This is our sonic welder. In our last video, April showed us how to assemble a shower filter. For large production orders, we use a sonic welder to seal them. Let's bring Kevin in here to explain it further. This is our ultrasonic welder.
It's an industrial machine that uses high frequencies to melt ABS and different types of plastic together without using heat or glue. For plastic, this heats together the materials locally and it'll fuse while it cools. When the parts are pressed together, these rapid vibrations will create friction and microscopic heat around the seam. And that's how we get our completed shower filters, our pitcher cartridges, our bath bombs, and other small products. Thanks, Kevin.
Come back in our next video to see me actually welding. Bye, guys.
