Abstract

SE PRESENTA UN METODO PARA MANUFACTURAR BOLSAS DE PLASTICO REUTILIZABLES QUE INCLUYE EL PASO DE REBLANDECER LA LONGITUD COMPLETA DEL CIERRE DE CREMALLERA ANTES DE QUE SE INTRODUZCA DENTRO DEL ESPACIO ENTRE LOS DOS PLIEGUES DEL MATERIAL DE LA LAMINA DE PLASTICO, QUE FORMAN LOS LADOS DE LA BOLSA DE PLASTICO. EL PRE-REBLANDECIMIENTO HACE POSIBLE QUE EL CIERRE DE CREMALLERA, QUE PUEDE COMPRENDER PERFILES MACHO Y HEMBRA ENTRELAZADOS, SE FUNDA Y SE APLANE COMPLETAMENTE CUANDO UNA BARRA SELLADORA LO SUJETA PARA FORMAR UN AREA LATERAL SELLADA TRANSVERSAL AL CIERRE DE CREMALLERA.
