New non-destructive leak tester for packaging
Witt Gas Techniques has introduced a new system for non-destructive testing for leaks in individual flexible and rigid food and pharmaceutical packaging based on CO2 detection technology
CO2 detection technology finds the smallest leaks
New Leak-Master from Witt Gas Techniques uses CO2 detection technology to find the smallest leaks in individual flexible and rigid food and pharmaceutical packaging
The increased memory capability is able to store the settings for up to 1,200 different products as well as names and passwords for 60 users.
Using operator friendly data entry by means of the touch screen, Leak-Master uses ceramic sensors for CO2 detection to find out if the protective atmosphere (MAP) used in the packaging is escaping.
As well as being non-destructive, the use of Helium, an expensive tracer gas, is not necessary.
No special skills are needed to operate 'Leak-Master' and depending on the set test parameters, it is possible to determine micro leaks.
The durable stainless steel housing with a plexiglass lid is designed for use in high production environments.
The measurement chamber comes in various sizes from 85mm x 160mm x 365mm up to 225mm x 775mm x 665mm to meet the individual requirements of packaging companies.
With the lid closed, Leak-Master creates a vacuum and the test results are displayed on a monitor after the defined measurement time has elapsed.
Being compact, Leak-Master can be set up easily and quickly anywhere.
The operator defines the relevant product parameters, including leak level, measurement time and vacuum level using the touch screen.
An optional barcode reader is also available, using laser optics to read barcodes on packaging.
It then transmits the data to the Leak-Master.
This means there is no requirement to manually recall saved product data or test parameters.
The barcode reader can also identify users and log them on automatically.
Administration and analysis of data is simple through integration with pharmaceutical and food production quality management systems.
Leak-Master can be interfaced to a PC or PDA via Ethernet or Wireless LAN, eliminating manual data recording.
