Abstract
An induction sealing conveyor system includes an induction sealing unit coupled to an adjustment mechanism which adjustably positions the induction sealing unit with respect to a conveyor which moves a container to be sealed near a sealing head of the induction sealing unit. The sealing head includes ferrite cores and a litz wire coil formed on the ferrite cores which produces an electromagnetic field for hermetically sealing the container. The sealing head is entirely air cooled within the induction sealing unit.
