it the ideal choice
