- Automatic inline micro-leak detection / leak testing system for packages based on CO2.
LEAK-MASTER® MAPMAX enables the non-destructive detection of the smallest leaks and seal integrity test, without the costly use of helium as a trace gas - directly after the packaging process.
- CO2 is the most important gas in the packaging of food under a modified atmosphere.
The LEAK-MASTER® MAPMAX uses this CO2 as trace gas. That way it is possible to test the packages for leaks directly after the packing process.
- The LEAK-MASTER® MAPMAX places the packages or complete shipping cases in the test chamber. If the test sample is leaking, the pressure difference will result in a gas flow from the package into the chamber and the CO2-concentration within the chamber rises. The highly sensitive sensor will pick up the changes of the CO2-concentration and thus, even smallest leaks are easily detected.
- After each test cycle (up to 15 cycles per minute) the chamber is ventilated and the test sample is moved on to the following system. If a leak has been detected, several potential-free contacts for communication with external systems are available (e.g. alarms and/or pusher).
- short response time
- high operating speed (max. 15 cycles/min.)
- for single packages or whole shipping cases
- various chamber sizes
- for flexible and rigid packaging
- no calibration required
- easy-to-use intuitive operation – no special skills required
- user-friendly - data and process parameter entry by means of integrated PLC with touchscreen or via remote personal computer
- convenient data administration and evaluation for customer-oriented quality documentation
- remote transmission of results via Ethernet
- easy-to-clean stainless steel housing
