  • Publication number: 20140075884
    Abstract: There is described a heating induction sealing device for forming a seal in a packaging material comprising an electrically conductive element and advancing along a direction; sealing device comprises one first inductive element and one second inductive element; first inductive element comprises a first portion facing second inductive element and defining with second inductive element a passage for packaging material; and a second portion; sealing device is selectively arrangeable in a first configuration, in which alternate currents flow within first and second inductive element; first portion and second inductive element are configured to generate a first magnetic flux transversally to direction, when sealing device is arranged in first configuration; second portion is configured to generate, in use, a second magnetic flux with a main component parallel to direction, when sealing device is arranged in first configuration.

  • Publication number: 20140069064
    Abstract: There is described a heating induction sealing device for forming a seal in a packaging material comprising an electrically conductive element and advancing, in use, along a first direction; the sealing device comprises at least one inductive element; inductive element comprises a first and second leg within which alternate currents flow, in use, in opposite direction; first leg is configured to induce, in use, a first portion of an eddy current within an area to be sealed of packaging material; second leg faces first leg along a second direction; second leg is configured to induce, in use, a second portion of eddy current within area to be sealed of packaging material; first and second leg have a length in a third direction parallel, in use, to first direction and transversal to second direction; first and second leg are nonsymmetrical with respect to third direction, so that seal is formed as continuous along second direction.
