The Capry Group (Hall 3/B4) is drawing in the crowds with its Inerpac packaging process.
Inerpac is a patented technique which allows parts to be protected and preserved in a modified atmosphere for up to five years by the injection of nitrogen.
The nitrogen is injected into a special material once the object has been encased in made-to-measure laminate envelopes at an agreed temperature and humidity.
Each envelope has two valves connected to a programmable logic controller. The nitrogen is injected into the envelope through one of the valves and creates a gaseous flow that flushes out the atmosphere inside the bag.
Drained
The flow is drained off through the second valve and is analysed and its parameters immediately displayed on the computer screen.
The rate of humidity, the residual oxygen, the pressure, the temperature and the temperature due point are all measured.
As soon as the required parameters are reached both valves are turned off and the flexible tubing disconnected.
The packaged goods are then ready to be stored, transported or secured into crates.
