Information

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).

Benefits:

short response time
high operating speed (max. 15 cycles/min.) depending on the type of packaging, the leak size to be detected, the CO2 content (min. 10 %) and gas volume in the package, and the chamber size.
for single packages or whole shipping cases
2 chamber/belt conveyor widths
various chamber lengths and heights, optimised for the packaging to be tested
for flexible and rigid packaging
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 with acrylic doors in the upper area

Caution! This equipment is not suitable for the checking of packaging featuring O2 content greater than 20.9% (fresh meat, for example).
