- Seals a wide variety of containers
- Output speeds up to 95 containers per minute
- Accurate to +/- 0.5mm
- Food grade machine finish
The Relco FCS-F is an automatic linear-indexing foil cutting and sealing machine suitable for medium volume applications. Typical output is 70 sealed containers per minute in the four sealing head configuration.
An induction seal can be made directly onto container or bottle without the conventional requirement of a cap and screw thread. The FCS-F can be configured to seal a variety of containers made from plastics, glass, metal or ceramic.
The system can be configured to operate with different sized containers using tool-free quick change ‘Punch&Seal’ cartridges. In conjunction with the ‘Recipes’ function it is possible to save settings and quickly adjust the machine set-up to suit the container in use.
Typical use of the F model is within the food & beverage industry where seal quality and consistency are important. The inline design allows for a compact size with convenient access to foil reels and tooling.
Every FCS machine is configured to customer needs. The FCS-F can be designed from three up to five sealing heads to meet required performance.
Relco direct induction sealing technology provides improved seal consistency, lower sealing time, reduced energy consumption and greater operator safety. The FCS-F 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.
