MAP is the future. But companies producing MAP products with more gas than necessary may become history.

MAP is the future. But companies producing MAP products with more gas than necessary may become history.

That’s why our new gas analyzer is so precise. The gas target you set is the gas dosage you get – that is the MAP Check 3. This stops the all-too-common practice of well-intentioned operators being too generous with the gas, not realising its effect on production costs.

The only thing the MAP Check 3 does increase is your flexibility. Via the advanced GasSave function you can combine gas content monitoring on a vertical or horizontal flow packaging machine with real-time control of package flushing. For most manufacturers, this translates into a decreased gas consumption of 20-50%!

It also improves your reliability and efficiency. On-line quality assurance with the MAP Check 3 ensures that every package is tested – much quicker and more efficiently than random, off-line quality control. And if there’s a problem, production will stop automatically, helping to avoid recalls or repacking of entire batches.
