Groovy Oxybaby

Groovy Oxybaby

Witt, the gas safety, control, mixing and analysis equipment supplier has launched its latest generation of Oxybaby hand held gas analysers for packaging line, warehouse and laboratory food packaging analysis.

Oxybaby, available in two versions to measure either the O2 or the CO2 content in small food packages, allows more than 500 different data measurements to be stored, and has a larger, easier-to-read display with more “at a glance” information, as well as simpler to operate function keys and menu structure with a single USB port for data transfer and battery charging.

Witt says Oxybaby also offers protection against measurement errors caused by needle/filter blockage, whereby the unit’s variably controlled pump action attempts to get a reading. If this fails, a message is displayed to prevent faulty measurement.

As with earlier models, this new version requires a minimal 4ml. gas sample in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to obtain a reading. It has a packaging line/product type record capability allowing the user to not only identify and record O2 or CO2 samples, but also the packaging line number or the type of product from which the sample was taken as well as date and time.

Weighing 600 grammes, Oxybaby “takes a maximum six seconds to obtain a reading, is small enough to fit into a pocket and ideal for random sampling”, said Witt.
