Key Benefits
- No pneumatics or vacuum required reducing overall cost of ownership and improving reliability
- Reduces consumable cost and eliminates errors from moving/handling the foil cap
- Improved reliability of downstream automation
- Foil seal quality can be customized to specific requirements of a customer, from a protective dust cap to a firmly welded leak free seal
- Low energy usage, instant heater ready state, no hot surfaces to touch, better reliability than resistive element heaters
- Lower operator intervention, increased walkaway time
- Cheaper than alternative capping methods or pre-cut foil
- Handles a wide range of plastic tube sizes and types without requiring any adjustments
- Easier to integrate into an analyzer or track based system
- Self-test routines and performance metrics allow for proactive servicing
Key Features
- Fully electric operation
- Foil cap cut from a roll of capping tape in situ
- Foil seal is crimped around the top of the tube
- Active control of seal strength
- Inductive heating
- On board capacity of 20,000 seals
- Cost of foil seal is less than a push on cap
- Can foil cap tubes with a diameter range of 12- 17mm and a height
typically from 65 – 120mm - Compact size
- Diagnostic messaging and reports
