MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Mocon is offering the ability to increase throughput of oxygen testing for rigid packages with its new RACK-6 conditioning system, the company said.
The RACK-6 system has been developed for use with Mocon's popular OX-TRAN Model 2/61, which measures oxygen transmission rates for as many as six rigid or flexible packages simultaneously. The system offers users a separate six-cell conditioning unit which enables packages to be brought to equilibirum offline before moving them to the OX-TRAN Model 2/61 for final test results - depending on the number of RACK-6 systems deployed, cost effective throughput of samples can be virtually unlimited, Mocon said.
The RACK-6 uses Container Transfer Units (CTU), which allow individual package transfer from the conditioning unit to the testing unit. Each RACK-6 hosts six CTUs. Twelve CTUs come with the RACK-6 system allowing for six samples to be conditioned while six samples are tested on the OX-TRAN Model 2/61. Companies can use multiple RACK-6 systems in tandem with the OX-TRAN 2/61 to further increase throughput.
The OX-TRAN Model 2/61 and RACK-6 are both engineered to work with a variety of flexible packages and rigid containers. The RACK-6 system can be used with existing OX-TRAN Model 2/61 systems.
The OX-TRAN Model 2/61 incorporates the latest in high-sensitivity sensor design and is ideal for production and QC/QA testing applications. It includes precise relative humidity and temperature control, automatic equilibrium determination, advanced analysis tools and National Institute of Standards and Technology traceable system verification films.
