On-line MAP Gas Analyzers - Dansensor® MAP Check 3

Description

MAP Package gas analyzers for quality assurance and gas flushing control
Our online MAP gas analyzers continuously extract and monitor packaging gas from the Modified Atmosphere Packaging line to ensure that the equipment and gas mixing system deliver a desirable protective atmosphere which meets the requirements for prolonged shelf-life products within the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industry.

The Dansensor series of on-line gas analyzers are equipped with user-friendly touch-screen interfaces and offer excellent data-logging and traceability options, which make them suitable for:

  • MAP Quality Assurance
  • Control of gas flushing processes
  • Streamlining Modified Atmosphere Packaging processes

Compared to quality control, an on-line gas analyzer is a cost-effective solution which minimizes the use of excess packaging gas and reduces the need for time-consuming repackaging of products.

Dansensor® MAP Check 3
Dansensor® MAP Check 3 continuous gas analyzer is designed to precisely monitor gas content on vertical and horizontal flow packaging machines.

  • Major gas savings with optional GasSave function or when paired with Dansensor® MAP Mix Provectus® gas mixer
  • On-line Quality Assurance of every package – more efficiently and with reduced labor and waste costs compared to manual testing
  • logging and displaying of actual gas consumption with the GasSave function for easy traceability
  • automatic stopping of the packaging machine if preset limits are exceeded, helping to avoid recalls and repacking
  • Reduced CO2 levels in the work area to protect employees


Dansensor® MAP Check 3 Vacuum
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. 

  • Oxygen or combined oxygen and carbon dioxide measurement
  • Continuous monitoring and effective control of every packaging cycle
  • Automatic production halt in case of exceeded gas limits to avoid recalls or repackaging
  • User configurable alarms for low and high gas concentrations

Headspace MAP Gas Analyzers - Dansensor CheckMate 4 & CheckPoint 4

Headspace analysis is conducted to ensure that the residual oxygen in a product complies with predefined limits.

For packaged foods and other goods, exceeding these limits increases the risk of growth and proliferation of bacteria or mould, which causes spoilage and results in shorter product shelf-life. This is a vital part of the Quality Control of Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) products.

The Dansensor line of headspace gas analyzers have a wide range of applications, including:

  • Accurate residual O2 headspace gas analysis
  • O2 headspace gas analysis in the presence of high CO2
  • MAP audit applications
  • MAP Quality Control

Dansensor CheckMate 4

Accurately measuring the headspace gas levels contributes to ensuring a repeatedly high Modified Atmosphere Packaging quality and with Dansensor® CheckMate 4, our benchtop analyzer for O2 and CO2, operators can tell immediately whether the gas composition meets the required levels.

  • Options for both O2 and CO2/O2 analysis
  • Automatic data logging
  • Easy operation with a 5” color display touchscreen
  • Simple data transfer with CheckMate PC Software
  • Exchangeable sensor module for easy maintenance and less downtime

Dansensor CheckPoint 4

With Dansensor® CheckPoint 4 CO2 and O2 levels can quickly be checked for Modified Atmosphere Packages in all shapes and sizes. The handheld gas analyzer is easy to use, fast at processing data, and is a reliable and robust solution for quality control

  • Improved process efficiency
  • Affordable quality control
  • O2 or combined O2/CO2 measurements
  • Data collection and transfer via WiFi

Gas Mixers - Dansensor MAP Mix Provectus

Get the right gas mixture and flow rate using our Gas Mixers for Modified Atmosphere Packages. We offer gas mixers for CO2, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Argon gases.The right mixture of gases is vital to the freshness and appearance of MAP products. Therefore, working with Modified Atmosphere Packaging requires gas blending equipment with the capacity to deliver the right gas mixture at the appropriate flow rate. This is essential to avoid dilution and achieve complete flushing.The Dansensor line of gas mixers allows for operators to:

  • Achieve an appropriate flow rate
  • Obtain the right mix of CO2, O2, N2, and Ar
  • Control and automatically adjust gas pressure

Delivering Modified Atmosphere Packaging products with the correct gas mixture is key to prolonging the shelf-life of food, beverage and pharmaceuticals and in this process; the right gas blending system is indispensable.

Dansensor® MAP Mix Provectus®
The Dansensor® MAP Mix Provectus® gas blending system provides a smarter way to mix MAP gas. Relying on an innovative mixing principle, the Dansensor MAP Mix Provectus provides advanced reliability and sets new standards for user-friendliness, compared to similar products on the market. It constantly notifies operators with vital information such as the current gas flow, total gas consumption and actual MAP gas mix.

Additional benefits with the Dansensor MAP Mix Provectus:

  • Full integration with Dansensor® MAP Check 3
  • Options for mixing 2-3 gases, including O2, N2, CO2, and Ar
  • Data logging of gas consumption, date, time and gas mix

Leak Detectors - Dansensor LeakPointer H2O & LeakPointer 3+

Our leak detectors increase the speed of production and minimize the risk of undetected package integrity problems that result in unwanted returns and damaged customer relationships.

AMETEK MOCON ’s range of package leak equipment provides an opportunity to:

  • Make fast and accurate seal integrity testing
  • Minimize the risk of undetected integrity problem
  • Define proper leak levels, hole sizes and test seal strength

We provide both on-line and off-line package leak detectors. 

Dansensor® LeakPointer® H2O
The Dansensor® LeakPointer® H2O  is a package leak detector which helps you pinpoint even the smallest leaks. This instrument helps you conduct visual leak tests (bubble test) on all types of flexible, semi-rigid and rigid packages, regardless of whether they have ample headspace, like MAP packages, or use other packaging methods with little or no headspace, such as vacuum or skin packaging.

  • Find exactly where leaks are located
  • Test packages with or without headspace 
  • Simple installation and operation
  • Mounted lid, removable tub and drain hose for convenience and easy cleaning
  • Performs bubble emission test (ASTM D3078)

Dansensor® LeakPointer® 3+
Dansensor® LeakPointer® 3+ leaves no leaks unnoticed. It is highly accurate and able to carry out non-destructive leak detections of leak sizes down to 50 µm. This makes it indispensable in MAP-lines where undetected leaks can be costly and cause damage to the customer relationships. The Dansensor LeakPointer 3+ is approved to carry out leak detection in the food industry.

  • Great options for collecting and sharing data
  • User-friendly interface
  • Hole size matters! Get instant calculation of leak hole size
  • Short test cycle (down to 10 seconds)
  • Opportunity to test multiple and large packages at once
