Container Closure Integrity Testing Chamber
Container Closure Integrity Testing is a critical Quality Control process used mostly by the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and many food industries. This quality control process ensures the safety and quality of closed containers and its ability to stay closed and maintain seal integrity throughout the life of the product. There are several ways to and methods used in the Container Closure Integrity testing. One of the most effective is the use of a vacuum chamber for several reasons. First, a vacuum chamber can be used to perform Dye Ingress Testing. Second, a vacuum chamber can be used for Vacuum Decay Testing. Third, a vacuum chamber can be used for heat seal integrity testing. And fourth, a vacuum chamber can be used as a vacuum bubble leak test.

A pharmaceutical company reached out to us because they wanted to have the ability to perform Container Closure Integrity Testing on a wide range of their products. They specifically asked for a vacuum chamber because of the four ways a vacuum chamber can be utilized in such test. We provided them with a cost-effective solution which we think should be present in any pharmaceutical company which is our top loading, spring supported hinged door; which keeps the lid open hands free, allowing the operator to operate the chamber with both hands without having to worry about the lid slamming back. The chamber inside dimensions are 10 inch Wide, 10 inch Deep, and 10 inch High. As a standard, each of our vacuum chambers comes with a vacuum valve, venting valve, and a dial vacuum gauge.

Various Regulatory agencies will ask you about your Container Closure Integrity Testing Protocols. If you are serious about product quality and are looking for a vacuum chamber to take product quality to the next level, reach out to us to see what we can make for you.

Vacuum Bubble Emission ASTM 3078 Leak Testing Systems
Bubble Emission (ASTM 3078) Leak Testing Systems are instruments that are used during the Quality Control process discover and locate leaks or seal integrity failures. Leaks are detected by submerging the specimen into a tank of water, applying a vacuum, and inspecting the submersed specimen for bubble emission. Our Bubble Leak Testing Systems are designed and built to conform to the ASTM D3078 protocol standard.
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: Vacuum Storage of Pharmaceutical Products and Medical Supplies
A pharmaceutical manufacturer contacted us to build them a large vacuum storage system for their pharmaceutical products. They were looking for as much footprint as possible which is why they got a two-chamber system from us. They needed a total of 6 shelves per chamber including trays. Finally, they were looking to have both chambers to be placed on a table frame assembly with lockable swivel casters. What you are seeing is a two chamber system, each chamber is our 20 inch cube acrylic vacuum chamber, front load hinged door. Each chamber can be accesses independently while the other is under vacuum. The trays can be easily loaded and unloaded. This whole system can also be moved to anywhere in their facility.
