On-line Analysers With an on-line analyser from PBI-Dansensor it is easy to ensure high quality in all modifi ed atmosphere products. The on-line analyser can be added to almost any new or existing packaging machine to ensure constant monitoring of the gas content in the packages. On vertical and horizontal fl ow packaging machines the online analysers with their optional fl ow control can even ensure substantial gas savings. This not only results in savings on the gas budget but can also help to protect the work environment. MAP Check Combi II Cost-efficient on-line analysis The MAP Check Combi II can be fi tted onto most vertical and horizontal fl ow packgaing machines. The analyser can be fully integrated into the packaging machine, thereby ensuring that the packaging process is stopped if the required gas content is not present in the packages. In the PFC version of the MAP Check Combi II, gas savings of up to 25% are possible. 4 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Available for both flow packaging machines as well as thermoforming or tray sealing machines. Also available for mixing of argon and carbon dioxide for industrial applications. Acoustic alarm for substandard gas inlet pressure, ensuring that a correct gas mix is always obtained. Possibility for integration into packing machines in order to prevent inaccurate gas mix, thus saving packaging materials and gas. 6 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Leak Detection for Modified Atmosphere Packaging LeakMatic 100% in-line leak detection LeakMatic is an automatic in-line leak detector for identifying micro leaks in fl exible and non-fl exible packages. It is designed for testing whole shipping crates. By using the CO 2 already available in most MA packages, it is possible to test all crates right after they have left the packaging machine. The test is non-destructive at a speed of 4-5 cycles a minute. Leak detection for packages containing CO 2 Ranging from the benchtop LeakPointer to the fully automatic in-line LeakMatic, there are suitable solutions to every kind of leak detection using CO 2 as trace gas. With the micro leak detection systems from PBI-Dansensor it is possible to carry out fast and nondestructive leak testing on all modifi ed atmo sphere packages containing a minimum of 10% carbon dioxide. Both the LeakPointer and the LeakMatic will help to minimise the amount of product returns and claims by ensuring high package integrity. Full data logging and statistics are available in all units. LeakPointer Avoid using water for leak detection A bench top leak detector. Fast and easy detection of micro leaks in MA packages. Data export and optional built-in printer. An optional bar code reader is available for quick and safe selection of products and entry of data such as batch number. LeakPointer E2 For E2 standard shipping crates A high capacity off-line micro leak detector. Tests shipping crates up to the standard E2 size. LeakPointer E2 has the same software and advantages as the LeakPointer. PRODUCT OVERVIEW 7

Packaging & Film Packaging & Film R & D R & D OPT-5000 Fast and precise testing of films and foils for oxygen permeation The OPT-5000 tester has been specifi cally developed to provide an easy and reliable test method. With a minimum of training anybody can perform a quality test. To conduct this test the user of the OPT-5000 simply has to insert the sample, choose the test program and press the START button. The user interface is based on an easy to use touch screen display which indicates the test cycle and the oxygen transmission rate as testing progresses. The OPT-5000 is the right choice for testing both low and high permeability foils. With its broad testing range, ease of operation and automatic humidity control, the OPT-5000 is extremely versatile in application and suitability, for both advanced research in the laboratory and quality control in production settings. L100-5000 Manometric gas permeability tester for films and foils The manometric gas permeability tester is an extremely versatile instrument that can measure the permeability of fi lms and foils to practically any common gas or gas mixture. Using the manometric principle, this instrument utilises one of the well known and most recognised gas permeability testing methods: pressure change via gas transmission through fi lms. The L100-5000 tester is capable of measuring within a broad range of low and high permeabilities, and can thus be used to test a variety of materials. Test results are expressed directly in ml/m 2 /24 hrs. and are documented by using the built-in printer. 8 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Permeability Testing Fast, Accurate and User Friendly Packaging & Film R & D Beverage Packaging & Film R & D L80-5000 Easy and reliable testing for water vapour permeability The L80-5000 is the latest generation of the proven L80 series, which has been used successfully for decades in many laboratories. With the L80-5000, testing water vapour permeability becomes very simple. The L80-5000 is easy to operate, and its reliable testing principle and low degree of maintenance have demonstrated the superiority of the PBI-Dansensor Lyssy testing method to users worldwide. The L80-5000 is easy to set up and operate through the built-in keyboard and display. With a built-in printer and RS232 interface for communication with a PC the L80-5000 also enables easy test documentation and statistical tracking. PermMate Oxygen permeability tester for finished packages and bottles The PermMate system is a highly fl exible system for testing the oxygen permeability of whole packages and bottles in a wide variety of industries. Especially the food and beverage industry can benefi t from the test results for better shelf life prediction and by choosing the right packaging solution in terms of anoxygen barrier for a specifi c product. The idea behind the PermMate system is that if a polymer package with a low internal O 2 content is left at ambient 0 2 (20.9%) for some time, the O 2 level inside the package will increase. If the polymer package is leak-free this increase will be due to the permeation through the polymer. Based on that assumption, and considering other parameters related to the type and design of the specifi c package, it is possible to easily calculate the oxygen transmission rate of the package.
