as we all know, being capable of giving 100 percent in about anything is a hard proposition. it doesn&rsquot matter whether it is giving the weather report, on the athletic field, providing information on stock performance or predicting the due date of a child, utter precision is hard to ensure. however, norden machinery ab, which is a swedishbased manufacturer of packing systems and tube filling within the coesia family, has created a solution for tube leaking. this solutions offer customers a 100percent inspection. this hydrogen testing solution includes using an instrument that can spot leaks in laminate and plastic tubes inline at extremely high speeds. hence, no time lost takes place throughout production cycles. hans söderström is technical director at norden. he mentions that their hydrogen inline detector is surely not the only move towards identifying a leak when filling tubes, but they have clients in a few nations where national standards and regulations demand a 100percent output such as korea or japan, and their device can help them to fulfil that high bar, states. with its exclusive hydrogen sensor technology, the instrument has been created mutually with inficon ab, a top supplier of hydrogen leak testing solutions. the patent for the norden innovation is still pending. this innovation can be incorporated into the existing or new machinery and works like this laminate and plastic tubes are sealed utilising ultrasonic tube or hot air, high frequency sealing system. the device is developed to check the tubes through production immediately after they have been sealed. a premeasured amount of tracer gas is packed on top of the filling product before sealing the tubes. after sealing, the tube is then cooled. next to that, to the sides of the tube, a slight pressure is applied when the seal is placed in the propinquity of the hydrogensensing equipment. the hydrogen sensor picks up any escaping tracer gas. a preset threshold value, which is determined on the basis of customer&rsquos need and through testing, is evaluated to the concentration of any tracer gas there in the sensor. in a situation where the value is more than the threshold, the machine will automatically reject the tube. source of information httpwww.nordenmachinery.comenhomeinnovationtechnicalcentre
