Keep your waterless induction sealer cool!

Waterless induction sealers depend on airflow for cooling, whereas the water-cooled capsealers depend on water flow to cool the sealing head. The loss of airflow can shorten the life of the sealing head and could result in production downtime.

Check the operation of both the blower and fan on the sealing head. The blower and fan are used to move air across a heat sink inside of the sealing head. Without air movement the coil gets hot enough to trip a temperature switch located on the heat sink. If the temperature switch trips you will not be allowed to restart the capsealer until the sealing head has cooled down. Long-term effects could be burning of wire insulation, causing a short circuit in the sealing head or melting of the bottom plate.

Check the power supply fan. Inside the power supply there are components that require a cooling fan. Without the aid of a fan, the electronic components will reach a temperature that will trigger a temperature switch mounted to the heat sink. The power supply will shut down and a temperature fault will be displayed. The capsealer will not be able to restart until the temperature switch resets.

Check all cooling fan filters. Each of the fans on the capsealer has a filter. These filters must be cleaned or replaced to ensure proper cooling throughout the sealing head and power supply.
