Leak detector for fresh food

A new leak detector for fresh foods will be one of the highlights of the Ishida Europe stand at Scanpack (Göteborg, October 20th-23th 2015), where the company will underline its capabilities in all areas of the packing line including weighing, bagmaking, tray sealing and quality control.

The Ishida AirScan leak detector offers fast and 100% reliable and completely non-destructive identification of leaks in MAP packs which use CO2 as part of the MAP process.  It is ideal for a wide variety of products including fresh meat, poultry, seafood, ready meals, fruit, salad, vegetables as well as cheese and other dairy products.

Advanced also the Ishida’s unique IX-G2 X-ray system, that uses a dual energy technology to easily distinguish contaminants from the product, even in the most difficult applications. The IX-G2 produces two images; these are then compared, which helps to eliminate the background effect caused by the product itself and improves the detection of low-density contaminants such as bone fragments (for example the bone and meat of a chicken). The system can also be used for overlapping products, where a possible contaminant may be obscured by the product, such as in bags of frozen chicken nuggets or sausages.
