Leak Test Apparatus

Leak Test Apparatus is a solid state instrument designed for the leakage testing offood, drug and other industrial chemical products. The instrument is used to test thequality of packing processes in strips, blisters and sachets containing tablets,granulates and liquids. They are also used to check that the seals enclosing theproduct are perfectly intact.The unit contains a polycarbonate desiccator housing to sustain the vacuum forlong time. A compact vacuum pump for creating high vacuum level in short timeperiod is used.Test samples to be analyzed are placed into the polycarbonate desiccator housing.A vacuum pump generates vacuum inside the desiccator. The vacuum generated isheld for a pre-set time, and then released. The test samples being analyzed shouldretain their shape during this test, indicating the sealing is correct. Secondly thestrip/bottles under test are immersed in a colored dye solution (normally MethyleneBlue). The venting of the desiccators will allow any holes to be penetrated by thedye and the contents of the flexible packaging will also be stained with the samecoloring material.
