The MAP audit looks at waste reduction, gas consumption and quality assurance to identify areas where modified atmosphere packaging processes can be optimized.
- Increase the packaging speed
- Minimize excess gas consumption
- Reduce waste of packaging material
- Ensure that MAP equipment operate at full capacity
Overview
MAP Audit will improve processes and make sure the packaging equipment is operating at full capacity and delivering maximum value. In almost every MAP-line, there is an untapped potential of streamlining the packaging process. The audit helps you identify and exploit these opportunities in order to make it more cost-efficient.
Since 2009, AMETEK MOCON has specialized in optimization of modified atmosphere packaging processes within the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. The invention of the MAP audit was a result of the many experiences with ineffective MAP processes. Especially with regards to:
- Waste reduction
The amount of waste presents a problem in a significant number of MAP-lines, but too few manufacturers are aware of the problem and even fewer recognize the fact that reducing waste would save a lot of money. - Gas Savings
Excess gas use continues to be a costly problem in many MAP processes, but there are various ways to limit the gas consumption, both by using the right equipment and by applying the right operation technique. - Quality Assurance (QA)
When equipment runs at a high speed most of the time, the risk of defects increases. Therefore, ongoing quality assurance is an integrated part of the MAP audit. This is to make sure that the equipment is running at full capacity.
