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
This new leak detector is a flexible conveyor system, synchronised within the packaging line with fully automated product feeding, able to check for leaks on single packs, multiple packs and boxed items using an adjustable testing chamber.
The equipment is able to operate at up to 15 cycles per minute and after each cycle the chamber is ventilated and the tested sample is moved to the next operation on the packaging line.
If a leak is detected an alarm is raised, a reject facility is also available as an option.
