Combat Ration Network for Technology Implementation. Multiple-Unit MRE Leak Detector
Abstract
This activity was to perform a Short Term Project under the CORANET PARTNERSHIP, SPO 103-96-D-00l6. The overall objective of this project is to assist the MRE producers in their identification and acquisition of leak detection systems that can be used in the MRE production process. To accomplish this objective, several subobjectives have been established which will identify the location within the production facility where leaky pouches can best be detected, the multiple unit testing configuration, materials handling and data collection, and cost/benefits. This STP uses the baseline leak detection system, ATC-3, and determine the impact of such variables as pouch temperature and cartoning. This work will form the basis for assisting the MRE producers in selecting systems for in-line plant use and startup of that equipment.
