The use of inductive heat-sealing equipment instead of conductive heat sealing is broadening the applications for foil lidding. Inductive sealing does not heat the lid by direct contact. Heat is brought into the lidding stock by a magnetic field through which the container and lid pass. The magnetic field heats the foil in the lid and an effective, hermetic seal forms between the lid and the container. 3, record 5, English, - heat%20sealer

A typical Vertrod Thermal Impulse Sealer comprises a pair of jaws, one of which is a resilient pressure jaw and the other the heater jaw containing a heater element in the form of a metal strip of very low heat capacity. After tightly closing the jaws over the film, an electrical impulse is applied to the heater element for a short period, generally less than a second, instantaneously heating the films to their welding temperature. 1, record 6, English, - thermal%20impulse%20sealer
