Hot Tack Testing for Optimizing Production Efficiency in Form-Fill-Seal Lines - 1

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Hot Tack Testing for Optimizing Production Efficiency in Form-Fill-Seal Lines Hot tack testing plays an important role in selecting optimal hot sealing parameters for Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) lines. Hot tack refers to the initial seal strength of packaging materials immediately after heat sealing, before they cool down. It is crucial for FFS lines where product filling follows hot sealing with minimal cooling time. FFS lines are widely used in packaging industries for products like food, medicine, and cosmetics. In these lines, packages are formed and filled simultaneously. Since the filling process creates an impact on the package bottom, sufficient hot tack strength is essential to prevent breakage and ensure filling efficiency. While ultimate seal strength, measured after cooling, is a valuable quality metric, it's not applicable in FFS due to the short time frame. A case study is presented hereunder, Labthink C632B Hot Tack Tester was used to evaluate two film materials (A and B) for an East Asian food producer. Both films had similar performance parameters, but the goal was to select the material that would optimize the FFS line's efficiency. The client's requirements specified a maximum sealing temperature of 133°C and a minimum hot tack strength of 2N. Other sealing parameters like sealing pressure and film side for sealing were fixed.

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Labthink C632B Hot Tack Tester is applicable in hot tack and heat seal performance tests for plastic films, laminated films and other packaging materials. It is applicable in peel test, tensile at break test, and other tests for adhesives, adhesive tapes, laminated films, plastic films, paper and other flexible materials. The test results revealed that both films exhibited an optimal hot sealing temperature around which hot tack strength decreased. Film A achieved the client's minimum hot tack requirement only at higher...
