  • Publication number: 20050280181
    Abstract: A crimp press for forming indentations in a pouch closure strip includes a guide track adapted to receive interlocked closure strips attached to a web and carrying a slider. The crimp press includes a reciprocating die having an adjustable stroke located over the guide track. The interlocked closure strips, web, and slider are fed through the guide track a predetermined distance and then indexed while the reciprocating die impacts the interlocked closure strips thereby imparting the desired indentations onto the closure strips. The process may then be repeated. A second crimp press for forming periodically spaced indentations in a pouch closure strip includes a pair of opposing die wheels between which the closure strip is passed. The die wheels include raised die surfaces and recessed slider cutouts and rotate in synchronized motion to form the indentations in the closure strips. The slider cutouts allow a slider on the closure strips to pass between the die wheels without being damaged.
