Leveraging the principles of induction sealing, Lepel equipment provides a hermetic seal that effectively prevents leakage, tampering, and contamination, enhancing the shelf life and reliability of packaged goods. This technology uses electromagnetic fields to heat the foil liners inside caps, creating a bond with the container's rim without direct contact or applying heat to the product itself. The result is a strong, tamper-evident seal that reassures consumers about the product's safety and quality.
Capsealing History
Lepel Capsealing was involved in the first induction sealing application back in the late 1960’s. A company packaging photo chemicals, FRP Chemical in NJ, thought they had solved a leakage problem caused by glass breakage. Their first solution was to change to a plastic bottle and cap. They later found out that the plastic caps stress relieved over time and loosened during shipment. The leakage problem returned. FRP Chemical’s Packaging Engineer, Jack Palmer, along with 3M and Lepel, created the process of induction sealing, the “Lepel Seal” as it was originally called.
Lepel sold induction sealing equipment to various industries for leak proof protection for over fifteen years prior to the Tylenol tampering that occurred in 1984. Following that incident, The Food and Drug Administration responded by mandating tamper evident packaging. Because Lepel’s induction sealing was easy and quick to implement it was brought to a new level of awareness and ubiquity.
