Patent number: 8366859Abstract: A method for sealing a first packaging material laminate, comprised of at least one layer of magnetizable particles and a sealable layer, to a second packaging laminate involves facing the sealable layer towards the second laminate, providing an alternating magnetic field to the laminates in a sealing zone, thereby generating magnetic hysteresis losses in the laminate having the magnetizable particles, which losses create heat substantially melting the sealable layer in the sealing zone, and applying a sealing pressure to the first and second laminate to cause the first and second laminate to be pressed together in the sealing zone, thereby sealing the laminates to each other.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.A.Inventors: Magnus Wijk, Magnus Rabe, Gert Holmström, Mats Qvarford

Publication number: 20080110560Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for sealing a first packaging material laminate (10) to a second packaging laminate (12), at least the first laminate (10) comprising at least one layer of magnetizable particles and a sealable layer (34). The method is characterized in facing the sealable layer (34) towards the second laminate (12), providing an alternating magnetic field to the laminates in a sealing zone, thereby generating magnetic hysteresis losses in the laminate (10) comprising the magnetizable particles, which losses create heat substantially melting the sealable layer (34) in the sealing zone, and applying a sealing pressure to the first and second laminate (10, 12), which pressure causes the first and second laminate (10, 12) to be pressed together in the sealing zone, thereby sealing the laminates (10, 12) to each other. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2005Publication date: May 15, 2008Applicant: Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.A.Inventors: Magnus Wijk, Magnus Rabe, Gert Holmstrom, Mats Qvarford
