See Pillar's Induction Sealing Systems In-Action:
For over 50 years, Pillar Technologies has been recognized globally as a worldwide leading manufacturer of high quality induction sealing systems. The packaging and processing industry heavily relies on Pillar's technologically advanced induction sealers to deter from pilferage, prevent leaks, provide tamper evidence to customers, and even extend the shelf-life of certain food and beverage products. At Pack Expo International, Pillar Technologies will be showcasing its C-Series Hand-Held Induction Sealer, its flagship iFoiler™ Induction Sealer, and the all new iFoiler+™ Induction Sealer, which will be making its trade show debut for the first time.
Pillar's C-Series Hand-Held Induction Sealer utilizes a 1 kW power supply and is the smallest member of Pillar's line of induction sealers. This hand-held sealer provides flexibility and portability in sealing applications, making it the perfect solution for startups, research and development labs, and low-volume sealing operations.
The iFoiler™ Induction Sealer is Pillar's flagship induction sealer that utilizes a 2.25 kW power supply which is 10% smaller and 30% lighter than previous generation systems. This state-of-the-art induction sealer is compact and lightweight to deliver the highest level of functionality when it comes to induction sealing.
Utilizing a 4.5 kW power supply, the iFoiler+™ Induction Sealer incorporates all of the same features and benefits as Pillar's flagship iFoiler™ Induction Sealer, only with a larger power supply. This makes it the ultimate cap sealing solution for high-volume food and beverage packagers, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies, and liquid chemical packagers that all need a larger power supply to ensure high quality seals on their products.
