PBI-Dansensor inline gas analysers

Modified atmosphere packaging, MAP, is a key method to maintain the quality and improve the shelf life of processed and fresh meat products. Ensuring that the correct gas mixture is in the packaging is a crucial requirement of the process, so the mixture must be monitored in a reliable and efficient way.

Traditional quality control approaches involve manually removing packages at intervals and testing them to ensure that the gas mixture is as it should be. This is time-consuming and wasteful. A far better system involves quality assurance, where the gas mixture is monitored constantly during the flushing and packaging process, so any deviation is immediately identified and can be corrected with minimum disruption to the production line.

PBI-Dansensor has a range of inline gas analysers that continuously monitor the gas content of the packaging chamber before the packages are sealed.
