The Heinz Innovation Centre in Nijmegen, the largest Heinz R&D facility outside the USA, is set to enhance its packaging testing capabilities with the adoption of Oxipack’s Mobile Leak Tester. This state-of-the-art centre, known for its cutting-edge research and ultra-modern microbiology lab, aims to incorporate leak detection in the early stages of packaging design development to ensure airtight and leak-proof solutions.
Advanced Leak Detection for Innovative Packaging
The Heinz Innovation Centre is dedicated to pioneering new packaging designs that meet the highest standards of quality and integrity. To achieve this, they have chosen Oxipack's Mobile Leak Tester for its accuracy and portability. This mobile solution allows for efficient leak detection during initial test runs and when new packaging lines are brought into production, ensuring that any potential issues are identified and resolved promptly.
Versatility and Portability
One of the standout features of the Mobile Leak Tester is its compact design, which allows it to be easily transported, even onboard a plane. This flexibility means that leak testing can be conducted at various locations, making it a valuable tool during the initial development phases and on-site at production facilities. By performing leak tests immediately on-site, Heinz can ensure that their packaging solutions are robust and reliable from the outset.
Ensuring High-Quality Standards
As a manufacturer of a wide range of food products, maintaining high quality is essential for Heinz. Ensuring that packaging is free of leaks is particularly critical, as it directly impacts product safety and shelf life. The use of Oxipack's Mobile Leak Tester enables Heinz to uphold these stringent quality standards, reinforcing their commitment to excellence in the food industry.
The collaboration between the Heinz Innovation Centre and Oxipack highlights the importance of advanced leak detection in developing new packaging designs. By integrating the Mobile Leak Tester into their R&D processes, Heinz can ensure that their packaging meets the highest standards of quality and reliability. This partnership underscores Heinz’s dedication to innovation and quality in the food industry.
