Euroflow design and manufacture induction sealers to suit
various applications, and can be incorporated into a
semi-automatic of fully automated line including denesting,
filling, lidding and sealing.
Induction sealing is a
tried and tested non-contact process for bonding foil disks or
seals to food, pharmaceutical, beverage and chemical containers.
Most induction sealing is done with a foil pre-loaded into the
closure.
What is induction cap sealing?
Induction sealing is a method of hermetically sealing rigid
containers to provide tamper evidence, preserve freshness, deter
pilferage and prevent leakage while providing product integrity.
Why seal?
1. Tamper Evidence - Deter Pilferage
2. Leak Prevention
3. Increased Shelf Life - Product
Freshness
How does it work?
In most applications, packagers purchase
induction foil lined caps from a cap supplier. Cap styles of all
varieties are available from these suppliers.
After filling and
capping, the container passes under an induction coil which
emits a varying electromagnetic field and the conductive
aluminum foil liner begins to heat. The polymer film on the
liner also heats and flows onto the lip of the container. When
cooled, the polymer creates a bond with the container resulting
in a sealed product.
