Adaptive Sealing™ Gap
New Cap Sealing System Eliminates Faulty Seals Due to Operator Set Up Errors
To Achieve a Perfect Seal™ packagers need to set up their induction cap sealers at a specified gap and power level for each of their applications. If operators set the gap too small overheating of the liner may occur. If operators set the gap too large under heating may prevent a seal from being achieved.
Enercon’s new Adaptive Sealing™ System overcomes improper operator gap set up to ensure successful sealing.
How Adaptive Sealing Works:
The system includes a special foil detector which measures the gap between the sealing head and the foil liner to sealed. Recipes are created for each application. Containers, caps and line speed remain constant for each recipe. An Operating Window determining the ideal power level across five different gap settings is created.
With the Adaptive Sealing™ recipe activated the system detects the gap between the foil liner and the sealing head. It automatically adjust the power level for the current gap setting. If containers pass under the sensor at a gap outside of the recipe the containers may be rejected and the operator will be alerted to the fault.
