“I am impressed by Lako’s continuous dedication to research and design for customer-specific applications. I presented Lako with the opportunity to help my company find a mechanical solution to an industry-wide problem — air retention in gusseted bags that are packed lying down in the case. They researched and designed four specific jaw serration patterns to test in the lab with different film structures, temperatures, sealing times and pressures to identify the optimal jaw set. Although this was not implemented due to a different business priority, it was a thorough feasibility study.”

HOT CHAMBER PUNCH (HCP)
HOT PUNCH ASSEMBLY FOR PROVIDING AN OPENING IN PACKAGING MATERIAL
PATENT: US-8256189-B2
ISSUE DATE: 09-04-2012
APPLICATION: 12/542,851
APPLICATION DATE: 08/18/2009
A punch assembly is provided in a form, fill, and seal machine that provides a package that includes a sealed end portion and contains an article. The punch assembly includes a housing, and a heat sink provided in and retained by the housing, where the heat sink includes a punch tip that is to provide an opening in the sealed end portion of the package. The punch assembly also includes a coil heater contacting the heat sink to provide heat to the heat sink and the punch tip, where one or more air gaps are provided between the housing and the heat sink to prevent heat transfer from the heat sink to a seal jaw assembly of the form, fill, and seal machine.
