Ishida AirScan leak detector

Heat and Control has available Ishida Europe’s AirScan leak detector, designed to help manufacturers minimise spoilage in pre-packed retail products.

AirScan is designed for use with a wide variety of foods, including fresh, cooked and cured meat, poultry, seafood, fruit, salads, vegetables, cheese and ready meals. It uses advanced laser technology to identify leaks of CO2 from holes as small as 0.5 mm in sealed modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) packs at speeds of up to 180 packs/min. It has been designed to be easily integrated into existing production lines.

According to Ishida, packaging leaks have been associated with almost 500,000 tonnes of food wasted in production each year. Compromised packaging can lead to bacterial spoilage, reduced shelf life and a rise in complaints and returns. This can result in increased cost of production, loss of brand image and reputation, and the heightened risk of retailer fines.

The leak detector offers fast, reliable and non-destructive identification of leaks of CO2 and has been designed to be highly effective in fast-moving production environments. By maintaining the optimum gas fill for each pack, the leak detector provides consistent product quality and allows production problems to be identified and rectified quickly.
