Product catalog summary

Introduction
Pillar Technologies, established in 1966, is a leader in induction sealing systems, known for their performance, reliability, and quality. The Unifoiler™ air-cooled induction sealing systems are designed to provide tamper evidence, preserve freshness, and prevent leakage across various industries.

Product Specifications
The Unifoiler™ systems offer a wide range of power outputs suitable for different applications, including high-speed filling lines. The Universal sealing coil technology allows sealing of closures from 10 to 120mm with a single coil, reducing downtime and the need for multiple machines.

Technological Innovations
Pillar Technologies introduced the first solid-state induction sealing systems in 1973 and has since pioneered several innovations, including the first transistorized air-cooled power supply and the Universal sealing coil technology. The Unifoiler™ range, introduced in 1997, was the first fully air-cooled induction sealing system.

Features of the Unifoiler Range

Independent power supply and sealing head for flexibility.
Universal, tunnel, and hand-held coils for various closure diameters.
Compact, lightweight stainless steel design for mobility.
Quick Change coil connections for fast changeover.
Precision coil height adjust controls.
Smart system for automatic power supply mode setting.
Microprocessor-controlled, solid-state IGBT technology.
Soft touch membrane control panel with display and indicators.
Optional features like missing foil detector and total bottle count.
100% air-cooled system, eliminating the need for water cooling.

Induction Sealing Process
Induction sealing is a process for hermetically sealing plastic and glass containers with foil, offering benefits like extended freshness, tamper evidence, leak prevention, and improved presentation. The process involves passing a container under an induction coil, which heats the foil liner, bonding it to the container to create a hermetic seal within seconds.

F ounded in 1966, Pillar Technolo g ies is renowned throu g hout the world f or the per f ormance, reliability and q uality of its induction sealing systems. Customers in many different industry sectors have relied upon Pillarيs t echnolo g ically advanced induction sealin g systems to provide tamper evidence, to preserve f reshness and to p rotect aga i nst l ea k age. The Unifoilerܙ air-cooled induction sealin g systems offer the widest ran g e of power outputs to suit all applications, ri g ht up to the f astest f illin g linespeeds. Pillarʼs unique Universal sealing coil technology combines flexibility with sealin g e ff iciency: allowin g you to seal closures f rom 10 to 120mm witha single sealing coil, thereby reducing downtime or the need for dedicated m achines f or di ff erent pack sizes . Pillar Technolo g ies first introduced solid state induction sealin g systems t o the world in 1973. S ince then we have introduced a number of ʻfirsts ʼ t o the market: the first transistorised air-cooled power supply in 1983; our p roprietary Universal sealin g coil tec h nolo g y in 1985; t h e Foiler water-coole d IGBT-based induction system in 1982 and then in 1997 the first fully air- c ooled induction sealin g system the Uni f oiler֙ ran g e. We subsequently i ntroduced the most powerful fully air-cooled induction sealing systems to t he market.
