iFoiler™ Induction Sealer

The patented iFoiler™ Induction Sealer is Pillar's flagship induction sealing system that utilizes a 2.25 kW power supply that 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.

The iFoiler™ Induction Sealer features include:

  • Highly Functional Touch Screen Interface: The iFoiler features a highly functional touch screen interface with multiple language functions including English, French, Dutch, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Extra functions integrated into the microprocessor, such as memory functions to save power settings and conveyor speeds, make the iFoiler simple to use, efficient, and ensure better quality. 5.7’’ TFT QVGA full-color touch screen HMI with simple, uncluttered display to improve operator efficiency; includes password protected supervisory settings, diagnostic help screens, up-loadable event log, recipe menus, intuitive setup screens, and multiple language accessibility and support
  • Protects Against Washdown Processes: IP65 ready for full protection against washdown processes; the patented high efficiency stainless steel and anodized aluminum inverter saves energy and puts more power to work where you need it
  • Mounted to Durable Mobile Cart: features a portable stand with welded construction, 4 independent steering roller bearing casters for mobility, leveling pads for stability, 20'' of height adjustment, a coil height indicator with accuracy to 0.001'' - ensuring repeatability and consistency with coil height adjustment, and enables one sealer to serve multiple lines
  • Quick Connect System: allows for full compatibility and integration with our full line of Optional Cap Sealing Equipment without having to open the cabinet - allowing your sealing to do more as you grow
  • Easy Product Changeover: easy-turn pivot adjust knob and alignment gauge simplifies set-up for cap changeover, and the ability to save sealing programs enables fast SKU changeover
  • Ability to Seal All Cap Styles & Diameters: full integration with our patented high efficiency Trans Coils - Universal iCoil™ or inFinity™ Tunnel Coil
  • IGBT Technology: features rugged IGBT Technology and proprietary control circuitry for years of trouble-free operation

 

Energy Efficient and Sustainable

During the design process of the iFoiler, the Pillar team aimed to create a more sustainable sealing option for clients that maximizes energy efficiency without sacrificing sealing quality and performance. The result is an induction sealer that's highly powerful while still being energy efficient, compact, lightweight, and multifunctional. And because Pillar is dedicated to a greener, more sustainable future, a key aspect of the iFoiler's sustainable design is the reduction in the total amount of materials used. Thanks to digital technology, the iFoiler has fewer internal components, a lower overall machine footprint and weight, and reduced energy consumption. All of this means a lower cost of ownership for the iFoiler, and reduced energy usage for your plant's packaging operations. 

 

 

Modularity and Flexibility in your Production Lines

Making the iFoiler even more modular and flexible is the ability to easily switch out sealing coils without the use of tools. Multiple interchangeable sealing coils are availanle for different applications, with Pillar's traditional Universal Sealing Coil, as well as the unique Tunnel Coil for unique caps that don't fit a traditional flat coil. When you need to change coils, it's as easy as loosening the thumb screws, popping off the bracket, sliding out the old coil, and sliding in the new one. Then, just replace the bracket and thumb screws, and your iFoiler can get back to work, providing high quality induction cap seals.

 

 

Application-Driven Induction Sealing

For many packagers, such as contract packagers, switching applications can be a weekly, daily, or even hourly occurrence. Because of this, packagers require absolute flexibility and modularity within their operations. The iFoiler Induction Sealer is designed with this in mind, featuring the capability to store 50 different applications that can accessed through the easy-to-use touch screen interface. This drastically reduces changeover time for sealing applications, improving efficiency and productivity. These applications are stored in the memory of the iFoiler, and can be called up independently with selected parameters. For example, when packaging two different products with different opening sizes and chemistries, parameters such as sealing power and conveyor speed can be individually adjusted for each product, then saved to memory. Once these parameters have been saved, changeover on the sealer can be done in seconds. Changing applications can be locked by production supervisors or managers using a passcode to the risk of operator error by ensuring that only certified personnel can access and change applications.
