Free Guide to “Improving Packaging Seal Quality”

Michelle — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:40:04 +0000

Aztech is offering a free booklet aimed at engineers and quality personnel who are involved in sealing process inprovement. This booklet has proved very useful to Aztech`s clients in helping to improve sealing quality. Many of these clients use the Flexicheck machines as a means to providing analytical results for process improvement. While working through the booklet on each parameter that may effect seal quality, our clients were able to make measurable improvements to their sealing process.

Linwoods use Flexicheck Offline to maintain good quality

Michelle — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:57:49 +0000

Linwoods manufacture and pack a range of health food products. In order to maintain the highest quality and standards in their filling and sealing process, Linwoods have installed a Flexicheck Offline machine. This machine is manually loaded by the filling machine operator who can then keep a continuous check on the seal quality as the machine provides them with an “at a glance” Pass/Fail indication of the test.

Successful PPMA Exhibition

Michelle — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:38:54 +0000

Aztech exhibited the Flexicheck range of leak detection machines at the PPMA exhibition. Aztech was delighted with the response, as a large number of companies had applications for the full range of machines, from the Flexicheck Offline machine, the Random sampling machines through to the Flexicheck 100% inline leak testing machines. The Flexicheck inline machine was seen as the only viable solution for many of the customers requirements because of the machines ability to work on any pack irrespective of the flush gas type, and the fact that the machine tested each pack individually. As the test is non destructive and non invasive good packs continue on the packaging line, while the leakers are sent back for repacking, making huge savings.

Pinneys of Scotland improve sealing process using Flexicheck Offline

Michelle — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:26:56 +0000

Pinneys of Scotland is a part of the Uniq group, manufacturing high quality seafood products.
In order to continuously improve their seal quality a Flexicheck Offline was installed to give a quantifiable means of leak rate measurement and data storage. The resulting changes to the process were then monitored using the Flexicheck Offline machine, this data is automatically stored and retrieved through a HMI and Ethernet connection.

Aztech Engineering receive Leader + funding for patented in-line leak detection technology

Michelle — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 11:19:34 +0000

Aztech Engineering Solutions Ltd. have received Leader + funding from the Newry and Mourne local action group. The award will enable Aztech to manufacture a patented leak detection machine for use directly on the production line. This in-line ‘Flexicheck’ leak detection machine uses vacuum force technology to detect leaks across a range of flexible sealed MAP, Vacuum or Ambient packed goods. The technology works particularly well within the food industry e.g. ready meals, cheese blocks or bags and processed meat products. In addition there are also applications for the technology within pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare industries.

For 100% in-line inspection, the machine tests every pack coming from the packaging equipment, using the test results to reject leaking packs, the technology provides an early warning of packaging problems and information for process control.

For further information on Aztech’s leak detection technology contact us on +44 28 30851932 / enquiries@aztechni.com.

Aztech Innovation in Leak Detection Solutions for the Food and Pharmaceutical Industry

Michelle — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 09:46:40 +0000

Aztech Engineering Solutions Ltd. have recently launched an innovative range of patented leak detection systems which offer full inspection on flexible sealed packaged products found within the food, pharmaceutical and medical device industries. These machines provide a unique approach to leak detection by offering a tailored solution ranging from off-line sampling to inline inspection machines performing 100%, non-destructive inspection.

The machines have the capacity to test every pack coming from a packaging machine, using the results of the testing to reject leaking packs and provide early warning of packaging problems and information for process control. The machines have the advantage of being non-subjective and the integrated leak detection process negates the need for manual input and thus removes potential human error. All rejected product can potentially be returned to a production line for repackaging, as the machines are also non-destructive, unlike the bubble emission test.

Aztech Receive Smart Award

The Smart Award scheme, sponsored by Invest NI, aims to help small businesses develop new products and processes to improve their competitiveness.

Aztech Engineering Solutions Ltd. has received an award to aid the creation of a highly innovative plastering application machine that will benefit the construction industry.
The award presented to Aztech Engineering will provide financial assistance, enabling the company to conduct a technical and commercial feasibility study on a new device to apply plaster to walls and ceilings. The plastering prototype will be for use within the construction industry and will provide a novel technical advance to the current time and labour intensive method. Aztech are confident the final prototype will have the ergonomics, weight and control of a machine that could revolutionise the industry.

The new machine technology designed and currently under construction by Aztech could spell the end for labour intensive plastering, which often results in many cases of lower back and joint problems among plasterers and labourers alike.
