Measuring Device for Tubular Bag Packaging Machines

摘要

The invention relates to a measuring device, more particularly for a tubular bag packaging machine 1, to determine the concentration of at least one gas within a package 2 to be sealed, wherein it is possible to introduce a protective gas via a gas lance 3 into the package 2 to be sealed. The measuring device comprises an indicator 4, a light conductor 5, and an evaluation unit 6, wherein the indicator 4 is comprised of a fluorescent material, preferably a polymer material and arranged at the end of the light conductor 5 and within the package 2 to be sealed, wherein the evaluation unit 6 takes-up and evaluates an optical signal from the indicator 4 via the light conductor 5 to determine the concentration of the at least one gas.
