Pouch Seal Inspection & Seal Quality Analysis
Seal-Scan™ technology provides seal integrity inspection of pouches and flexible packaging. Seal-Scan™ characterizes seals that appear visually acceptable yet possess defects that affect product quality, value, and shelf-life. Non-destructive and non-invasive, Seal-Scan™ is a precise, repeatable method to evaluate and analyze seal quality. Seal-Scan™ utilizes non-contact airborne ultrasound technology to detect various types of defects, visible and invisible, leaking and non-leaking, process-related and random. The ability to analyze seal integrity with precision and repeatability has established Seal-Scan™ as the leading inspection method for heat seals in pouches and flexible packaging.
