This article covers the seal integrity testing of Breakfast bars, Chocolate candy bars, Crisped rice bars, Energy bars, Granola bars, Health bars, Protein bars, Fruit and Nut Bars, Meal Replacement Bars or any other food bar sealed with a flow wrapper.

Vacuum Sealed Packages

If you are vacuum sealing your packages, you are faced with a challenge when it comes to seal testing. How do you know that your process is consistently creating a good seal? How can you be sure that the vacuum inside you package will hold for the required amount of time?

Sachets Filled with Powder or Liquid

In this article, we will talk about how a vacuum chamber can be utilized as a tool to perform leak quality testing on Sachets filled with either powder or liquid. You can use an acrylic vacuum chamber or bubble leak test system to test for leaks in sachets filled with powder or liquid.

Spray Bottle Pump Leak Testing

In this article we will talk about several techniques used to quality leak test the pump of a spray bottle.

Quality Control of Seals and Seams of Canned Food or Food Containers

Food cans which are hermetically sealed or seamed are the most consumed type of food in the United States. Fully 60% of all food consumed in a given day in the US is either canned food or food from containers. Canned food seal failure can expose the consumer to an unnecessary amount of risk.

Altitude Package ASTM D6653 Leak Testing Systems

Altitude Package (ASTM D6653) Leak Testing Systems, or Testing Systems which test the effect of higher altitude on packages are vacuum systems that consist of a vacuum chamber, a vacuum controller, and a vacuum pump. The goal of these package testing systems is intended to test and investigate the effects of higher altitudes on the seal integrity, package quality, or container closure integrity.

Piston Vacuum Pumps

Piston Vacuum Pumps are devices that generate a vacuum through the workings of an internal piston. Several advantages of a piston pump include, low maintenance, no oil mist emission since it’s an oil free vacuum pump – the shortcoming are not as high of vacuum levels and volumetric flow.
