Machines
One method. Two ways to run it.
POLAR and VEGA use the same patented Probe Position Decay™ method. Choose by where in your process you need the answer: in the laboratory, or on every bag at line speed.
Laboratory · off-line
POLAR
Operator-loaded testing for batch release, stability studies and investigations.
In-line · production
VEGA
Fully automatic 100% testing on the filling line, with automatic rejection.

Two questions, one answer.
A first orientation. Our engineers confirm the right configuration with a feasibility study on your bags.
Side by side
Compare the specifications
Both machines need only an electrical supply. Final values depend on bag format, fill and the detection limit agreed for your project.
| POLAR | VEGA | |
|---|---|---|
| Test location | QA laboratory or production area | On the filling line |
| Testing | Samples, off-line | 100% of production, in-line |
| Leak detection | Down to 3 µm | Down to 1 µm |
| Speed | Cycle down to 4 s per bag | Up to 8 000 bags per hour |
| Bag volume | Up to 10 L | Up to 30 L |
| Loading | Manual, by an operator | Fully automatic, with rejection |
| Container contents | Solid, liquid or gas | Solid, liquid or gas |
| Utilities | Electrical supply only | Electrical supply only |
| Footprint · height | 0.6 × 0.9 m · 2 m | Configured to your line · 2 m |
Using both
The same method in the laboratory and on the line.
Because POLAR and VEGA measure the same way, laboratory investigations and in-line results can be compared directly. Many projects qualify the method on POLAR before an in-line VEGA installation.
