Case Study
A major multinational company has achieved a perfect seal on a problematic product thanks to Enercon Industries’ sealing specialists.
GlaxoSmithKline, owner of the Horlicks brand, had created a unique oval pillow-shaped pack for the nutritional hot drink to emphasise its reputation for helping people to sleep.
However, the snap-on cap lacked the required pressure for conventional induction sealing processes.
In need of a solution, GlaxoSmithKline contacted Enercon Industries.
Brian Tyndall, UK Sales Manager, said: “To ensure a strong seal for Horlicks, Enercon was able to integrate a customised Super Seal™ Max induction sealer with a Top Belt Sealer.
“This combination ensured that the required pressure would be applied to the cap and foil throughout the sealing process and create a perfect seal.”
Explaining the importance of an induction seal for the product, Mr Tyndall added: “A strong, hermetic seal is important for a powdered product such as Horlicks because it is very hygroscopic – meaning the powder will absorb moisture and turn into a solid.”
