Ishida Europe’s unique solution for leak detection in sealed MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) food packs has won a major award for innovation. The Ishida AirScan took the Innovation Award for Quality/Traceability at the recent Europack Euromanut CFIA exhibition in Lyon, France. The Innovation Awards celebrate the most ground-breaking equipment and services from exhibiting companies, with winners selected by an international jury of industry experts and leading journalists.
The Ishida AirScan minimises spoilage in a wide variety of pre-packed retail food products, including fresh, cooked and cured meat, poultry, seafood, fruit, vegetables, cheese and ready meals. It uses advanced laser technology to identify leaks of CO2 from holes as small as 0.3mm in sealed MAP packs at speeds of up to 180 packs per minute, ensuring that maximum quality can be achieved without compromising on high throughput speeds and minimum packing time.
By maintaining the optimum gas fill for each pack, the leak detector provides consistent product quality. Any production problems can be identified and rectified quickly, reducing the amount of packaging that has to be scrapped, while the non-destructive testing process allows product to be re-packed. The elimination of leaking packs also helps to minimise customer complaints and the costs of product returns, leading to a fast return on investment and helping to enhance a supplier’s reputation for quality and reliability.
The Innovation Awards were presented at a gala dinner at Europack, attended by over 400 guests.
