Growing manufacturer of health supplements uses induction technology to seal an innovative container

Lindens Apothecary, a manufacturer of health supplements, was faced with the challenge of sealing a rectangular-shaped container. The company contacted Enercon Industries for a solution and integrated one of our best-selling sealers to its production line.

​

Enercon Industries has helped create a perfect seal for an innovative pharmaceutical product.

​

Lindens Apothecary, a British manufacturer and packer of health supplements, approached Enercon Industries with an issue – they were struggling to seal foil to the neck of a rectangular-shaped container.

​

“Health supplements require a total seal, both to protect the product from the atmosphere and to reassure customers that the product has not been tampered with,”

​

“However, the rectangular neck on the bottle presented us with problems as most induction sealing equipment is designed for a round neck.”

​

Lindens required a solution to meet the new packaging requirements and ensure a strong and reliable seal for these innovative containers.

​

“As many of our products are ultimately sold mail-order, damaged seals could be a large and expensive problem.”

The company started researching induction heat sealing machines and approached a number of industry contacts for advice.

​

“I was aware that Enercon’s induction sealing machines had a reputation for longevity and reliability.

​

“It was clear that Brian had a wealth of experience which he was more than happy to share with us.

​

“We’re not engineers, nor are we packaging specialists, so Brian’s advice was needed, welcome and critical.”

​

After discussing the project in depth, Lindens purchased a Super Seal™ 75.

​

Brian Tyndall commented: “Because the container is designed to be thin enough to be posted through the average UK letterbox, it can be difficult to seal.

​

“The difficulty with a rectangular shape means it is vital to create the right balance of energy around the lid of the container without causing the seal to scorch.

​

“However, Enercon has created a unique tunnel coil that allows for even distribution of energy over the neck of the container to achieve the perfect seal without overheating.”

​

Talking about the Super Seal™ 75, Mr Broadhead of Lindens added: “It took less than an hour to set up and start running.

​

“It delivers 100% reliable seals that do not blow, even if the finished product is dropped or roughly handled.

​

“I would happily recommend the product, the pre-sales support and the post-sales service we have received from Enercon.”
