A cap-sealing method based on the high-frequency heating of the cap and its inner seal, when placed on their container, in order to enhance tamper evidence and freshness protection. 5, record 7, English, - induction%20cap%20sealing
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A typical induction innerseal consists of a pulp board liner, a layer of wax, aluminum foil, and a polymer that is compatible with the lid of the plastic container. As the container and cap pass under the induction coil, a varying magnetic field heats the aluminum foil, which melts the wax and polymer, sealing it to the lip of the container. Thus, the innerseal leaves an hermetic layer of foil and polymer coating on the top of the bottle. If the foil seal is broken, any tampering is immediately apparent to the consumer. 1, record 7, English, - induction%20cap%20sealing

Après remplissage et fermeture, le récipient passe sous un champ d'induction émis par un générateur hautes fréquences. L'effet est instantané : l'aluminium, et lui seul, se réchauffe, ce qui provoque : la fonte de la cire d'assemblage qui migre vers le carton et libère la pellicule. La fusion du polymère qui va adhérer parfaitement au col du récipient. Au dévissage du bouchon, l'opercule aluminium reste soudé au goulot, alors que le joint carton demeure logé à l'intérieur du bouchon favorisant une meilleure étanchéité lors du rebouchage. 4, record 7, French, - thermoscellage%20par%20induction

La règle (slice) joue un rôle essentiel dans la formation de la feuille. Elle débite la pâte à une vitesse voisine de celle de la toile sans créer de turbulences excessives; son débit doit être uniforme sur toute la largeur de la table de fabrication. La règle se compose d'une lèvre supérieure (upper lip), d'une lèvre inférieure ou tablier (bottom lip, apron board) et de leurs dispositifs de réglage. L'angle que forme le jet de pâte avec la toile détermine le point d'impact du jet sur le rouleau de tête (breast roll). Cet angle dépend de la position angulaire de la lèvre inférieure ainsi que de la position relative des lèvres inférieure et supérieure. Le jet sera d'autant plus horizontal que la lèvre inférieure sera avancée. Les règles doivent être rigides pour éviter toute variation d'épaisseur de la feuille. 3, record 8, French, - l%C3%A8vre%20sup%C3%A9rieure
