To meet food manufacturers’ stringent standards of freshness and quality, this firm introduces the SealTester, a rugged instrument that checks packaging for air and gas tightness inline. The key advantage of the SealTester is its saving in personnel costs compared to random physical sampling and testing. Another benefit is its extremely high level of dependability and consistency when checking for air or gas leaks, without any loss of the product being tested. The SealTester uses a powerful servo control to direct its six servo motors. The control manipulates three measuring belts in such a way that the flexible bags in the production line do not collide with each other nor with the belts. — Sartorius Mechatronics Corp., Bohemia, N.Y.
