Kiefel will present innovations in the field of processing plastic film materials in the medical sector. One of the highlights is the new solid state generator for the high-frequency welding of medical bags made of PVC and the other is the table filling module KTFM which allows flexible filling of bags with volumes between 50 and 6,000mm. At the Brückner Group Pre-K press conference at their premises in Siegsdorf, Kiefel presented a test station for the filling of medical bags.

Kiefel will be exhibiting the new solid state generator with an output of 8kW. In comparison to the tube generator, the company says, the solid state generator does not wear and enables high-frequency welding of particularly high-quality medical bags made of PVC. Due to an elaborate modular concept, a series of generators with outputs between 8 and 32kW are possible.
Another innovation is the table filling module KTFM which allows flexible filling of bags with volumes between 50 and 6,000mm. The KTFM can be used as individual filling module or as a production unit with up to five modules. From 500 up to 4,000 bags with a volume of 500mm can be produced per hour on one production unit. Plugs are fed automatically or manually, as desired. At the show Kiefel will present the table filling module KTFM and the solid state generator in combination with the double sliding machine KST 70/40.
Machine for the manufacture of blood bags
In the past few months, Kiefel developed new machine concepts for the medical sector. “Our new Form-Fill-Seal machine KFFS ensures a high output with an outstanding quality,” states Thomas J. Halletz, Managing Director of Kiefel. This machine produces up to 6,000 bags per hour. Depending on the design of the product and the film material, it is even possible to prevent waste to a great extent. Other features of this Kiefel machine are a constant monitoring of welding parameters, a user-friendly control system and maximum flexibility due to the modular design.
Blood bag application
The two new compact blood bag machines KBM 302 and KBM 304 offer flexibility and a high output. Halletz says that the new Flex-Feeder-System is also very popular with the customers because of its high flexibility which is said to allow processing of a wide range of components. The robots in use are camera-guided.
Kiefel is designing and constructing machines for the production of blood bags and filters, catheter systems, nutrition, dialysis, infusion, colostomy and urine bags. Customers include Baxter, Tyco, Healthcare, Vamaco and Fresenius.
