OXFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, May 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Systech Illinois, one of the world's leading experts in gas and moisture measurement, has recently acquired the unique PermMate, patented technology which utilizes an innovative method of oxygen permeation analysis of finished packages -'Ambient Oxygen Ingress Rate' (AOIR). This instrument measures the oxygen permeability of packages under different test conditions at any temperature and humidity such as those at which the product will be stored. For more information call +44 (0) 1844 216838 or go to http://www.systechillinois.com.
"We are delighted to make this announcement," said Bryan Cummings, MD of Systech Illinois, "as acquiring the PermMate means that Systech Illinois can offer packaging manufacturers a versatile solution for permeation testing of finished packages, resulting in significant cost savings for the food packaging industry and a reduction in waste for the consumer."
When asked why this kind of analysis is so important for the food packaging industry, Bryan replied; "The permeability and barrier qualities of film and foils change when shaped into a finished package, and as a result the shelf life of food products can be affected, therefore it is important to test the finished package. This patented method can assist the processor in choosing the exact type of material required," Bryan added, "eliminating the issue of over specifying a packaging material by using a thicker film than is needed, making the PermMate an important tool for packaging research and development."
Capable of testing numerous packages simultaneously, the PermMate permeation analyser can also be used for O2 headspace measurement, leak detection and shelf life determination. The equipment also provides the ability to measure over a long period of time, for example, weekly measurements for a year. "The PermMate is a significant addition to our range of oxygen permeability detection instruments," Bryan concluded, "and we would be delighted to help anyone in the food packaging industry find the most appropriate analysis instrumentation for their needs."
