About This Manual
This manual contains information for installation, operation, maintenance and repair. It should
be read by installers, operators and maintenance personnel.
This manual covers the UniFoiler 3000 air-cooled series of capsealing systems. Other systems
consist of individual components. Therefore, some references in the manual may not reflect your
particular equipment configuration. Each component of your system will be explained
individually.

Product Description
An induction capsealing system is used to apply a hermetic seal over the mouth of a jar or bottle.
The purpose of the seal is to provide evidence of tampering, preserve freshness of the contents or
prevent the contents from leaking from the bottle.
A special plastic cap containing an aluminum foil disk is used. After the cap is screwed onto the
bottle, it is passed underneath a sealing coil. This coil radiates a high-frequency electro–
magnetic field that causes the aluminum disk to heat up. Plastic laminated to this disk softens
and fuses to the mouth of the bottle.
Features:
•
The power supply employs MOSFET technology. The MOSFET is a rugged, state-of
-the-art transistor device now being used in critical, high power circuitry for military and
commercial aircraft.
•
The power supply enclosure is forced-air cooled and does not require plumbing to a water
cooler system.
