Industry leaders Ford's Packaging Systems Ltd. and Enercon Industries agree on induction sealing systems for North America
MENOMONEE FALLS, WI – Traditionally induction sealing has been used to seal capped containers. Ford's Packaging Systems Ltd. of Bedford, England and Enercon Industries of Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin are looking to change how the packaging world seals capless containers.
In a new agreement Enercon will be the official supplier of induction sealing technology for Ford's Packaging Systems in North America. The agreement allows the companies to work cohesively on projects involving both companies' expertise. Ford's is the leading supplier of capping presses in the world and Enercon is the global leader in induction sealing technology.
Enercon's induction technology may be retrofitted to existing conduction sealing systems or be featured on a new system. Induction sealing of capless containers is ideal for the following types of products: cream cheese, yogurts, cottage cheese, still water, juices, hot and cold fills, jams, jellies, mustards, soups, various sauces and spreads.
Induction benefits over traditional conduction sealing include:
- Cleaner and cooler operation
- Instantaneous start-up and operation
- High speed production capability
- Less maintenance required
- Improved safety
- Quicker changeover
- More consistent heat pattern
Enercon Industries Corporation, headquartered in Menomonee Falls, WI, supplies a complete range of automatic and semi-automatic induction cap sealers to the packaging industry. The company also manufacturers custom surface treating systems.
