The Dansensor® MAP Check 3 Vacuum gas analyzer provides on-line quality assurance of thermoforming and tray sealing lines by measuring gas composition on a continuous basis. This ensures an effective MAP process line without compromising on quality. This vacuum gas analyzer for Modified Atmosphere Packaging automatically alerts operators and halts the production process if preset gas limits are exceeded. Logging with USB and Ethernet and with PC software for LAN based data collection.
On-line gas analyzers:
The Dansensor MAP Check 3 Vacuum on-line gas analyzer for quality assurance of MAP tray sealing and thermoforming machines is one product in a line of several on-line gas analyzers for MAP processes we offer. The other gas analyzers in the product family are briefly introduced below.
- Dansensor® MAP Check 3
Avoid gas waste with automated on-line Quality Assurance of every package for both horizontal and vertical Modified Atmosphere Packaging flow wrappers. The reliable and highly efficient Dansensor MAP Check 3 will typically reduce gas consumption by 20-50%.
-
Dansensor® MAP Check 3 Pressure
Dansensor MAP Check 3 Pressure provides a simple and efficient solution to gas analysis from any pressurized source. This gas analyzer secures the right blend of gas and tests for impurities in both oxygen and carbon dioxide.
-
Dansensor® ISM-3
With the Dansensor ISM-3 oxygen monitor operators are automatically alerted, and oxygen levels adjusted, if they exceed preset limits. The Dansensor ISM-3 for O2 monitoring offers great accuracy and reliability and is digitally controlled with minimal maintenance requirements.
Benefits
- Stops the packaging machine if preset gas limits are exceeded
