Witt - Package Leak Detector

Applications & Use Cases

• Detecting leaks in sealed food packages to ensure product integrity and extend shelf life.
• Quality control for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to verify gas retention.
• Testing packaging seals for products in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
• Ensuring compliance with food safety standards by identifying compromised packaging.
• Assessing the effectiveness of packaging machinery and sealing processes.

Typical Specifications

Typical test method

Vacuum decay or pressure differential, often using a water bath or dry chamber.

Power supply

Commonly single-phase 230V, 50Hz, with some units requiring a compressed air supply.

Typical package size range

Units are typically designed to accommodate various package sizes, from small pouches to larger trays, often with interchangeable test chambers.

Detection sensitivity

Capable of detecting very small leaks, often down to micron-sized perforations, depending on the system.

Cycle time

Typically ranges from a few seconds to a couple of minutes per test, depending on package size and required sensitivity.

Footprint

Benchtop units are common for this class of equipment, requiring a relatively small amount of space in a quality control lab or production area.
