Why GlaxoSmithKline chose the Enercon Super Seal™ Max with the Linear Top Belt sealer!
- The innovative design for their uniquely shaped oval 'snap-on' cap for the Horlicks range required an airtight seal to prevent product exposure to moisture.
- The 'snap-on' cap lacked the pressure required for conventional induction sealing processes.
Keith Marriage, Director, Nutritional Healthcare for GlaxoSmithKline, discussed it with Enercon UK to work together to find a solution.
The Solution
A Super Seal™ Max with a customised coil, coupled with a Top Belt Sealer to ensure that the caps apply pressure on the foil during the sealing process.
The design of the Linear Top Belt Sealed uses a compressible belt and specially designed carriage to carry the belt through the induction coil ensuring that the foil is perfectly in contact with the seal surface, even if there are imperfections in the surface.
The belt arrangement is more tolerant of seal to surface variations than any other contact sealer.
Conclusion
- The Linear Top Belt Sealer delivers a medium-strength contact with an optimized balance of line speed, application pressure and induction power.
- The Enercon Super Seal™ Max gives an induction field is consistent, powerful and delivered in a controlled manner.
Albeit glass or plastic Enercon maintains a wide operating window within which good sealing results are consistently achieved!
