The PRIMA Head Space Oxygen Meter-HSOM has a specially designed sampling configuration with an inbuilt pump and timer switch and an ultrasensitive oxygen sensor that makes it feasible to accurately measure oxygen contamination in the headspace flexible food packs or tin cans. The Model incorporates an adapted hypodermic needle to pierce the loose food packs and draw the gas using the inbuilt pump. In the case of headspace analysis of tin cans, Model HSOM when used with the tin can piercer device provides the headspace analysis of % oxygen in the tin can of heights up to 380 mm. The high vacuum pump is designed to educts the headspace atmosphere of low internal pressure. Models can work on 220 VAC mains supply or on Rechargeable Battery. This portable instrument is available with a digital readout 0-25% 02 range and 0.1 % oxygen in steps with front adjustments for zero, calibration & sampling of the headspace gas.

Applications :

The food packaging industry uses modified atmospheres to improve shelf life and quality of nuts, wafers, snack foods, oils, skimmed milk, milk powder and many other packaged food products within various food packages such as soft packs pouches, tin cans or bottles. Model HSOM provides an analysis method for headspace oxygen that helps quality control by determining the residual oxygen in the headspace. Model HSOM helps to adjust the speed of nitrogen gas while packaging correctly. The simplicity of operation of Model HSOM makes it ideal for quick routine measurements and repetitious laboratory studies.
