Method for induction sealing packaging material

摘要

A method of producing separate packages by sealing a continuous tube of a packaging material, the packaging material having a layer of metal foil and a layer of thermoplastic material on one side thereof in which opposed portions of the packaging material are juxtaposed with the layers of thermoplastic material facing each other. The two portions are pressed together along a transverse area by means including a coil supplied with a high frequency alternating current to produce a high frequency electromagnetic alternating field to induce heat producing eddy currents in the metal foil and said heat is transmitted to the thermoplastic material to fuse same and form two spaced tight, mechanically durable seals and cutting between the seals.
