    摘要: There is provided a leak detection system for detecting breaches in sealed food containers (T). The leak detection system comprises air-sample testing equipment configured to test the composition of an air sample provided to the air-sample testing equipment. The food container is conveyed through an air-sampling region using a conveyer belt (702), and a second conveyor belt (701) presses the container from the opposite side of the container. Both conveyor belts have perforations (703). At least one air-sampling port (711, 712) is located inside one of the conveyor belts in the air-sampling region. An air sample conduit is provided extending between the at least one air-sampling port and the air-sample testing equipment. In use, the at least one air-sampling port takes an air sample from the air-sampling region at least during or after the at least one pressing member applies pressure to the sealed food container in the air-sampling region and communicates said air sample through the air sample conduit to the air-sample testing equipment.

    摘要: The application relates to a twin lane tray sealer (100) comprising a pair of conveyors aligned with respective lanes for conveying trays to a heat sealing tool (6) and a pair of transfer mechanisms (66) each for transferring a known plurality of trays together and at a known separation from the respective conveyors to the heat sealing tool wherein the heat sealing tool (6) comprises a plurality of individually operable heaters (61a, 61b), each aligned with a respective tray in the tool in use. Control means is utilised to determine if a tray is missing from a group of trays transferred by the transfer mechanism. If a tray is determined as missing the control means is configured to not activate the heater aligned with the position of the determined missing tray in the tool.

    摘要: Gas-filled packages are tested by lowering a test head (50) onto each individual package as it arrives at a test station. The displacement of the test head and the force applied are accurately controlled and measured by means of an actuator system employing a servo motor (80) coupled through a high-resolution load-matched ball screw. The servo motor (80) may be operated in torque control mode so that an accurately known force can be applied. Before reaching the test station, a package may pass under a contact element which is pivotably mounted over the path so that a passing package pivots it to an extent dependent on the height of the package. The degree of pivoting is measured to provide an indication of package height. The contents of the package may be conditioned and stabilized by the contact with the element.
