How to choose the ideal induction cooker according to your type of container
The success of induction sealing depends not only on the liner. Choosing the right induction sealing machine for the type of container is also key. Factors such as the bottle material (PET, HDPE, glass), the type of cap (screw-on, snap-on, or with a metal liner), and the production volume all influence the selection of the correct equipment.
At SellaEmpaq, we help you identify which machine best suits your operation to achieve an airtight, efficient, and professional seal.
Why is it important to choose the right induction cooktop?
A poorly selected machine can lead to sealing errors, liner waste, leaks, or container compatibility issues. Choosing the right machine ensures:
-
Uniform and reliable sealing
-
Longer product lifespan
-
Adequate production speed
-
Full compatibility with aluminum or multi-layer liners
What type of container do you have?
1. PET plastic containers
-
Common in foods, beverages, and supplements.
-
They require moderate temperatures to avoid deformation.
-
Ideal: induction machine with adjustable power control.
2. HDPE (high-density polyethylene) containers
-
They withstand higher temperatures than PET.
-
Widely used in cleaning products, chemicals and cosmetics.
-
They require a slightly longer sealing cycle.
-
Compatible with manual or automatic machines depending on the volume.
3. Glass containers
-
Used in gourmet, pharmaceutical and premium cosmetic products.
-
Very thermally stable material.
-
Ideal for automatic machines with reinforced heads and rapid cooling systems.
What type of lid do you use?
Screw caps with liner
-
The most common ones for induction machines.
-
Just make sure to use aluminum foil liners.
-
Compatible with manual (20–120 mm) and automatic (Sella 1500/2000) machines.
Pressure-fit lids
-
Not always applicable to induction sealing.
-
They require a liner compatibility check.
-
It is best to use pressure-sensitive seals or EPE liners, provided they do not have a metal insert.
Aluminum or specially coated lids
-
They require careful power calibration.
-
We recommend prior technical advice.
What production volume do you handle?
| Estimated production | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Low (fewer than 500 shipments/day) | Manual sealer (portable, economical) |
| Medium (500–2,000 units/day) | Seal 1500 automatic (30 ppm) |
| High (more than 2,000 shipments/day) | Automatic Seal 2000 (up to 40 ppm) |
