CONVUM PM Series | Star Pads for Flexible Pouch Handling

• Star-Shaped Lip for Pouches: Segmented sealing adapts to films and soft packs, building vacuum quickly and reducing wrinkling and slip.
• Soft, Conforming Seal: Tracks deformation, edges, and folds for stable handling of film bags, foil pouches, and flexible packs.
• Size Range: ø20 / 34 / 48 mm to match bag size and payload.
• Materials / Specs:
  • S4 (Silicone): 40A/s, light blue, −60 to 250 °C.
  • S5 (Silicone): 55A/s, translucent white, −60 to 250 °C.
  • SM (Metal Detectable Silicone): 55A/s, gray, −60 to 250 °C; metal-detectable for food-line foreign-object control.
• Packaging & Logistics Ready: Reliable pick, place, and sorting on film pouches, zipper bags, and vacuum bags.
• Applications: Food/snack pouch handling, e-commerce sorting/packing, flexible packaging infeed, gentle pick of delicate cartons/soft items.

Q1: What workpieces are PM pads best for?
A: Soft, deformable items—food pouches, film bags, and foil packs.

Q2: How do PM pads differ from flat pads?
A: The star-shaped lip conforms to soft bags and limits slip, while flat pads suit smooth, rigid planar parts.

Q3: What sizes are available?
A: ø20, 34, 48 mm—select by bag size, weight, and target cycle time.

Q4: How should I choose among S4 / S5 / SM?
A: S4 (40A/s) = softer, higher conformity; S5 (55A/s) = firmer support; SM (55A/s) = metal-detectable silicone for HACCP/FO detection on food lines.

Q5: Are they suitable for high-speed packaging?
A: Yes—star lips help fast sealing and reduce slip; validate on-tool vacuum build/holding and tune orifice and motion profiles.
