When working with food & beverage leak detection, many production processes rely on compressed air, steam, and gas, making leak detection essential. We know that safety and efficiency with these systems are key. Undetected leaks lead to increased costs and potentially damaging contamination risks.
There are many methods of detecting these leaks. Most of the time, these methods are the traditional soap and bubble or handheld gas detection devices.
Now these methods are cost effective, but they are slow and unreliable, leading to wasted time and wasted money.
But, there are ways of solving these issues. By working with a whole new form of detection. Ultrasound.
Ultrasound? How would that help me solve gas leaks? Well, when gas or air is leaking out of a small hole, it makes a noise. This sound is often too high pitched for human ears to hear… But it’s there.
That’s where acoustic images like the CRY8124 come in. It is able to locate the source of these leaks by measuring the sound coming from a gas leak and providing a heatmap showing where it is.
Instead of spending hours—or even days—searching for leaks manually, the CRY8124 Acoustic Imaging Camera provides a fast, non-contact method of detection. By visualising high-frequency sounds, the camera pinpoints leaks in real-time, significantly reducing downtime and ensuring smooth operations.
Key Applications in Food & Beverage Leak Detection:
1. Air Compressor Room
Many food and beverage facilities rely on compressed air for packaging, conveyor systems, and other critical operations. Leaks in compressed air systems waste energy and reduce efficiency. The CRY8124 quickly scans for multiple leaks across an entire air compressor room, identifying problems before they impact production.
2. Packaging Production Line
Sealed packaging is crucial for product freshness and safety. Gas leaks in pneumatic components can compromise packaging integrity, leading to product spoilage and financial loss. With the CRY8124, you can instantly detect leaks in sealing systems, ensuring airtight packaging and consistent quality control.
3. Robot Assembly Line
Automated palletizing robots depend on secure pneumatic systems to handle products safely. Even minor leaks in these systems can lead to operational failures or costly maintenance downtime. The CRY8124 detects leaks in real-time, preventing disruptions and maintaining efficiency.
4. High-Pressure Boiler Room
Boilers generate the steam needed for cooking, sterilization, and cleaning processes. Steam leaks not only reduce energy efficiency but also pose burn hazards for workers. The CRY8124 identifies leaks in high-temperature environments, ensuring safety and optimal performance.
What makes the CRY8124 Unique when dealing with Food & Beverage Leak Detection?
Enhanced Food & Beverage Leak Detection: With the highest mic count in a handheld device, the CRY 8124 can detect gas leaks up to 200 meters away, meaning you can safely detect any leaks from a distance.
Background Noise Filtering: Its proprietary HyperVision algorithm isolates target sounds from other noise sources, giving you an extreme level of accuracy even in noisy environments.
Dual Thermal and Acoustic Imaging: The CRY 8124 combines thermal imaging with acoustic detection, allowing simultaneous visuals of thermal and ultrasonic data. This is especially useful in hot environments, where identifying temperature patterns aids in troubleshooting.
Operating up to 10 hours with replaceable batteries, the CRY 8124 is designed for continuous use in large facilities. Wireless data transfer and advanced reporting software simplify documentation, allowing for seamless sharing of inspection data.
Saving you time and money.
One of the best features of the CRY 8124 is it’s reporting capabilities. This camera is able to produce a report which would typically take hours, in just a few minutes. With information on the leak, the pressure levels, the DB, the location and even the amount of money you’re losing from the leak. All presented in an easy-to-read PDF with images of the leak included too.
So not only are you saving time on detecting the leak, but you’re also saving time on reporting on the leak. Altogether, you can do what could be a full days work in mere minutes with this camera.
Now imagine spreading this over a large facility, you could be saving hundreds of thousands with a camera like this.
