Patent number: 11529767Abstract: A method and apparatus for making bags from a film that follows a film path through a bag machine includes an input section located on the film path, a sealing section located on the film path downstream of the input section, an output section located on the film path downstream of the sealing section, and a controller, connected to control the sealing section. The sealing section includes a sealer that includes a heater block and a manifold. There is an air flow path from the heater block to the manifold. Air is heated in the heater block in response to a control signal provided by the controller to the heater block. The heated air is provided through the air path to the manifold. A temperature sensor is disposed in at least one of the air path and the manifold.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: CMD CorporationInventors: Casey J. Calmes, Thomas C. Jansen, Paul A. Johnson, Scott A. Beinema, Timothy J. Rymer, Michael J. Stickney

Patent number: 10981338Abstract: A method and apparatus for making bags from a film that follows a film path through a bag machine includes an input section located on the film path, a sealing section located on the film path down stream of the input section, an output section located on the film path downstream of the sealing section, and a controller, connected to control the sealing section. The sealing section includes a sealer that includes a heater block and a manifold. There is an air flow path from the heater block to the manifold. Air is heated in the heater block in response to a control signal provided by the controller to the heater block. The heated air is provided through the air path to the manifold. A temperature sensor is disposed in at least one of the air path and the manifold.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: CMD CorporationInventors: Casey J.

Publication number: 20200207048Abstract: A method and apparatus for making bags with hem seals is disclosed. The machine includes an infeed section and a draw tape section. Bags are made from a film and a film path extends through the infeed section and through the draw tape section. The draw tape section includes a hem sealer that includes a stationary sealing plate on one side of the film path such that film path passes across the stationary plate. A sealing head is on the second side of the film path, opposite the first side, such that the film following the film path passes between the sealing head and the stationary plate. A sealing section may be included. The draw tape section may include driven infeed an outfeed nips.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Applicant: CMD CorporationInventors: Timothy J. Rymer, Charles H. Sauder, Thomas C. Jansen, Curt A. Frievalt, Scott A. Beinema
