Quin has worked with a machine builder to increase productivity in the manufacture of breast pads for a major healthcare company.

The machine accepts up to 4 reels of material, from which breast pads are formed and then collated into pre-defined quantities for subsequent packing. Process variables allow adjustments to:

• the machine speed
• the cut and seal phasing
• the sealing duration
• the product density
• the sealing temperature
• the collation quantity
