Last week, our MOCON team stepped away from screens and into the local area to take part in the Earth Day initiative.

Together, we spent time collecting litter and helping improve our local environment — a small, practical action that reflects our shared responsibility to the communities we work in.
Sustainability isn’t only about technology and innovation.

It’s also about showing up, taking action, and doing what we can — locally.
Thank you to everyone who took part.

In April AMETEK MOCON employees spent the day volunteering with Second Harvest Heartland, packing food for distribution to food shelves across Minnesota.
Second Harvest Heartland sources food through bulk purchasing and donations—like these oranges from California—to help ensure consistent access to nutritious food for communities in need.
Proud of our team for supporting the important work that helps food reach the people who depend on it.

How do coatings really perform as barriers in food packaging?

At TAPPI CON, Joel Fischer (Lab Manager at AMETEK MOCON) will examine how OTR and WVTR testing, material structure, and package design influence barrier performance—from flat materials to finished packages.

The session highlights permeation testing, challenges with coated papers and edge effects, and why whole‑package testing often tells a very different story than material data alone.

Mix it up — on a high level.
High speed MAP lines demand more than just “correct” gas mixing. They need:
• Extreme accuracy
• Stable flow, regardless of gas volume
• Seamless integration with monitoring and control

That’s where high capacity electronic mixers like MAP Mix Provectus come into play, delivering precise 2 or 3 gas mixes for demanding packaging environments.

What often separates advanced mixers from basic alternatives isn’t just precision — it’s process integration:
• Continuous feedback from on line gas analyzers
• Automatic adjustment to stay within specification
• Reduced gas waste without compromising product quality

Compared to stand alone or manually adjusted systems, this closed loop approach helps ensure every package meets MAP requirements.

Because at scale, consistency isn’t just nice to have — it’s essential.

Choosing the right packaging materials is only half the story.
What really matters is how easily gases and moisture move through the material.

Different fruits and vegetables need different levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide and humidity to stay fresh. That’s why permeation rates — how easily gases and water v***r pass through packaging — are so important.

The goal is allowing just the right level of gas and moisture exchange to maintain freshness without causing dehydration, condensation or spoilage.

Understanding oxygen, CO₂ and water v***r transmission rates helps producers choose the right packaging — and set realistic, safe shelf life targets.

Discover how permeation testing plays a critical role in fresh produce packaging.

Mix it up — and switch it up. 🔄
Medium capacity packaging lines often juggle multiple products, package types and gas recipes. That’s where electronic gas mixing shines.

The MAP Mix Focus uses an electronic mixing principle to deliver stable, accurate gas mixes — and lets operators store multiple gas settings for fast, repeatable changeovers.

How does it help your packaging process?
• Real time visibility into gas flow and consumption
• Early warnings when supply gases are running low
• Reduced risk of error during product changes

In other words, it’s not just about accuracy — it’s about making accuracy easier in real world production environments.

Last month, AMETEK MOCON permeation expert Mike Kragness delivered his educational session, “The Critical Role of Water V***r Transmission Rate (WVTR) in Product Performance and Safety” at Converters Expo South 2026.

With more than 20 years of experience in material permeability and barrier performance, Mike broke down why WVTR is a critical performance factor across industries – from breathable healthcare products and PPE to high barrier electronics and solar panels.

By watching, you can learn how WVTR directly impacts product quality, performance and safety, and gain practical insights to apply across multiple applications.
