Sealing an aluminum disk onto a plastic cap
Induction heating enabled the aluminum to seal to the plastic cap quickly without the cap being damaged. The customer desired a quick rate which would make in-sourcing the process worthwhile, and induction heating exceeded the targeted production rate thanks to its fast heating.
Heating pre-assembled plastic tube and cap for cap sealing application
Customer currently has Ambrell equipment and would like to increase their run rate.
Sealing aluminum foil cap to plastic bottle
Coil design can be incorporated to fit a wide range of production setups. Hands-free heating, involves no operator skill for manufacturing and directly heats only perimeter of foil.
Cap Sealing 3.5 Lotion Container
Power is applied directly to the foil; no energy is wasted heating the cap or the surrounding air or parts.
Cap Sealing; Shampoo Container
A three-turn two-position helical coil is used to heat the aluminum foil in a tunnel style assembly. Product (containers) passes easily under the induction coil.
About Induction Heating
Induction heating is a fast, efficient, precise and repeatable non-contact method for heating metals or other electrically-conductive materials. The material may be a metal such as brass, aluminum, copper or steel or it can be a semiconductor such as silicon carbide,carbon or graphite. To heat non-conductive materials such as plastics or glass, induction is used to heat an electrically-conductive susceptor, typically graphite, which then transfers the heat to the non-conducting material.
