Induction for Packaging

De-bonding a Magnetic Steel Paint Can Lid

The goal of the induction bonding process is to quickly and cleanly remove the can lid and to pour out paint to reformulate. Induction enabled rapid removal of the paint can lids.

Metal to plastic bonding of beer kegs

A single-turn solenoid coil is placed around the assembled beer keg and heated for 35 seconds as the keg is rotated. Pressure is applied with a press on the top rim whilst the keg is rotating, forming a seal between the aluminum mesh and the two halves of the beer keg.

Bonding Foil to a Plastic Bottle

It was confirmed that the aluminum heated sufficiently to create a bond between the foil and the bottle, meeting the client's objective.

Sealing Aluminum Caps (Beverages)

Induction delivers the same result time after time, making it ideal for this high-volume manufacturing process. The space-efficient 45 kW EKOHEAT fits nicely into the client's floor plan.

Sealing a Plastic Container

An EASYHEAT and a workhead required a minimal footprint, saving the client floor space.

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

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.

Curing ink on aluminum bottle caps

A double channel coil is used for the ink drying application. Fifteen bottle caps are placed inside the coil and power is applied for 3 seconds to dry the ink.

Curing the Inside Liner of Baby Food Bottle Tops

A three turn oval pancake coil is used to cure the inside liner of a baby food bottle cap. The bottle cap travels through the coil at 25 per second to cure 500 caps per minute.

Curing Measuring Tape Paint

The Ambrell 20kW output solid state induction power supply along with a unique 30 inch long multi turn helical coil was found to produce the following results.

Sealing an Aluminum Cap Seal on a Plastic Jug

To heat one aluminum cap seal on a plastic jug for a cap sealing application. The client is replacing past systems that no longer work for their process.

Curing Oil Filters for Agricultural Equipment

To heat steel parts for a curing application; the end-product was an oil filter for agricultural equipment.

Curing ink on aluminum bottle caps

A double channel coil is used for the ink drying application. Fifteen bottle caps are placed inside the coil and power is applied for 3 seconds to dry the ink.

Curing the Inside Liner of Baby Food Bottle Tops

A three turn oval pancake coil is used to cure the inside liner of a baby food bottle cap. The bottle cap travels through the coil at 25 per second to cure 500 caps per minute.

Curing Measuring Tape Paint

The Ambrell 20kW output solid state induction power supply along with a unique 30 inch long multi turn helical coil was found to produce the following results.

Curing Oil Filters for Agricultural Equipment

To heat steel parts for a curing application; the end-product was an oil filter for agricultural equipment.

Heat aluminum molds to release baked food products

Induction heating is safer than heating with a convection oven. Grease from the molds causes a fire hazard and waste gases in the oven.

Heating Steel Knives; Food Processing

To rapidly heat steel knives on the line of a food processing facility, improving efficiency; the client had been using a different heating method.

Soldering a steel canister for sealing

Current hand-soldering process results in uneven, non-uniform joints and requires long production times. Induction delivers uniform, quality joints by generating heat within the end-plate and reservoir walls.
