Thick-film Printing of Silicone on Wound Pads
Today, wound pads are more than just simple patches. Some of them are sterile and multi-layer sandwich structures made of absorber, foil and fleece, which remain on burns for a longer period of time. To prevent the wound from sticking to the covering material, some manufacturers use silicone strips.
We realize the automated, reproducible production of these structures on variable wound pads with our EKRA printer X5 Professional with an output of up to 100 pieces per minute. It is important to achieve a long production time between the automatic cleaning cycles and to handle the flexible material reliably. The EKRA experts combine knowledge of process, pastes and technology to achieve the perfect processing of silicone.
After drying, the separated pads are fed and transferred to the following packaging process. In this process we use our expertise in the integration of robotics and rely on delta robots due to their speed. A complete solution from one source.
