Sartorius Partners with PBI-Dansensor

Sartorius (Goettingen, Germany) has formed a sales partnership with PBI-Dansensor (Ringsted, Denmark), a provider of QA/QC solutions and a world-renowned supplier to the food industry. Under the agreement Sartorius’ Industrial Weighing division will market products used for testing gas-flushed packages which are compatible with its statistical process control (SPC) software solution.

Initially covering sales of products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Sartorius can now provide customers in the food

industry with PBI-Dansensor products such as the "MAP Check 3" gas analyzer or "MAP Mix Provectus" gas mixer can be easily incorporated into the production lines.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) systems in the fresh food production process are

constantly gaining in importance and have become a key part of packaging lines and their quality

assurance. They allow users to define the amount of gas required to conserve foods such as meat,

cheese, and lettuce during the production process. Checks on gas mixtures and also food packages for leaks and seal damage that can occur during the production process can be carried out via connection to an SPC system.
