Bubble Emission System used in Production Quality Testing of Blister Packs

Blister Packs are a type of Preformed Plastic packaging mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry. For packaging pills or medication. We have also seen blister packs used in the medical device industry (for packing surgical tools or bio-implants) and electronics industry (packaging of microchips).

If you require to quality leak test your blister pack heat seals for proper seal, Bubble Leak Emission Tester is the simplest way to accomplish that. You are looking at our standard Bubble Emission Test System. This one is 12 inch Wide, 12 inch Deep, by 12 inch High. The vacuum pump is a venturi vacuum pump that uses compressed air to generate vacuum and evacuate the clear acrylic vacuum tank. The venturi pump can be actuated simply by toggling the air valve and letting the air flow into the venturi pump.

There are several advantages to using a venturi Vacuum Pump in a Bubble Leak Testing Application. One, there is no electricity required. Two, A venturi pump does not require oil or maintenance. Three, this system can be used on any table top with an air hook up. The cost is that a venturi vacuum pump is not as powerful and will not pull as much air out and go to as high of a vacuum – we are talking about 3.5 CFM at 26 inHg. This rating is enough for every bubble leak test out there.

Altitude Simulation Systems
Altitude simulation systems are devices that simulate a certain altitude equivalent by controlling the vacuum inside a vacuum chamber. Altitude is a function of absolute pressure, therefore if a certain pressure is accomplished inside a vacuum chamber, a specific altitude can be simulated from the set pressure. Altitude simulation systems can be configured to not only hold a certain pressure, a complete pressure vs time profile can be programmed to be run. Furthermore, pressure vs time recipes can be loaded and run based on test requirements.
Viewport Vacuum Feedthroughs
Viewports Vacuum Feedthroughs are windows that enable you to look into the inside of your vacuum chamber. If you are using a metallic vacuum chamber with a metallic lid, you will not be able to view the interior of your vacuum chamber unless you have a viewport. Viewports also enable a different electromagnetic spectrum of light to passthroughs.
Our Work: Altitude Testing in a Vacuum Chamber
It is not a secret that you can simulate a certain altitude in a vacuum chamber. The good thing about Acrylic Vacuum Chambers is not only that you can simulate an altitude of up to 250,000 feet, you can also fully view your test specimen during your testing operation.

In this article we will discuss the vacuum levels of an acrylic vacuum chamber. This article also covers the leak rate or the leak tightness of the acrylic chamber. Additionally, we are going to recommend a rule of thumb used for vacuum pump selection based on the size of the vacuum chamber.
