Packaging must be leak-proof — without exception. Even a single leak can lead to spoilage, returns, and a loss of customer trust. With the LEAK-MASTER® MAPMAX from WITT, food producers can reliably ensure the quality of both their packaging and their products: every package is tested inline — fully automatically, non-destructively, and with consistent accuracy.
Safety for the Entire Production Process — Directly on the Line
The MAPMAX tests individual packages, complete sets, outer packaging, or cartons directly on the packaging line — quickly and without contact. The CO₂-based test in a vacuum chamber detects even the smallest leaks, starting at approximately 20 micrometers. Depending on the relevant leak size, CO₂ content in the package, and other environmental conditions, testing speeds of up to 15 cycles per minute are possible.
This unique combination of sensitivity and speed makes the system powerful enough to monitor the entire production process. As a result, food manufacturers achieve maximum safety and can confidently fulfill their promise of quality.
Reliable Technology — Optimized for Real-World Use
During testing, the vacuum creates a pressure difference that causes CO₂ to escape from any leaking package. The system’s flow-optimized design channels this gas toward highly sensitive infrared sensors with a resolution of 1 ppm — all within fractions of a second. This ensures that every leaking package is detected before it reaches the customer.
The process is completely non-destructive, meaning no rejected product, no repackaging, and no additional costs. In the event of a leak, the MAPMAX communicates with downstream equipment via potential-free contacts — for example, to trigger an alarm or activate a rejection system.
New Design, Easy Operation
The latest generation of the MAPMAX has been thoroughly redesigned: the transparent acrylic-glass chamber improves visibility of the test process, the slimmer footprint saves valuable production space, and the optimized construction simplifies service during operation. The touch display ensures intuitive operation, and presets can be quickly selected or customized. An Ethernet interface is available for digital quality-assurance systems.
Proven, Improved — and Unique in Performance and Precision
The LEAK-MASTER® MAPMAX has long been established as a reliable inline leak-testing system. With this latest update, it offers even greater practical benefits while maintaining its exceptional testing accuracy. Its unique combination of speed and sensitivity makes it the ideal solution for inline testing of entire cases, cartons or individual packages.
This gives food producers maximum confidence — to protect their products, meet delivery requirements, and ensure customer satisfaction.
