Used MOCON / OX-TRAN Permatran-W 3/33 #293825174 for sale

MOCON Permatran-W 3/33 is a state-of-the-art electronic test equipment designed for measuring the transmission rate of oxygen and water vapor through packaging materials and films. This instrument is widely used in the packaging industry to assess the barrier properties of materials intended to protect perishable goods from deterioration caused by oxygen and moisture ingress. By providing accurate and reliable measurements of permeation rates, the Permatran-W 3/33 helps manufacturers optimize packaging designs to prolong product shelf-life and enhance quality. One of the key features of the Permatran-W 3/33 is its dual capability to measure both oxygen and water vapor transmission rates simultaneously, making it a versatile tool for packaging material testing. This capability is essential for assessing the overall barrier performance of packaging materials, as oxygen and moisture are the two primary factors that can lead to spoilage and degradation of sensitive products. The instrument operates based on the principle of gas permeation through materials via a carrier gas flow method. The sample is placed between two chambers - a high-pressure chamber containing the carrier gas and a low-pressure chamber where the permeant gas (oxygen or water vapor) is collected. The carrier gas flows over one side of the sample, while the permeant gas diffuses through the sample material and is collected on the other side. By measuring the concentration of the permeant gas over time, the Permatran-W 3/33 can calculate the transmission rate of oxygen and water vapor through the material. The Permatran-W 3/33 is equipped with advanced sensors and detectors that ensure precise and accurate measurements. The instrument's high sensitivity allows it to detect even minute changes in permeation rates, making it suitable for testing a wide range of packaging materials with varying barrier properties. This level of sensitivity is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of thin films, coatings, laminates, and multilayer structures commonly used in modern packaging applications. In addition to its high accuracy, the Permatran-W 3/33 offers a user-friendly interface and intuitive software that simplifies operation and data analysis. The instrument can be programmed to run automated test sequences, providing efficient and reproducible results. The software also allows users to generate detailed reports and graphical representations of permeation data, facilitating in-depth analysis and comparison of different packaging materials. Furthermore, the Permatran-W 3/33 is designed with robust construction and quality components to ensure long-term reliability and durability in demanding industrial environments. The instrument undergoes rigorous testing and calibration procedures to meet international standards for accuracy and performance, giving users confidence in the reliability of their test results. Overall, OX-TRAN Permatran-W 3/33 is a cutting-edge electronic test equipment that offers accurate, reliable, and efficient measurement of oxygen and water vapor transmission rates in packaging materials. With its advanced technology, dual capability, high sensitivity, user-friendly interface, and durable construction, the Permatran-W 3/33 is a valuable tool for quality control and product development in the packaging industry.
