Pharma packager replaces foam wads with induction seals
Contract Pharmacal Corporation selected Enercon for its competitive price, service and reliability.
Many companies are making the switch from foam wads to induction seals. The shortcomings of foam wads are numerous including an inability to be used with liquid products and an absence of moisture and oxygen barrier properties. In addition, foam wads may be removed and replaced without evidence of tampering.
Contract Pharmacal Corporation is a manufacturer of nutritional supplements, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and prescription pharmaceuticals. Their Vice-President of Operations, says the company changed over from foam wads s to induction foils when the industry increased its demand for a fool proof, tamper-evident seal. "The seals do not come loose from the bottle unless it is done intentionally."
The company selected Enercon for its competitive price, service and reliability. The cap sealers seal containers with cap sizes ranging up to 75 mm on five different lines. The sealers feature highly efficient tunnel sealing heads and operate at speeds of 40 to 120 bpm. Their customers benefit from a tamper evident hermetic seal, with leak protection and zero moisture and oxygen permeability, assuring a fresh and safe product.

Enercon's use of tunnel sealing heads for certain applications optimizes the efficiency of the energy transfer from the power supply to the sealing head and ultimately the induction wad.
