Keio University, in collaboration with packaging machine manufacturer Tokyo Automobile Machinery Works (President Haruo Yamamoto, Tokyo), has developed a "leak inspection machine" that instantly detects incompletely sealed food packaging.As for the inspection machine, a prototype will be exhibited for reference at the Japan International Packaging Machinery Exhibition held at Tokyo Big Sight in Koto-ku, Tokyo, and an inspection demonstration will be shown.
Insufficient sealing of food packaging can lead to rapid deterioration of the quality of the food inside due to oxidation and moisture absorption.Until now, in the food production line, incomplete packaging was often found by sampling inspection, but this will enable us to handle all product inspections, which will greatly help prevent the outflow of defective products.In the future, verification for commercialization will be promoted on the actual food production line.
