Modified Atmosphere Packaging

Modified atmosphere packaging for food items (aka MAP) encompasses a wide range of gas blends used in the food packaging industries.

Typically, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, and Oxygen are use in varying proportions dependent on the food category, container type, and whether it is individual or bulk packaging.

A Fusion Flow MXM gas mixing system designed for MAP can be sized to support multiple production lines, supplying a traceable mixture at whatever flow rates are needed throughout the work day. Data logging on the RS232 output can be used to support any USDA/FDA record keeping requirements.

For two-component gas blends, the optional binary gas analyzer can be fully integrated into the MXM’s chassis. The speed of sound analyzer provides a ‘3rd party’ validation of the mixture as it’s being blended, and is automatically configured to match whatever two gases are being used.
