For food and beverage manufacturers, induction sealing can require a wide range of specific needs when it comes to sealing their specific products. In order to meet the unique needs of food and beverage manufacturers when it comes to induction sealing, Pillar Technologies offers specialized equipment for a variety of application requirements commonly needed for food and beverage manufacturers.
Higher Throughput, High Speed Operations:
Food and beverage manufacturers commonly require high-speed induction sealing in order to keep up with high throughput, fast-paced production rates. In order to keep up with high speed sealing operations, a higher powered induction sealer is required. Pillar's iFoiler+ Induction Sealer utilizes a larger, 4.5kW power supply designed to be able to keep up with higher powered induction sealing for high throughput, high speed operations.
Detection and Rejection for Unsealed Products:
For food and beverage manufacturers, it's important to have a system in place for making sure that you're consistently getting the seal that you want and removing the products that don't have the proper seal. Pillar offers a complete Bottle and Cap Detection System that utilizes the latest sensor technology to detect and alert for one of three fault conditions: stalled bottles, missing foils, or crooked caps. This system ultimately reduces the chances of shipping unsealed products that can lead to leakage and lost product.
Washdown Compliant Induction Sealers:
To maintain the quality of their systems and ensure they have a clean and safe production environment, food and beverage manufacturers have to regularly clean their equipment. Because of this, they require induction sealing systems that are washdown compliant to be able to withstand the water and harsh chemicals used in washdown processes. With Pillar's patented high efficiency stainless steel and anodized aluminum inverter, both the iFoiler and iFoiler+ Induction Sealers are IP65 ready for full protection against washdown processes.
Sealing Larger Cap Diameters:
Food and beverage manufacturers use induction sealing to seal caps of all different sizes and shapes. For larger cap sizes with more surface area, like peanut butters and mayonnaise, a larger, more powerful induction sealer is needed to heat the entirety of the larger seal. In this case, Pillar's higher-powered iFoiler+ Induction Sealer is the ideal choice as it utilizes a larger 4,5kW power supply that delivers more power for stronger sealing.
Versatility in Sealing Different Cap Styles and Sizes:
A key feature of Pillar's iFoiler and iFoiler+ Induction Sealers is the interchangeability between its Universal Sealing Coil and Tunnel Coil to enable the ability to seal different cap styles and sizes. Food and beverage manufacturers often need to switch between production lines and seal different products with different types of caps. For sealing products such as spices and seasonings that have flat caps, the Universal Sealing Coil is typically used. But for sealing products with dispensing caps, like mustard, a Tunnel Sealing Coil is the best choice.
Maintain Product Freshness and Reduce Potential for Leakage:
Food and beverage manufacturers all require strong and reliable induction seals to maintain product freshness and reduce the potential for leakage. Without a strong induction seal, products cannot be secured in transportation and can cost manufacturers money in lost product if a leak occurs. Both the iFoiler and iFoiler+ Induction Sealers can be used to consistently deliver strong and reliable induction seals.
