Make Your Plastic Pouches Leakage Proof with Vacuum Leak Testing

Plastic pouches are widely used for packaging products such as sauces, ketchup and other food items that are in the form of pastes and gels. Now these plastic pouches are responsible for keeping these products from spilling out of the package until they are opened so that their quality and quantity could be kept intact until they are used by the consumers. The manufacturers of the products need to ensure their safety and quality of the products hence they need to ensure that the plastic pouches they are using for their products are of best quality and are free from any leakage as any minor leakage can cause the products to spill out from the package very easily.

TO ensure that the packages are free from any leakage, they need to be tested through a procedure called vacuum leak testing. Vacuum leak testing is conducted by building a high amount of vacuum inside a closed chamber of an instrument called as vacuum leak tester. When the vacuum is built in the desiccator of the instrument and the specimen is placed in the desiccator; if the specimen does not have any leakages, it does not deflated but if the specimen has even a slightest leakage, it deflated and shrinks in its size. This helps in discarding the faulty plastic packaging pouched.

The vacuum leak test is really important and helpful for the manufacturers in ensuring that they have chosen the right packaging for their products and that their products will reach their customers in best of quality and intactness.
