Fraunhofer IVV works on fast monitoring and adjustment of heat-seal temperatures
02/27/2019
The Fraunhofer IVV institute in Dresden is one of the partners in a project aiming to develop thin-film sensors to monitor the heat-sealing process for plastics films, very close to those films and nearly in real-time.
Over the next couple of months, with sister institute Fraunhofer IWM (Werkstoffmechanik – Material Mechanics) and the German Industry Association for Food Technology and Packaging (IVLV), Fraunhofer IVV will start work on the project, entitled ‘Robust thin-film sensors for in-process monitoring and control of critical process parameters in polymer processing’ (RobInPro).
