FAQs – Vacuum Leak Tester for Pouches and Sachets

Q1. What is the use of a Vacuum Leak Tester for Pouches and Sachets?
Answer:
The Vacuum Leak Tester is specifically designed to evaluate the seal integrity and packaging quality of flexible packaging materials such as pouches, sachets, and blister packs. It works by subjecting the sample to a vacuum inside a transparent chamber, which reveals the presence of leaks by displaying bubble formation. This helps manufacturers detect even the smallest pinholes, faulty seals, or micro leaks that could compromise the product’s safety and shelf life. It is especially important in industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and FMCG, where any leak can lead to contamination or product failure.

Q2. Is this tester suitable for the food industry?
Answer:
Yes, Pacorr’s Vacuum Leak Tester is ideal for use in the food industry where maintaining hygiene and packaging integrity is of utmost importance. It helps ensure that sealed food pouches, ready-to-eat meals, snacks, and sauces do not have any leaks that could result in spoilage, loss of freshness, or contamination during transportation and storage. By identifying leaks at the packaging stage, the tester supports food manufacturers in meeting safety regulations and delivering high-quality, tamper-proof products to consumers.

Q3. Does this machine comply with any international testing standards?
Answer:
Absolutely. Pacorr’s Vacuum Leak Tester complies with ASTM D3078, an internationally recognized testing standard for leak testing of flexible packages by bubble emission technique. This ensures that the testing method and equipment are aligned with global best practices, making it easier for manufacturers to meet regulatory requirements and export compliance. The machine provides consistent, repeatable, and reliable results in accordance with this standard, making it a trusted choice for quality control laboratories and packaging units.

Q4. Can the vacuum chamber size be customized based on product needs?
Answer:
Yes, Pacorr understands that packaging sizes vary across industries, which is why the Vacuum Leak Tester can be fully customized to accommodate different dimensions of pouches, sachets, and containers. Whether you are testing small pharmaceutical sachets or large food pouches, Pacorr offers flexibility in chamber size and capacity. Customization ensures better testing accuracy and prevents the need to compromise on sample size during quality control checks.

Q5. What is the price of Pacorr’s Vacuum Leak Tester for Pouches and Sachets?
Answer:
The price of the Vacuum Leak Tester can vary depending on the model (manual or pneumatic), the chamber size, pressure gauge type (digital or analog), and any additional customizations you may require. Generally, the cost ranges between ₹50,000 to ₹1.5 lakh. For an accurate and tailored quotation, it is recommended to contact Pacorr’s sales team directly. They can guide you on the best configuration for your application and budget.

Q6. How do I operate this machine for leak testing?
Answer:
Operating Pacorr’s Vacuum Leak Tester is simple and user-friendly. Start by placing the sample (pouch or sachet) inside the transparent vacuum chamber and secure the lid tightly. Then, use the valve to evacuate air from the chamber and create a vacuum environment. As pressure drops, observe the sample closely—any air leakage from the seal or material will result in a visible bubble stream. Once testing is complete, release the vacuum and open the chamber. The tester is designed for fast testing cycles, allowing you to check multiple samples efficiently.

Q7. Is specialized training needed to use the Vacuum Leak Tester?
Answer:
No specialized technical training is required to operate the Vacuum Leak Tester from Pacorr. The machine is designed with intuitive controls and comes with a comprehensive user manual and operating instructions. Pacorr also provides video tutorials and support to help your quality team get started. Anyone with basic training in quality assurance or packaging inspection can easily use the equipment. For companies looking to scale operations, Pacorr also offers live demonstrations and remote training upon request.

Q8. Can this tester be used for both dry and liquid-filled pouches?
Answer:
Yes, the Vacuum Leak Tester is suitable for testing a wide variety of flexible packaging types, including those filled with dry powders, granules, gels, or liquids. However, for liquid-filled pouches, extra caution is recommended to avoid any mess inside the chamber. Pacorr offers accessories and recommendations for safe testing of liquid-based packages. Leak detection in such pouches is just as effective, helping prevent leakage-related complaints and product recalls.

Q9. How frequently should I calibrate the Vacuum Leak Tester?
Answer:
To ensure consistent accuracy and compliance with testing standards, it is recommended to calibrate the Vacuum Leak Tester at least once every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage frequency and industry regulations. Regular calibration helps maintain the precision of the vacuum pressure readings and overall test reliability. Pacorr provides calibration support and certification services, allowing you to maintain a traceable quality system in line with ISO and GMP requirements.
