Seal-Scan™

 

Seal-Scan™ systems provide offline and 100% online seal integrity inspection solutions for flexible packaging in the food, pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Seal-Scan™ characterizes seals that appear visually acceptable yet possess defects that affect product quality, value, and shelf-life. Non-destructive and non-invasive, Seal-Scan™ is a precise, repeatable method to evaluate and analyze seal quality.

Seal-Scan™ systems utilize non-contact airborne ultrasound technology to detect various types of defects, visible and invisible, leaking and non-leaking, process-related and random. Real time inspection data is available in numerical, statistical and seal image formats. Seal-Scan™ is an ideal solution for both offline/online production applications and QA/QC process control.

Traditional inspection methods such as visual, manual or destructive forms of testing are all costly, unreliable and incapable of finding invisible defects. The ability to analyze seal integrity with precision and repeatability has established Seal-Scan™ as the leading inspection method for heat seals in pouches and flexible packaging.
