Leak Quality Testing and Quality Control of Packets

Quality Control during Production runs is a very important procedure you must perform on your manufactured products. This is especially critical is you are an FDA manufacturer where regulatory compliance is important and necessary. Our Vacuum Chambers are specifically built to assist you meet your Quality Control and Regulatory compliance needs.

This is a custom Bubble Leak Testing System that has been converted to a vacuum and pressure chamber. There are several cool tests that can be performed with this system. The first test is a dry vacuum test which can be used to vacuum leak test products such as heat-sealed pouches or trays. The second test is a bubble leak test. This is performed by filling the acrylic vacuum tank with water and submersing the pouches underwater and looking for bubbles. The lid has a package restraining mesh which keeps inflated specimen from buoying upwards during the bubble emission test. The third test is a pressure test meaning that this chamber can be safely pressurized up to pressure between 5 to 15 PSIG. You do not have to think about adjusting your pressure in order to keep below the specified overpressure because this system has a safe pressure relief valve that will pop open if the pressure has reached more than 10 PSI Gauge Pressure. Of course, there is also a water drain valve located on the bottom wall of the chamber.

This system comes with an Oil Free Piston Vacuum Pump which does not emit oil mist into its surrounding. The vacuum pump does not require much maintenance either. You can see that the pump has a Vacuum Pump Protection Valve which will prevent any water from entering the vacuum pump. The Lid is fully removable and versatile. This is a table top system intended to be operated inside a clean laboratory or an FDA manufacturing facility as part of Quality Control.

Force Decay Leak Testing Systems
Force Decay Leak Testing Systems are instruments that detect and quantify leaks in a test specimen through measuring the drop in force an inflated specimen applied onto a pressure transducer. The specimen is placed into a vacuum chamber, a vacuum is pulled, and the test sample inflates. As the test sample inflates, it applied a specific force onto the force transducer. This force is measured and recorded over time. If a leak exists, the specimen will deflate and lose pressure, as a result, the force it applies onto the force transducer will decrease. This in turn will enable for detection and quantification of a leak in the specimen.
Altitude Simulation Controller Instruments
An Altitude simulation Controller is type of vacuum controller that simulates a certain altitude because altitude can be derived from vacuum levels. An altitude simulation controller will enable you to hold your vacuum level at a certain altitude equivalent of testing, run an altitude vs time profile, or rate of change of altitude vs. time. Further options include a vacuum pump relay that will control when the vacuum pump turns on and a vacuum valve.
Our Work: Modified 14 inch Cube Vacuum Chamber for Degassing
This custom job was a modification to our standard acrylic vacuum chambers. When it comes to working with the Us Military, they want all specs to be met 110% and they want it yesterday. The military does not mess around which is why they came to us since we know how important it is to meet specs and ship fast.
