Leak Detector Enhances Food Safety, Shelf Life of Dry Foods
INFICON (inficon.com) introduces the Contura S400 leak detector for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) as well as flexible packages and will showcase it for the first time in North America at PACK EXPO International 2018.
Already commercialized in Europe, the Contura S400 offers a faster, easier and cost-effective alternative to water baths and gas-based testing. It detects both gross and fine leaks quickly and reliably, avoiding the need for two separate machines. In addition, the system does not use test gas and eliminates the damage to packaging that can often occur with other leak detection methods. The leak detector is ideal for a variety of dry food applications including coffee, meat, poultry, baked goods, snack foods, confectionery/candy, cheese, grains and cereals, prepared food and produce.
