The Relco FCS-E is an automatic linear-indexing foil cutting and sealing machine suitable for medium volume applications. Typical output is 70 sealed components per minute in the four sealing head configuration.
An induction seal can be made directly onto a shallow container or other component without the conventional requirement of a cap and screw thread. The FCS-E can be configured to seal a variety of containers or closures made from plastics, glass, metal or ceramic.
The inline design allows for a compact size with convenient access to foil reels and tooling. This machine can be equipped with various attachments e.g. filling station, seal inspection unit or gas flushing.
Where required, print register die cutting delivers precisely formed seals from reel fed material with printed artwork centralised on the foil. This feature enables the seal to become a more attractive part of the packaging with the possibility to add branding, instructions, ingredients or promotional messages.
Every FCS machine is configured to customer needs. The FCS-E could be designed from three up to five sealing heads to meet the required output levels.
Relco direct induction sealing technology provides improved seal consistency, lower sealing time, reduced energy consumption and greater operator safety. The FCS-E machine uses the patented Relco ‘Punch&Seal’ single stroke ceramic foil cutting, locating and sealing tooling, well known within industry for delivering high quality seals and reliable operation.
