 Busch
launch new VacControl vacuum gauge for the
measurement of vacuum within packaging
October 2009
The new VacControl vacuum gauge from Busch is a
completely new way of measuring the vacuum level
directly within the vacuum packaging and of
monitoring and documenting the measured data online.
VacControl constantly checks packaging integrity and
records and archives the results.
The VacControl gauge is simply placed in the
packaging alongside the product contents prior to
processing. This is possible on all vacuum packing
machines, without interrupting production. As the
air within the packaging is evacuated, the
VacControl automatically records the pressure
profile with 1,500 individual values. During
packaging, these values can be remotely transmitted
to a computer via Bluetooth and presented as a graph
on the computer. The times between the individual
measurements can be varied and thus be optimally
adapted to the packaging process. 1500 individual
measurements can be spread out over a period of up
to five hours, checked and documented. Thereby even
the smallest leaks in the packaging will be
detected.
VacConnect software allows the pressure profile to
be simply displayed graphically on a PC. These
graphs can be saved as Excel files and their
presentation can be individually optimised using the
extended graphics features on VacConnect. Up to ten
VacControl gauges can be separately operated by one
PC. The memory feature allows for the measured data
of up to ten graphs to be stored in VacControl and
later transmitted to a PC.
The VacControl gauge is robust and withstands
temperature and humidity. It fits into every vacuum
package thanks to its compact dimensions. With a
measuring range of 1mbar(a) to atmospheric pressure,
VacControl covers the entire pressure range of the
evacuation process during packaging. Measurements
can be made in millibar, Torr and PSI.
The units used can subsequently be changed on the PC
using VacConnect.
VacControl's simple operation allows vacuum within
packaging to be checked in short cycles and
therefore packaging quality is constantly monitored
and documented .
