Rapid and cost-effective oxygen transmission analyzer for PET bottles

Measuring oxygen transmission through PET bottle walls remains the benchmark test for barrier equipment qualification. The Systech 8700 was originally designed to meet the challenge of faster and less costly OTR testing of ACTISTM treated PET bottles. When Sidel launched the ACTIS™ 48 machine, its high output, in excess of 30,000 bottles/hour, overwhelmed conventional methods for qualification and quality tracking, even relying on statistical sampling.

The Systech 8700 measures OTR in 12 hours instead of the conventional 24-hour cycle. The system measures up to 11 samples with a single instrument, yet requires only half the space of other instruments on the market. Measurement capacity can be increased by operating several devices simultaneously.
