Witt to exhibit at PPMA



By admin at 15 May, 2009, 2:29 am

Witt will show a wide range of products at the PPMA Show 2009, taking place at the Birmingham NEC from 29 September-1 October.

Products will include Oxybaby 6.0, a cordless handheld O2 or O2/CO2 gas analyser for use with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and MAPY 4.0.

MAPY 4.0 is an ergonomically designed, mains-operated, multifunctional, O2/CO2 protective atmospheres analyser with an optional integrated printer.

Oxybaby 6.0 measures either the O2 or O2/CO2 content in the smallest food packages, such as salami and cheese slices, as well as other food packaging including poultry and salads.

It features a high-resolution display, an integrated barcode reader (optional), Bluetooth connection (optional) and a USB port for data transfer and charging the battery.

Other features include user-friendly menu navigation, extended data storage for up to 500 different measurements, as well being able to assign up to 25 users, 100 products and 50 packaging lines to the stored measurements.

These gas mixers are also obtainable as 3-in-1 versions, producing a fully automated process that proportionally controls the gas flow on packaging lines, to maintain a residual oxygen value that can reduce gas consumption by up to 30 per-cent.

Witt will also exhibit a KM100-2/3M gas mixer integrated with a MAPY 4.0 multifunction O2/CO2 protective atmospheres analyser, to generate a gas mixing and analysing process within four single cabinet as a 2-in-1 version.

Witt’s range of gas mixing and analysis equipment for use on modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) lines will be shown, including Leak-Master Mapmax, a fully automatic, inline, non-destructive detection process to detect leaks for food and pharmaceutical packers supplying rigid and flexible modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), using vacuum, thermoform, chamber or horizontal/vertical form, fill-and-seal packaging machines.

The latest process has two additional chamber sizes to the existing four, including four for the testing of complete crates/trays.
