Headspace analysis for cans and bottles

Automation

With the OXYBAB® O2/CO2 gas analyser and the new Can-Piercer, WITT offers an ideal solution for determining the gas composition in the headspace of cans and bottles. This combination enables fast and accurate quality control in the food industry.

Can-Piercer - New design, even easier to use

The new Can-Piercer is made of stainless steel and aluminium, making it ideal for the food industry. Its revised design is more compact and tidier than the previous model. Weighing just 3.8 kg, it is also significantly lighter, yet just as stable and robust. Applying it has been optimised to make life easier for the user: The height adjustment up to a maximum bottle or can height of 405 mm is now done in a few simple steps and without any tools. The way it keeps the needle stable also prevents needle breakage.

Specific models for gaseous, non-carbonated beverages and pressure measurement

The Can-Piercer is available in different versions: for gaseous drinks such as cola, mineral water, soft drinks and beer, for non-gaseous drinks such as juices, wine and mixed water drinks as well as for pure pressure measurement regardless of the gas composition. The combination of OXYBABY and Can-Piercer offers the user a reliable method for ensuring packaging quality and compliance with HACCP standards.

OXYBABY 6.0: Maximum precision with minimum gas consumption

For years, the portable gas analyser OXYBABY has been setting the standard in quality assurance of food packaging. The current model version OXYBABY® 6.0 is also one of the most powerful sample analysers on the market. The device delivers precise measurement results in just six seconds and requires only two millilitres of sample gas. The long-life oxygen sensor measures the O₂ value in fine 0.01 % increments.

Thanks to its intuitive operation, the WITT gas analyser is particularly easy to use. The powerful rechargeable battery allows a full working day without recharging. All measurement data are saved automatically and can be exported, enabling seamless documentation. Its intelligent flow control prevents incorrect measurements by automatically adjusting the pump output and issuing a warning in the event of irregularities. In addition, an integrated filter protects the device from moisture and thus extends its service life.
