Food Packaging Seal Integrity Testing
Manufacturers conduct regular testing of the packaging seal integrity to ensure that the content are protected against any foreign contaminants. Package integrity are crucial to ensure safety of your product as external substances such as oxygen can accelerate the decomposition of your products. Therefore, it is extremely essential to incorporate the highest standard of testing in the production line.
There are many ways in which the packaging of your product can be compromised, which can be from the faulty machinery, packaging materials. Most of the times, it may only require slight adjustment to the process parameters in the packaging machinery. Leak testing can pinpoint the exact location of leaks, which helps operators to identify the problematic machinery and make the necessary adjustment. As the results, you can be sure of the quality of your packaging and ensure that the customers can enjoy your products at their freshest possible state.
At Sealtick, we specialise in the design, manufacture and supply of non-destructive packaging leak integrity testers for the food and pharmaceutical manufacturers. For these industries, it is imperative to make sure that the packages are properly sealed against external contamination as the consequences of contamination may be fatal and costly. However, our products can be used to test any types of packaging as long as they contain headspace.
Package Seal Integrity Testing Equipment
We have supplied a wide range of Package Seal Integrity Testing Equipment globally, including underwater bubble leak detectors and non-destructive pressure decay leak testers. Both offer different benefits to checking the package seal integrity.
With our Bubble Leak Detector , you can detect leaks in the packaging by observing a stream of bubbles rising from the leaking site. This bubble leak detector operates by submerging the packages underwater and then applying a vacuum. . Operators visually detect the defective packages and inform the engineers of the leak locations so that adjustments can be made.
The pressure decay leak tester is a non-destructive, semi-automated leak testing device for leak testing of flexible packaging. Different from the conventional underwater leak tester, the Package Seal Integrity Testing Equipment machine simply detects leaks based on the vacuum decay pressure, measured with highly sensitive differential pressure transducer. The leak quantification method will be programmed in the device. After testing, the good packages can be returned to the production line. It can also be modified, for example, as trolley-based design to allow better mobility and testing of larger sizes packaging.
With our non-destructive leak tester, you can be sure that you will get it right in your packaging testing process and ensure the products have the maximum shelf-life, while minimising production waste. This test also ensures that the products are protected against foreign contaminants during the supply chain cycle.
Depending on your products, we will be able to offer Food Package Seal Integrity Testing Equipment that suit your needs. . We can supply off-the-shelf leak testers but we can also custom-made leak testers to suit your requirement.
