BetaTest Leak Detector
In-line leak detection system for vacuum packed cheese blocks and other products.
The BetaTest is a first for in-line cheese block leak detection.
Suitable for blocks ranging from 20lb/10kg to 40lb/20kg and various cheese types, the BetaTest has proven to be a reliable rear guard to finding leaks in vacuum packaging.
Two models are available:
Using the gusset pull test in tandem with the plunge vac testing method, the bag and seal integrity is physically manipulated and tested. This provides unsurpassed accuracy in leak detection – detecting leaks arising from poor seals and pinhole leaks in the packaging film.
An infeed conveyor is required to help stage blocks when the BetaTest is immediately downstream of the BetaVac vacuum packer, as at least 20 seconds of dwell time is recommended between sealing and testing, to maximise its accuracy of leak detection.
A plunge-vac tests for leaks arising from an imperfect vacuum seal. BetaTurn functionality is also incorporated, meaning the blocks can be re-orientated while being tested, if required.
Unlike the BetaTest 1000, the BTLD 750 is not capable of identifying pinhole leaks in packaging film, however its drawcard is its small footprint and suitability to be placed directly after a BetaVac vacuum packer unit.
These were originally developed by BetaVac, which is now part of MHM Automation.
Benefits
- Provides assurance that the vacuum seal has been successful
- Minimises the risk of selling blocks with packaging leaks, that are at risk of developing mould
- Reduces waste product – blocks identified with leaking vacuum packaging can be returned to the line to be re-packaged
Two models are available:
BetaTest 1000
A dedicated machine which can handle up to 10 blocks per minute.Using the gusset pull test in tandem with the plunge vac testing method, the bag and seal integrity is physically manipulated and tested. This provides unsurpassed accuracy in leak detection – detecting leaks arising from poor seals and pinhole leaks in the packaging film.
An infeed conveyor is required to help stage blocks when the BetaTest is immediately downstream of the BetaVac vacuum packer, as at least 20 seconds of dwell time is recommended between sealing and testing, to maximise its accuracy of leak detection.
BTLD 750
The BTLD 750 is ideal for lines where space is limited.A plunge-vac tests for leaks arising from an imperfect vacuum seal. BetaTurn functionality is also incorporated, meaning the blocks can be re-orientated while being tested, if required.
