Witt Gas Techniques will be exhibiting gas distribution, mixing and analysis equipment for use on Modified Atmosphere Packaging lines at the Total Processing and Packing Exhibition in May 2007

Witt Gas Techniques, the Warrington based gas safety, control, mixing and analysis equipment supplier will be exhibiting on stand 5417 at the Total Processing and Packing Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham from 15-18 May 2007.

The company will be exhibiting and demonstrating their range of gas distribution, mixing and analysis equipment for use on modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) lines.

This equipment will include a brand new fully automated Leak-Master Inline, part of a series of micro-leak detection systems for finding the smallest leaks in individual flexible and rigid food and pharmaceutical packaging based on CO2 detection technology.

This new leak detector is a flexible conveyor system able to check for leaks on single packs, multiple packs and boxed items using an adjustable testing chamber.

Other equipment on show will include the portable 'Leak-Master', a modified atmosphere food packaging (MAP) micro-leak detection system based on CO2 detection technology to find leaks in individual flexible and rigid food packaging.

It has a new touch screen interface and high memory capability, storing settings for up to 1,200 different products as well as names and passwords for 60 users.

A low cost, 'Pack-Vac' leak detection system able to detect leaks in individual packages without the need for any trace gases.

Pack-Vac uses only water and compressed air to detect any leaks and is designed for use with most flexible and rigid packaging found in modified atmosphere packaging as well as other industrial packaging.

Oxybaby V, a hand held gas measuring and analysing system plus a new Oxybaby M for those packaging companies, who still require mobility in their packaging inspection but do not have the need to record measured results and without the requirement to export logged data via an interface to a computer, a feature that is supplied as standard on the Oxybaby V version.

Oxybaby M can be used not only on packaging lines, but in laboratories and stores and is designed to measure the O2 and CO2 content of the smallest individual food packages, such as salami, cheese slices and snacks as well as other food packaging including poultry and salads.
