Ultrasonic Welding of PET Plastic – Optimal Solution for Challenging Materials | VietSonic

1. General Introduction

Ultrasonic Welding of PET Plastic is a high-frequency contact method that utilizes ultrasonic sound waves to generate vibration, melting and bonding two PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) surfaces without the use of adhesives or additives. PET is a common material in food packaging, bottles, and electronic components due to its durability, heat resistance, and hygiene safety.

2. Why Choose Ultrasonic Welding for PET?

  • Fast – Clean – Strong: The welding process takes only a fraction of a second to a few seconds, producing no smoke, dust, or unpleasant odors.
  • Chemical-Free: Enhances safety and complies with FDA or EC standards in the food processing industry.
  • Meets Technical Criteria: For PET, which is difficult to weld (more rigid than PP or PE), the ultrasonic method ensures high sealing tightness, preventing warping or deformation, making it optimal for applications requiring strict durability.

3. Highlights from the VietSonic Video

  • Ultrasonic Spot Welding: A technique that concentrates energy on a small area, creating a strong joint with precise manipulation and high aesthetic finish.
  • Equipment Demo: VietSonic demonstrates an ultrasonic welding machine processing PET plastic, showcasing the ability to adjust vibration amplitude, time, and pressure to suit each component.
  • Material Comparison: PET is more challenging to weld than other plastics, but with correct technical parameters, ultrasonic welders ensure high airtightness and durability.

4. PET Ultrasonic Welding Process Steps

     

  1. Parameter Setup: Determine the amplitude, frequency, and time suitable for the thickness/hardness of the PET part.

    2.  

  2. Surface Cleaning: Remove dust and grease to ensure consistent results.
  3. Component Alignment: The two PET surfaces must touch evenly, positioned precisely under the welding horn.
  4. Welding Execution: The ultrasonic machine brings the horn into contact, generating vibration → heat generation → the contact area bonds tightly.
  5. Quick Inspection: Observe the weld surface, verify airtightness, check pressure manually, or perform pressure/vibration tests.

5. Practical Applications

     

  • Medical Masks (3-4 layers): Ear loops, lint straps, and binding cords.

    •  

  • Assembly Line Production: Module connection for mask body feeding – welding – inspection – packaging.

    •  

  • Suitable for Workshops & Factories: From medium to large scale, requiring fast and efficient production.

6. Benefits of Using VietSonic PET Ultrasonic Welders

     

  • High Performance: Delivers beautiful, aesthetic welds without plastic charring or burning.

    •  

  • Excellent Stability: Precise cycle control prevents cracking, brittleness, or warping.

    •  

  • Cost Savings: Modern ultrasonic machines help reduce time, labor, and energy consumption.
  • Safety Standard Compliance: Products used in medical and food sectors meet hygiene standards.

7. Conclusion
