Development of an Automated Sealing System for Polythene Bag

Abstract

The blessings of technology have sky rocketed in recent era and everything that is witnessed
in the surroundings are the contribution of technology. Therefore, being up to date with the
technology is the demand of modern science. The more automated the processes are, the
better up to date is the technology. This paper presents the design and construction of a low
cost yet flexible and secure automation based polythene bag sealer. This paper will
investigate automation function, sealing mechanism as well as integration of automated
filler, robotic hand and conveyor over the system. The purpose of this system is to supply
polythene bags through vacuum grippers and seal these bags automatically and hence it is
called an automated sealer. The parts that have been used in this system are working
according to plan and the strength of sealing has been determined by hanging dead weight
with the polythene bag. If there is enough capital and investment made behind this whole
process, then it will be possible to construct the desired machine and make it eligible to use
in the industry.
