induction sealing : A cap sealing method based on the high-frequency heating of the cap and the inner seal, when placed on their container, in order to enhance tamper evidence and freshness protection. 3, record 1, English, - induction%20cap%2Dsealer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 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. During induction sealing, the cap, with the inner seal, is placed on the 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. 2, record 1, English, - induction%20cap%2Dsealer

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. 3, record 1, French, - machine%20de%20thermoscellage%20par%20induction

High-frequency sealing is the most-used method for sealing laminated tubes. Its advantages include excellent seal strength and high speeds. In this system, high frequency current is sent through the tube causing the aluminum foil layer to heat up. The hot foil melts the plastic inner layer, creating a strong, hermetic seal when the tube is crimped. 1, record 2, English, - high%2Dfrequency%20sealing

Soudage par haute fréquence. Il utilise l'échauffement d'un isolant placé dans un champ électrostatique alternatif qui provoque une agitation moléculaire. (...) Les soudures par haute fréquence sont résistantes et d'un très bon aspect (...) On utilise ce procédé (...) couramment (...) pour la fabrication de doses soudées en tubes après remplissage. On l'emploie avec les P.V.C., le chlorure de polyvinylidène, l'acétate de cellulose, les polyamides. 4, record 2, French, - soudage%20par%20haute%20fr%C3%A9quence

Bien que contesté entre autres par le Grand Dictionnaire Encyclopédique Larousse, le terme "soudure" est employé au sens de "soudage" (l'opération) par les auteurs de "L'emballage sous toutes ses facettes" (code : BEMBA, 1988), ouvrage piloté par le Laboratoire National d'Essais de France et la revue Emballages Magazine. 2, record 2, French, - soudage%20par%20haute%20fr%C3%A9quence
