Bosch packaging technology and amcor have partnered to develop zipspeed, a material designed to run on bosch&rsquos sve 2520dz vertical doy zip bag machine and to accelerate production and boost product appeal. The company claims sve 2520dz machine as the fastest doy zip vertical bagger on the market. In order to provide its customers the full speed potential of the machine, bosch chose to partner with amcor to develop the optimal material to match the machine&rsquos performance.
Zipspeed, a petpe laminate that is easy to run, offers excellent seal strength and a smoother appearance when applying reclosable zippers. According to joachim pietzsch, r&d director, amcor flexibles&ldquoto maximise performance on the machine, we developed a clever sealing application that eliminates the need to punch holes in order to form and seal the bags.
This creates simplified and faster processing,&rdquo &ldquothe zipspeed seal temperature range is from 100 &ndash 180°c, which allows customers to use lower seal temperatures. At the same time, the material has high heat resistance for the application of recloseable zippers,&rdquo said mr. Pietzsch.
