Leak detection for MAP packs

There was no shortage of MAP, or Modified Atmosphere Packaging, technologies at PACK EXPO International, including an impressive leak testing system for individual MAP packages that was talked about at Dansensor, a Mocon company.

LeakProtego is what this system is called. Dansensor debuted it at the IFFA tradeshow in Frankfurt, Germany, last May, and though the equipment itself was not being demonstrated at PACK EXPO, videos and discussion of it were very much a part of the Dansensor booth experience. According to Dansensor it’s a first of its kind not only because it is engineered to test for potential leaks at levels lower than previously possible but also because it lets food processors check for leaks in-line rather than further downstream after the primary packs have already been put into secondary packaging. Detecting leaks early is less labor intensive and less costly.
