Features of the Pack Check System:
Extremely sensitive even to the smallest seal
defect
The Pack Check works by subjecting the package under test to a
controlled pressure difference in a sealed chamber. If the package is
leaking then a small amount of the carbon dioxide in the package will
leak into the chamber. The proprietary CO2 detector used in the Pack
Check can sense a change in concentration within the test chamber of
even a few ppm. This makes the instrument extremely fast and sensitive
even to small leaks.
Easy to use - train your operators in less
than 5 minutes
The Pack Check system is very easy to use. It can be configured for
an operator who has no knowledge of the workings of instrument. The
operator simply inserts the package into the chamber and closes the
lid. The Pack Check tests the package according to settings that have
been previously programmed in by a supervisor. The Pack Check records
the test result in memory and lets the operator know if the package
was good (green light) or bad (red light). Its that simple. Even
setting up the instrument is easy - all the supervisor has to do is
follow the instructions in the simple menu interface on the LCD
display.
Non Destructive Saves time - increases yield
Packages that pass the Pack Check test can be returned to the line.
There is no damage to the packaged or its content - no moisture - no
harsh treatment.
Visual inspection of package during test
A unique feature of the Pack Check is the transparent lid which
allows the operator to watch the package during a test. In addition to
leak testing this is particularly useful for determining what happens
to the package under extreme stresses. The Pack Check can be used as a
seal integrity tester whereby the package in stressed in increments of
pressure difference and the operator can observe the deformation and
destruction of the package under these conditions. You could for
example simulate what happens to your package as it passes over the
Rockies. ( at 12000 feet altitude the atmospheric pressure is only 650
mbar. At this altitude your package must endure a 350 mbar pressure
differential.)
Large test chamber for single or batch
testing
The Pack Check has a large test chamber so that you can accommodate
large packages such as wholesale packs or insert and test more than
one small package at a time. Of course batch testing won't tell you
which package is leaking in the batch, but it can be a safeguard for
important runs such as sales samples where you want to certain that
every package is a good one.
Store setup information for many products
A given product is set up in the Pack Check with a test program. This
test program determines the duration and severity of the test and sets
up the leak levels that will be considered acceptable or unacceptable
for that particular product. Different products or package types will
require different testing scenarios. These test programs are made by
the supervisor and can be password protected from the operator. The
Pack Check can store up to 10 such programs.
Built in record keeping for faultless QA
records
The Pack Check has a built in memory, and data logger. It can store
the set up information for up to 10 different products and for each
product type it can gather test data in 10 different batches. The
results of every test for each batch are collated and stored and can
be printed out or downloaded to a computer on the RS232 data link.
They can also be viewed at any time on the LCD display panel.
Clean design for the food manufacturing
environment
From its clean stainless steel construction to the easy to wipe
membrane control panel the Pack Check was designed for the food
industry. The instrument is mounted on large lockable castors so that
it can be moved about the plant or from line to line. There are
already more than one hundred Pack Checks in use world wide in the
food industry.
