Ultrasonic Cutting Modules for Industrial Precision Applications

In an increasingly demanding industrial environment—where quality, productivity, versatility, and cleanliness have become top priorities—ultrasonic cutting technology stands out as an essential solution.

At SinapTec, we design and supply ready-to-integrate ultrasonic modules that successfully meet even the most complex cutting challenges: sticky or delicate foods, technical textiles, composite materials, nonwovens, or thin plastics.

Thanks to our expertise in industrial ultrasound applications, we offer our clients reliable, clean, high-performance, and adaptable technology that fits perfectly with the constraints of modern production lines.

Ultrasonic cutting is based on a simple yet highly effective principle: a blade or tool vibrates at very high frequency (between 20 kHz and 40 kHz), powered by a piezoelectric system. This rapid vibration enables the material to be sliced through micro-friction, without excessive mechanical force and without generating excessive heat.

Unlike conventional cutting methods, ultrasound offers:

🔹 A drastic reduction in sticky residues (ideal for food products or adhesive materials)

🔹 Minimal heat build-up, preventing damage to heat-sensitive materials

🔹 Clean and consistent cuts, even on soft, elastic, or multilayer materials

🔹 Fewer residues thanks to vibrations that prevent material from accumulating on the blade

Our modules are designed for easy and fast integration into your equipment—whether you’re building new machines or upgrading existing production lines. Each module includes:

Our modules are designed for continuous operation, meeting high demands in terms of speed, robustness, and consistency. Their compactness, ease of installation, and reliability make our solutions an ideal choice for machine builders and integrators.

The food industry is one of the main beneficiaries of ultrasonic cutting technology. The blade vibrations prevent sticky or fragile products (cakes, cheeses, cold cuts, prepared meals, frozen products, etc.) from sticking to the blade or becoming deformed.

This technology is ideal for meeting the industry’s high standards in terms of hygiene and production line automation.

Specific advantages of ultrasonic cutting in the food industry:

🔹 Clean and consistent cuts, without crushing or loss of shape

🔹 Reduced material waste: better control over yield

🔹 Clean separation of portions (less transfer of fatty or creamy substances)

🔹 Enhanced hygiene: the blade stays clean longer, reducing cleaning-related downtime

🔹 Suitable for cold or automated environments

We support both manufacturers of automatic cutting lines and food processors seeking a modular solution to improve an existing production line.

In the field of technical textiles, ultrasonic cutting not only enables clean cuts but also simultaneous edge sealing. This prevents fraying and strengthens the mechanical integrity of the pieces.

Typical applications of ultrasonic cutting in textiles:

🔹 Geotextiles for construction, civil engineering, or environmental use

→ Geotextiles, which often fray when cut mechanically, benefit from clean cuts with sealed edges using ultrasonic technology—eliminating the need for heat bonding or stitching and improving long-term durability.

🔹 Industrial filters (air, liquid, particles)

→ Ultrasonic cutting prevents fiber dispersion and produces sealed edges.

🔹 Nonwovens for hygiene or medical applications (masks, compresses, protective products)

→ Ultrasound enables precise cutting and edge sealing in one step, effectively replacing traditional mechanical blades. It is particularly suited for contour cutting, such as mask edges.

🔹 Membranes and composite textiles (technical, multilayer)

→ For these sensitive materials, ultrasonic cutting avoids fraying, distortion, or burning while ensuring uniform edge sealing.

🔹 Textiles for automotive or protective equipment

→ In these demanding sectors, ultrasound ensures precise cuts, clean finishes, and preservation of technical properties—ideal for automotive interiors and safety garments.

Ultrasound eliminates several post-cutting steps (stitching, heat bonding, trimming), resulting in time savings, cost reduction, and better product finishing.

Our modules can also be used in many other industrial applications that require precise and controlled cutting:

🔹 Thin plastic films

→ These fragile materials, often used in packaging or electronics, benefit from ultrasonic cutting that avoids melted or fused edges, ensuring clean, burr-free cuts.

🔹 PU/PE foam

→ Commonly used in insulation, furniture, or automotive applications, these foams can tear or compress under mechanical cutting. Ultrasound enables fine cutting without crushing.

🔹 Soft rubbers

→ Used for sealing or cushioning, they are often difficult to cut cleanly. Ultrasonic technology provides smooth, residue-free cuts, even for complex shapes.

🔹 Thermoplastic multilayers

→ These materials combine several functions (barrier, protection, adhesion) in packaging or medical applications. Ultrasonic cutting prevents delamination and localized heating, ensuring perfect layer integrity.

🔹 Laminates for packaging or electronics

→ These high-value materials require consistent precision. Ultrasonic cutting guarantees repeatable quality without deformation or delamination.

Ultrasonic technology stands out particularly with multilayer or composite materials, where conventional cutting could cause delamination, overheating, or distortion.
