1. General
CIRUS (Cermet Integrated Resistive Ultrafast Sensorless heaters)
heatsealing tools are the outcome of an ongoing development process at ROPEX GmbH lasting many years. Extensive experience
embracing more than 25 years as a leading supplier of systems to
control the temperature of heatsealing bands laid the foundation for
this new technology. (Patent Nos. 197 37 471 and 198 15 763)
CIRUS heatsealing tools have succeeded in overcoming the
familiar drawbacks of conventional film sealing tools, namely in
particular:
The long temperature rise and cooling times
The complex mechanical designs that are necessary:
a) To compensate thermal expansion
b) To ensure reliable current transfers
c) To avoid local overheating (coppering)
The need to use anti-stick coverings (teflon)
The restriction to specific formats
The short service life
The high costs of maintenance
etc.
CIRUS heating elements
Are extremely dynamic
Have no moving parts
Dispense with anti-stick coverings
Are format-neutral
Require no maintenance
Are durable
In combination with specially tailored control loop components, such
as a temperature controller (UPT/LPT-640), impulse-transformers
(ITR-x), silicone profiles, a cooler etc., they provide ROPEX GmbH
customers with an optimized overall system that guarantees reliable
operation, thus saving both time and money.

Ultra-Pulse-Technology (UPT) or
Long-Pulse-Technology (LPT)
3.1 Ultra-pulse technology (UPT)
This technology generates heat impulses in
the region of a few hundred milliseconds.
In addition to the UPT heatsealing tool, the
system essentially consists of a UPT controller and a water cooler for the tool. The tool
always operates in impulse mode. It is
characterized by extremely short slope times
for heating and cooling - typically around
6000 K/sec. for heating and 3000 K/sec. at
the start of the cooling phase (e-function).

In addition to sealing film, the unit also efficiently accomplishes other joining tasks,
such as soldering or bonding.

Sensor monitoring
the excellent heat coupling, both to the heating layer and to the product (film), this
sensor supplies an instantaneous signal that
represents the heatsealing process and can
be used for process monitoring (e.g. validation).
A monitoring device (RMTS) completely
separate from the control loop is connected
to the sensor layer. It compares various parameters with the programmable limit values.

5. System characteristics
Optimized thermal dynamics
The extremely fast temperature rise with typical slope steepnesses of
6000 K/second, followed by rapid cooling after the heating phase,
is the outstanding feature of CIRUS ULTRA-PULSE heatsealing
tools.
The optimized thermal dynamics are the result of the physical properties and the structure of the layers, combined with the fact that
the heating layers are only a few m away from the sealing surface.
Moreover, the heat for the sealing process no longer has to penetrate any insulating, anti-stick layers.

Format-neutral
ULTRA-PULSE heating elements allow narrow webs of film to be processed with long
sealing bars without any problems, because
there is no temperature rise in the unloaded
zones.

The contacts on the ends of the FLEX bars
are laterally offset from the longitudinal axis
to enable two bars to be matched.

Anti-stick layer
The use of a classic Teflon glass fiber material for the anti-stick cover has also proved
successful with UPT heatsealing tools.
In addition to good anti-stick properties and
easy replacement, this material also effectively protects the glass ceramic surface of
the heating element against friction, abrasion, scoring, or other mechanical damage
from the film or the product being packed.
Compared to conventional heasealing band
technology, the ULTRA-PULSE tool sigificantly increases the life of the Teflon cover
because the edge zones are never overheated.
The material should be as thin as possible
because the anti-stick layer also reduces the
thermal dynamics of the system.
