Maintaining the quality, freshness, and safety of food products relies heavily on airtight packaging. Even the smallest leak can compromise the entire product, leading to financial losses for food producers. To address this critical need, INFICON offers Contura® S400 Leak Detector, a powerful solution designed to optimize packaging processes and ensure tight seals. Field-tested in various applications, this non-destructive device provides quick and reliable leak testing for a wide range of products.

Realizing the Importance of Leak-Proof Packaging

With traditional leak detection methods, such as water bath, snack product manufacturers can experience inconsistencies during the process which can lead to doubt about the integrity of the packaging.  To eliminate this doubt, Contura S400 Leak Detector individually checks each product within a batch for reliable integrity testing. Contura S400 performs time-saving leak tests, allowing the operator to test products in real-time right next to the production line.

User-Friendly Design and Efficiency

Contura S400 is specifically designed to be user-friendly and requires minimal effort, eliminating the need for calibration. The operator simply places the product between two diaphragms and closes the cover to initiate the test process. The device displays precise leak rates, providing both visual and audio signals to indicate results and ensuring reliable testing, even in noisy production environments.

Documentation and Quality Management

In addition to its ease of use, Contura S400 offers the advantage of documenting all test results. Manufacturers can easily retrieve the data via a USB or Ethernet connection and archive it in their quality management system. This feature allows for comprehensive tracking and monitoring of packaging processes, ensuring adherence to the highest quality standards.
