Fraunhofer IVV, branch office for processing machines and packaging technology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The processing machines business area is processed at the Fraunhofer IVV, Processing Technology branch . It is one of four business areas of the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (IVV). Its activities can be assigned to applied research and development in engineering in the field of processing machines and packaging technology.

Research and Development

The Fraunhofer IVV Dresden is active in the field of machine processing and packaging, the target sectors of which can be found in the food, pharmaceutical and packaging sectors as well as in medical technology, the automotive industry and industrial component cleaning. As one of the four business fields of the Fraunhofer IVV in Freising , the business field "processing machines" has its research location in the branch office for processing machines and packaging technology in Dresden.

The main research areas at a glance:

Processing of flexible materials

The focal points in this area include research into the mechanisms of action and error analysis in sealing / welding processes, the evaluation of the sealing and welding behavior of flexible materials and the optimization of processes in thermal contact, ultrasonic and laser sealing as well as the investigation of the real process environment e.g. B. a tubular bag machine with gas supply option or a thermoforming, filling and sealing machine.

Industrial cleaning technologies

The competence of the subject area "industrial cleaning technologies" lies in the area of ​​open and closed cleaning processes. This is supplemented by extensive experience in the development of new cleaning methods and hygienic process design.

Process analysis

The core competencies of this research focus lie in the development and selection of suitable diagnostic systems, taking into account an application-oriented and reproducible mapping of the process conditions, as well as in the implementation of evaluative studies of processing machines and systems with regard to effectiveness and process costs. In the area of ​​thermoforming, special attention is paid to the development of new, efficient technologies and the optimization of the thermoforming process.
