Falcon Pack is the leading name in the packaging industry in the Middle East and is recognized for delivering top-quality disposable food packaging solutions. Maintaining quality and precision for the company’s reputation, Falcon Pack has collaborated with Testron for two necessary testing instruments- the TT-HM120 Haze Meter and the TT-102MW Halogen Moisture Analyzer.
This case study explains how these advanced instruments optimised the quality control process at Falcon Pack, ensuring the product has high transparency, consistency, and accuracy of moisture content.
The Challenge
As a market leader, Falcon Pack was faced with the following quality challenges:
Haze Measurement for Plastic Films and Packaging
Food packaging is crucial in transparency because it gives the product visibility and customer trust. Falcon Pack needed a reliable haze meter to align with haze meter standards like ASTM D1003 and ISO 13468.
Moisture Content Analysis
Measuring the right amount of moisture is critical to packaging materials’ structural integrity and shelf life. Falcon Pack required a fast, accurate halogen moisture analyzer for quality control.
The Solution: Testron’s Advanced Testing Instruments
To address these challenges, Falcon Pack installed two state-of-the-art instruments from Testron:
1. TT-HM120 Haze Meter
The foremost device to measure haze and transparency in plastic films, glasses, and packaging materials is TT-HM120.
Key Features:
Precision: This gives precise values of haze and transparency, owing to a light transmittance PD array detector.
Standards Compliance:Meets Standards of ASTM D1003, ISO 13468 with respect to haze measurement on the test piece of transparency.
Versatile Sample Testing: Test specimens for various materials are made available for both vertical and horizontal testing
By adding the TT-HM120, Falcon Pack ensured that its packaging materials were always in line with international standards on transparency and clarity.
2. TT-102MW Halogen Moisture Analyzer
The TT-102MW Halogen Moisture Analyzer measures moisture accurately, which is one of the most important factors to be considered in the strength and performance of the material.
Key Features:
Quick Results: It offers moisture measurements with the use of halogen heating.
Accurate: It offers accurate readings for moisture-sensitive packaging materials.
Easy User Interface: It makes the testing process easy by providing a user-friendly control.
By using this tool, Falcon Pack could monitor and regulate the moisture content in the packaging materials, thus bettering the quality of the product.
Implementation
Implementation was comprised of the following:
- Needs Assessment: Testron performed an exhaustive assessment of the quality control needs of Falcon Pack.
- Instrument Setup: TT-HM120 and TT-102MW were seamlessly incorporated into the quality assurance workflow at Falcon Pack.
- Training and Support: Testron provided on-site training to the quality control team of Falcon Pack to ensure that the instruments were used effectively.
Benefits of Falcon Pack
- Enhanced Quality Control: Quality control was enhanced because the TT-HM120 ensured that Falcon Pack’s packaging materials always met haze meter standards, in turn improving product transparency and customer satisfaction levels.
- Precise Moisture Measurement: TT-102MW allowed Falcon Pack to measure and control the moisture level accurately, hence material defects reduced and the products shelf life increased.
- Compliance to international standards: Both ensured conformity to international standards thus making Falcon Pack the lead in package solutions.
- Cost Savings: Falcon Pack saved much by reducing material waste and gaining consistent product quality.
- Operational Efficiency: The intuitive design of the instruments and the ease of using the interfaces were such that testing was faster and saved time and resources.
