The challenge for industrialists is huge. Whether it is some medical product, food product, or consumer good, packaging essentially becomes the first defense line. In addition, porosity, weak seals, or weakening of the material itself causes poor seals, through which contaminated air from the surroundings penetrates to the product. Leakages are a worst-case scenario in products that have to preserve certain environmental conditions, such as moisture or controlled composition of air, to stay effective and safe.

Conventional leakage testing methods tend to miss such small but crucial leaks, and these products may get spoiled or even contaminated. With a sense of satisfaction and safety crumbling down, industrialists need a modern machine that confirms packaging remains in its original form. In this regard, behold, the Vacuum Leak Tester, is an advanced packaging integrity assurance solution.

HOW TO USE THE VACUUM LEAK TESTER

They have a systematic approach to utilize in testing to ensure that the integrity of the packaging or material undergoing testing is maintained. This follows a simple guide.

  • Place the Sample: This will be the product or packaging to be tested and placed inside the vacuum chamber.

  • Air removal: A vacuum pump starts removing the air from the chamber, thereby establishing a controlled vacuum environment around the sample.

  • Monitor Pressure: The chamber pressure is monitored to determine whether the fall in the vacuum represents leaks in the sample.

  • Inspection for Leaks Some samples are simply immersed in a liquid to see whether air bubbles escape and can thus be visibly observed as being emitted from the sample; this is one of the common signs of leakage.

  • Analyze Results: Within seconds after the test, any drop in pressure or visible leak will indicate the quality of the packaging and integrity of the seal.
