UNIQUE NEW OXYGEN PERMEATION ANALYSERS FOR THE PACKAGING INDUSTRY
 The
all important quest for efficiency in food packaging has been advanced by
Systech Instrument's range of new oxygen permeation analyser, the Model
8000 and 8500. The Model 8000 provides a precision analysis of barrier
plastic films and packages. Although the instrument is highly
sophisticated, with exacting calibration, its operation is simplicity
itself. The Model 8500 has been specifically designed to offer a low cost
option for the analysis of high OTR films.
Unique
The Model 8000 is unique in offering a combination of features not to
be found elsewhere in the market place. It is the most accurate instrument
of its type, with a wide range of measurement and the fastest result. Only
one sensor is required for all applications and it performs a full range of
testing without the need for special modifications. The Model 8500 is the
only instrument of its kind currently available.
State of the Art
The state of the art Windows® software makes both the instruments user
friendly and offers the operator a great deal of flexibility. There are two
ways to calibrate, on a certified gas standard or on a film. The
instruments use standard industrial grade N2 reference gas.
"The Model 8000 offers more functionality at a fraction of the cost of
any current competitor products", says Bryan Cummings, Managing Director of
Systech Instruments. "The instrument will be of particular interest to high
barrier plastics film manufacturers, converters, food and pharmaceutical
packaging manufacturers. The Model 8500 is the first analyser of its type
in the marketplace specifically for poor barrier films. There is already a
great deal of interest in both products."
Benefits to Users
The benefits to users are impressive. Improvements in Q.A. efficiency,
cost savings, less resource required and an increase in productivity rates.
Both Models give you fast, highly accurate, graphical results, speeding up
your quality assurance function significantly, without compromising the
integrity of the analysis.
Getting accurate results, faster, means you can complete more tests in
less time, therefore making significant resource and productivity savings.
The cost of ownership is also low, making the investment in equipment a
highly cost effective decision.
Meaningful and reliable test results are available up to twice as fast
as current products allow. Simplicity of use ensures that you receive
immediate graphical results that are effortlessly interpreted. Also,
because the Model 8000 and 8500 can analyse more films in less time it
enables your productivity rates to increase dramatically, particularly when
doing high volume testing.
The Technology
A Systech designed sensor detects oxygen transmission rates through
flat film barriers.
Flat film samples are clamped in a diffusion chamber. Pure oxygen
(99.9%) is then introduced into the upper half of the chamber while an
oxygen free carrier gas flows through the lower half. Molecules of oxygen
diffusing through the film into the lower chamber are conveyed to the
sensor by the carrier gas. This allows a direct measurement of the oxygen
without using complex extrapolations. Oxygen transmission rate of the test
film is displayed as either cc/m2/day or cc/100 in2/day.
The Model 8010 expansion unit allows up to ten chambers, controlled
simultaneously by the Model 8000 master unit. Up to four expansion modules
can be linked through a single communications line to provide a ten chamber
system.
With just the push of a button, the Windows® software also allows
packages to be tested simply and easily, using the standard equipment.
Model 8000 has Windows® based software and conforms to international
test standards:
- ASTM D-3985 (N. and S. America)
- DIN 53380 (Europe)
- JIS K-7126 (Asia)
The Model 8000 instrument is the most advanced of its kind and enables
plastic film manufacturers to research and improve their packaging film,
contributing to fresher food with a longer shelf life.
