(Witt: Witten, Germany) -- Reliable, fast, and user-friendly, the LEAK-MASTER PRO 2 from Witt tests the leak-tightness of modified atmosphere packaging. Now the leak tester is available with two new, larger chambers. This means that food producers now have four chamber sizes at their disposal to test packages of almost any size and to ensure the quality of their products.

The LEAK-MASTER PRO 2 tests packages for escaping CO₂, which is featured in many modified atmosphere packages. To do this, a vacuum is generated in the test chamber. If there is a leak, the protective gas escapes from the test product and is detected by CO₂ sensors. The packaging remains intact during the test.

The test takes only a few seconds—a significant time-saver for the inspector. In addition, the procedure is extremely reliable and precise. Depending on the packaging and the test conditions, even the smallest leaks, down to 10 µm, can be reliably detected—in other words, precisely those microleaks that cause problems for many manufacturers.
