Presto’s Vacuum Leak Tester: The Leak Detection Expert You Can Trust

An airtight pack requires, industries involved in food, beverage, pharmacy, and cosmetics, to prevent product damage. Packaging in an airtight manner helps preserve the freshness of the product, avoid contamination, and achieve the shelf life. Packaging failure can be devastating in cases where leaks occur, which could lead to spoilage and contamination and huge losses in financial terms. That is where innovative solutions like the Vacuum Leak Tester Prima Series offer capabilities beyond the ordinary in ensuring packaging meets stringent quality standards.

Introducing Presto’s Vacuum Leak Tester

A vacuum leak tester is an appliance used to detect leaks in a packaging system with the help of vacuum pressure. It can be viewed as creating a controlled low-pressure environment inside an isolated container and testing for any loss in pressure.

Why Presto?

We are a leader among vacuum leak test equipment manufacturers. We ensure excellence in every aspect of leakage testing machines for pouches and other packaging solutions.

How Does It Work?

The principle of vacuum-based testing relies on establishing a vacuum within the sealed package. The pressure inside that package is monitored. If that package is leaking, outside air enters, and this will affect the vacuum pressure. 

The pressure change is sensed by sensors in the vacuum leak tester machine and alarms the operator. The system is sensitive enough to detect even the smallest leak, meaning only those packages that are completely sealed are allowed to pass on to the next production stage.

Metrics Used:

Maximum Force or Pressure Applied: The vacuum test machine applies a specific level of vacuum pressure (usually measured in millibars or Pascals) according to the package's specifications. For example, a pressure of 1000 millibars may be applied to simulate real-world conditions.

Vacuum Holding Time: The tester can also measure how long a package will be able to hold the vacuum pressure. If the package is not able to sustain the vacuum for the duration required, then it is leaky.

Leak Detection Formula:

Leak Rate = ΔP/ΔT

Where:

• ΔP = Pressure difference (measured in pascals)
• ΔT = Time for the pressure change to occur

This formula is the quantification of the leaking rate of a package. Critical data for manufacturers in product quality decisions using the bubble leak test equipment for packaging.

Do's and Don'ts of the Vacuum Leak Tester Prima Series

Do’s

• Calibrate regularly to obtain accurate results.
• Keep the testing environment clean and dry to avoid contamination.
• Operate the tester strictly as per the manufacturer's instructions.
• Check the seals on the vacuum leak test chamber from time to time to ensure they remain airtight.

Don’ts

• Do not overload the tester with packages that are not designed for vacuum testing.
• Avoid making sudden changes in pressure as it may damage the vacuum leak detection equipment or result in wrong readings.
• Do not ignore any error messages or alerts from the tester.

Maintenance Tips

• Periodic Calibration: Vacuum Leak Testing Equipment must be calibrated at intervals specified by the manufacturer or the frequency of use.
• Cleaning: The vacuum test chamber and sensor should be cleaned at regular time intervals in order not to cause buildup on any parts, which would disrupt the testing accuracy.
• Seals Inspection: There should always be an inspection on seal and gasket wear and tear, so the seal remains tight.

FAQs

How frequently should the Vacuum Leak Tester be calibrated?

The calibration must be done at least once every three months, or more frequently if it is kept in continuous use.

Does Vacuum Leak Tester Prima Series check all types of packaging?

Yes, the Vacuum Leak Tester Prima Series is supposed to test all types, such as bottles, pouches, and other vessels used in the food industries, pharmaceutical industries, as well as cosmetic industries, among others.

During testing, what is the highest pressure? 

With the Vacuum Leak Tester Prima Series, the applied pressure range is between 500 millibars and 1000 millibars depending on the packaging material and specifications.
