For bonding synthetic textiles or filter media, the fabric passes under a horn, which directs the ultrasonic vibrations through the layers. The materials are heated up and fused together, making a finished seam or sealed edge. No adhesives or consumables – such as solder or thread – are needed. The weld or bond is produced quickly – usually in two to four seconds – without heating the surrounding area. This process produces ultra-reliable, repeatably accurate welds and bonds. Ultrasonic welding is environmentally friendly, produces no waste, and is economical to use.
