The Relco Punch&Seal is an extremely compact and
highly efficient
induction sealing device which is used to
cut foil from a reel into
the required seal profile, locate the seal onto the container and
induction weld in place, all in a single downward stroke. The power
of the Relco induction sealing system combined with the small stroke
of the Punch&Seal unit allows for extremely fast cycle times,
in many cases less than 1 second for the complete operation. This
patented device uses the unique Relco ceramic cutting technology
providing a cutting face which is over 4 times the hardness of equivalent
tool steel punch and die sets.
Using the Punch&Seal system a hermetic seal can be
made on any
container or over any other aperture without
the conventional requirement
of a cap and screw thread.
Many advantages are available to the user
including the
ability to light-weight bottles and caps by removal
of the
thread and the ability to sterilise the foil before application
to ensure a perfectly clean seal. The Punch&Seal is also ideally
suited to Aseptic and other ESL filling systems allowing the hermetic
sealing of containers whilst they are still within the aseptic/sterile
atmosphere. The Punch&Seal unit is designed to be powered by
the Relco P-800 induction generator.
This is an extremely compact
device requiring no external cooling which can be fitted into almost
any kind of
filler/sealer with very little modification.
