Secure Seal Tester

What Is a Secure Seal Tester?

A Secure Seal Tester is a laboratory testing instrument used to evaluate the seal strength and leakage resistance of bottle caps, closures, and neck joints. The instrument applies controlled internal pressure (through air or water) to verify whether the seal can withstand the required pressure without any leakage or deformation.

Pacorr’s advanced models allow you to record, monitor, and analyze pressure readings for complete quality assurance during packaging development or production.

How the Pacorr Secure Seal Tester Works

1. The sample bottle is clamped securely in a pressure chamber.
2. Air or water is injected gradually to simulate real-life internal pressure.
3. The instrument continuously monitors pressure levels until the seal fails or reaches the set limit.
4. Any visible leak or bubble formation indicates a seal integrity failure.
5. The reading is logged for data analysis or batch validation.

The system helps manufacturers maintain uniform capping torque, correct neck thread design, and ensure proper vacuum or pressure retention.

Real-World Case Study: Eliminating Leakage in Beverage Bottles

Client: Leading carbonated beverage manufacturer
Problem: Leakage during warehouse storage and transportation
Solution: Implementation of Pacorr Secure Seal Tester with 90 psi pressure validation
Outcome: Detected inconsistency in capping torque, adjusted parameters, and achieved 98% packaging reliability with zero leakage complaints

How to Operate the Secure Seal Tester

1. Fill the test bottle with water or the required test fluid.
2. Place and clamp the bottle securely inside the test chamber.
3. Increase internal pressure gradually using the control valve.
4. Observe for any air bubbles or liquid leaks.
5. Record the pressure at which failure occurs or mark “Pass” if no leakage is found.
6. Safely release the pressure and remove the sample.

Applications

• Soft drink and soda bottle testing
• Packaged water leakage testing
• Pharmaceutical liquids in HDPE or PET bottles
• Cosmetic products like shampoo, lotion, and oil
• Agrochemicals and lubricants packaging
• Aerosol cans and pressurized containers

Why Seal Integrity Testing Matters

• Prevents product loss and contamination
• Detects weak seals and improper closures before shipping
• Ensures regulatory compliance and packaging safety
• Builds customer trust and enhances brand image
• Reduces product recalls and operational waste
