Foil-to-Container Sealing
A provider of induction-sealing technology offers a solution for applying a foil barrier or a protective seal when a cap is not required or when it’s advantageous to seal the container before applying a cap. The foil-direct, or capless, technology can be applied to a variety of container shapes and sizes. The sealing system can be configured for rotary-filling, benchtop, and pick-place-and-seal applications. Pillar Technologies, Hartland, WI; 262/ 912-7200; www.pillartech.com.
