Alphabetical list of terms

Record 1 2011-05-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Machinery and Equipment
DEF

A machine used for the sealing of packages by heat and pressure.

CONT

Although heat sealers differ in design, operation method and source of heat, their essential functions are similar. They all provide heat, pressure and time in sufficient amounts to bond firmly two heat-sealable surfaces.

OBS

It should be noted that the French equivalents “thermoscelleuse”, “scelleuse” and “machine à sceller à chaud” apply only to machines that use coating materials for sealing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines et équipement d'emballage
DEF

Machine réalisant l'assemblage par ramollissement à chaud de matériaux scellables grâce à une couche de scellage. C'est le cas notamment des pellicules cellulosiques imprégnées.

OBS

Cette notion s'oppose à celle de thermosoudage ou de soudage, qui se rapporte à des matériaux tels que le polyéthylène, collables sans apport d'enduit.

Record 2 2010-03-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Machinery and Equipment
DEF

A machine used for the sealing of packages by heat and pressure.

OBS

Contrary to their English counterparts, the French terms "soudeuse" and "thermosoudeuse" are used to designate a machine that always effects thermal sealing by joining products with a coating material.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines et équipement d'emballage
DEF

Machine réalisant l'assemblage par ramollissement à chaud de deux surfaces composées de matériaux soudables tels que le polyéthylène, le polypropylène, etc.

OBS

En revanche, le thermoscellage s'obtient avec une machine à sceller des matériaux tels que la pellicule cellulosique imprégnée préalablement d'une couche de scellage.

Record 3 1993-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Machinery and Equipment
DEF

... sealers [that] ... provide heat, pressure and time in sufficient amounts to bond firmly two heat-sealable surfaces.

OBS

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines et équipement d'emballage
DEF

Machine effectuant le thermoscellage (souvent par induction) des opercules.

OBS

opercule : Découpe en aluminium mince, film plastique ou complexe servant à la fermeture de petits contenants (pots de yaourt, petits suisses, etc.).
