Important Measures to Enhance Shelf Life of Vacuum Leak Testers

Leakages found in the packagings of the eatables, sachets, packet and other FMCG product range, not only affects the quality of the product which is packed inside but also affects the goodwill of the business. Products that come with defective packaging generally refused to be purchased by customers and drastically changed their buying behavior. To ensure the proper functioning of the business 100% customer satisfaction is mandatory which can come in by beautiful packaging and acceptance among the customers.

One of the major properties that enhance the quality of the packaging is the Leak integrity. To ensure the quality of the packaging products, it is important to keep a check on the vacuum leaks of the products by using an appropriate testing machine.

Which is the best instrument for testing leak integrity of packages?

Pacorr’s Vacuum Leak Tester for packaging is one such highly effective testing machine that is used to perform the vacuum leak integrity of different packaging products such as pouches, bags, packaging films, sachets, tetra packs of juices and liquids, sauce pouches, etc. The lab testing machine will help you measure the leak integrity of packaging products. The instrument works on the vacuum pressure. Continuing the discussion, let’s read more about the working, applications, specifications and features of Vacuum Leak Detectors.

Vacuum Leak Tester: Best to Check the Seal Integrity of Packagings

Vacuum leak Detector is one of the most useful quality testing instruments that help you evaluate the seal integrity of packagings and help you in examining any sorts of leaks in a variety of packaging products. This superb lab testing machine provides you with superior quality testing of packaging products and helps you remove all the imperfections. This testing machine is designed like ASTM F 2338-09(2013), ASTM D 4991-07(2015).

Working Procedure of Vacuum leak tester for Packaging

During the testing process, the test sample is placed on the sample placement area and then a specified amount of vacuum is created inside the sample with the help of the machine. Creating the vacuum in the sample helps to test any type of leakage in the test sample with great preciseness. If there is a leakage in the specimen, it will either shrink or deform indicating the presence of leak in the test sample. The test is performed widely in packaging product manufacturing industries to ensure that the packaging offered to the clients is free from any leakage and is completely intact.

Continuing the discussion, in this blog we’ll discuss the major things that can help you maintain the shelf life of your laboratory testing instrument and perform maximum number of leak integrity tests using the same.

Checklist to Enhance Shelf Life of Vacuum Leak Tester

• Ensure zero vibration in the measuring needle. This can lead to damage to the gauge.
• Make sure that the pressure valve is completely closed during the test process.
• Immediately clean the desiccator if there is any spillage on the machine after the test.
• Keep the maximum pressure capacity of the machine as per the standards.
• Release the -(ve) pressure from the desiccator once the test is done.
• Never touch the machine when testing is going on.
