TOSS® PIREG® Heatseal Temperature Controllers are designed specifically for controlling heatsealing operations. They are not general purpose controllers. The functions and features are precisely those needed for heatsealing perfection. With the TOSS® PIREG® Heatseal Temperature Controllers every sealing cycle is provided with exactly the amount of energy needed to create the perfect seal. Since the temperature can be controlled, it is possible to energize the Heatseal Band before the jaws are closed without danger of overheating. Heatseal Bands and Cover Strip material last longer and every seal is the same without adjustment, day in and day out. The question is, “Which Temperature Controller is right for the application?”

TOSS® PIREG® Heatseal Temperature Controllers utilize digital technology and are universally adaptable to almost every heat sealing application. The models PIREG-C2 & C2 EtherNet/IP™ are designed for “in cabinet” mounting to protect the controller from such hazards as untrained personnel and chemical washdown. The PIREG-545 is panel mounted for easy access and visibility.

Standard TOSS® PIREG® Controllers are somewhat limited in power, but Booster Systems are available for loads as high as 15 KVA. Applications with heavy loads or prolonged sealing cycles require special consideration. Please consult the Application Engineers at TOSS for assistance in your system design.

PIREG®-C2

This versatile controller can interface with your PLC controls. It will respond to both “START” and analog “Temperature Control” signals and will feedback actual heatseal band temperature in real time. Important features include Auto-calibration and Fault Detection including Heatseal Band break, parallel band break, and ground fault detection. An overheat detection circuit activates an “Alarm” which, in turn, will shut down the system in the event of fault. A 24 VDC auxiliary power supply is required.

PIREG®-C2 ETHERNET/IP™

This controller utilizes an EtherNet/IP™ interface which is a standard for industrial networking in automated packaging equipment. Through the EtherNet/IP™ interface, all sealing parameters and functions can be controlled by means of the machine’s PLC control system. This interface also allows for easy capturing and storing of critical sealing cycle data.
