Manufactured food products need to be packed in gas-filled pouches to ensure that they reach the customers without being damaged or spoiled. A well-designed, accurate, and reliable seal leak detection system in place guarantees that gas-filled pouches are intact and tightly sealed, which will help to keep the products fresh and avoid cross-contamination.


<h2>A seal tester for an accurate gas leak detection of pouches</h2>
The SealTester-MAP1 and MAP3 from FLI are gas leak inspection machines specifically designed to detect weak seam of gas-filled pouches, such as those for crisps, salads, or peanuts.

Both systems possess three identical measuring units all functioning underneath one measuring belt. The three units measure and press the pouch to allow gas to escape if there is a weak seam. Once the pouch enters the package seal tester, the first measuring unit applies a predefined pressure to check for faults. Then, the pouch enters the second measuring unit to check the thickness of the package by applying slightly more pressure. The third unit rejects the pouch when there is too much pressure and thickness difference between the units.

The MAP1 come in small size and can check a maximum of 80 pouches per minute. The MAP3 also comes in medium size and can process between 150 to 180 pouches per minute. The smaller system mounts on an existing conveyor while the bigger one is in-line. Even though the MAP1 has a lower accuracy level, it calls for higher belt-speed than the MAP3. Both seal testers can flatten pouches and prevent oversized pouches from entering the case packing system.

Industrial inspection equipment is used for checking compliance with health, safety, and quality control standards. For that reason, inspection systems are most commonly utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industry but, they are also used in other industries too. Inspection solutions are often integrated into a production process or production line. Visual inspection systems perform checks to detect variation in size, shape, and color and ensure the presence of labels and closures. Check-weigh systems help ensure that product packages are not under or over-filled. Metal detection systems can help guard against the presence of foreign objects in product containers and X-ray inspection equipment is used to detect physical defects and to ensure high quality package seal integrity.

Inspection

Drawing samples and testing them for conformity with preset quality standards allows manufacturing units to produce a consistent quality of the product. In a batch process, sample testing systems ensures that each batch meets the specified standards. In a continuous process, product and materials testing helps in the early identification of quality issues, saving significant time and resources, and preventing a sub-standard product from reaching the market. The selection of industrial testing equipment depends on the identification of key quality parameters. These parameters may include volume, weight, viscosity, hardness, particle size distribution, sterility, gauge and containment, among other parameters. Testing machinery need regular calibration to ensure that the parameters being tested are accurate. Some of the more common testing solutions include thermal imagers, scratch testers, optical inspectors and texture analyzers.
