An induction sealing machine provides a reliable and tamper-evident seal for bottles and containers across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. By using electromagnetic induction, these machines bond foil seals to container rims, helping protect product integrity, extend shelf life, and prevent leaks during transport.
The induction sealing process occurs after filling and capping and involves four key steps:
- Cap application – A cap with a foiler liner is applied to the filled container.
- Electromagnetic heating – The container passes under an induction sealing head that generates a controlled electromagnetic field.
- Foil activation – The aluminium foil heats rapidly, melting the polymer layer beneath it.
- Bond formation – The molten polymer bonds to the container rim, creating a secure seal as it cools.
Because the process is contact fee, induction sealing is highly consistent and repeatable at production speed.

Induction Sealing FAQs
What is induction sealing?
Induction sealing is a non-contact process that uses an electromagnetic field to heat a foil liner inside a cap, bonding it to the container’s opening to create a hermetic seal.
How does induction sealing work?
After filling and capping, the container passes under an induction coil. The coil’s electromagnetic field heats the foil liner, melting its polymer layer so it bonds to the container rim and forms a seal when cooled.
Why should I use induction sealing on my products?
It enhances tamper evidence, leak prevention, freshness/shelf life preservation and pilferage protection, which are important for quality control and consumer confidence.
What types of industries benefit from induction sealing?
Industries include food and beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, health and beauty, plus many others needing secure packaging.
Can induction sealing improve product shelf life?
Yes – by creating an airtight barrier that helps protect against oxygen and moisture ingress.
Does Packserv offer portable or hand-held induction sealers?
Yes – compact C Series and portable units are available for smaller operations or businesses with varied onsite sealing needs.
What makes Pillar induction sealers unique?
Pillar offers air-cooled (waterless) systems, interchangeable coils and repairable components, reducing footprint, maintenance needs, and long-term ownership cost.
What is the iFoiler induction sealer?
The iFoiler induction Sealer provided by Packserv is Pillar’s flagship sealing system, featuring a responsive touchscreen, advanced control logic, and flexible sealing performance for a wide range of packaging applications.
Can the sealing system handle different cap sizes?
Yes. Pillar’s universal Sealing Coil allows flexibility across a variety of cap sizes without frequent cap changes, reducing downtime and costs.
Can induction sealing be monitored for quality?
Yes, optional detection and verification systems (e.g. missing foil detection, reject devices and alarm indicators) help ensure consistent sealing quality.
