Package Quality Control of Nutritional Supplement

Nutritional supplements have been popular since the invention of vitamin pills. Every day there is a new supplement, root, plant, and molecule promising break through benefits. Fortunately, nutritional supplements have their benefits and when coupled with a heathy lifestyle, nutritional supplements have the power to improve our lives enormously.

When manufacturing and packaging supplements, it is vital that the manufacturer properly seals the product. A good seal will extend the shelf life of the product while protecting the consumer.

The simplest package quality test that can be performed on heat sealed nutritional supplements is the dry vacuum test. The dry vacuum test will confirm two things. First, the test will confirm that the heat sealed items can be transported by air and at higher altitudes. Second, the test will confirm quality heat seal integrity of the batch.

All that is needed is a Transparent Vacuum Chamber, connection hardware, and a vacuum pump. We offer vacuum chamber with pump systems tailored specifically to your project needs. Contact Us to find out how we will help you immensely.

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.
D-SUB Vacuum Feedthroughs
D-Sub Vacuum Feedthroughs are universal connectors that enable you to connect from the outside towards the inside of your vacuum chamber. We carry a large list of D-subminiature connectors for your vacuum applications such as the 9 pin, 15 pin, 25 pin, 37 pin, and 50 pin or a combination of any described.
Our Work: High Altitude Vacuum Testing of Electrical Connectors and Components
This was an interesting project where one of our customers needed to test wires up to 44 inches long within a high altitude simulation environment. In addition to testing wires, several other electric connectors required altitude testing as well. The altitude requirements were 100,000 feet (30.510 km) which corresponds to 8.36 Torr - a piece of cake when it comes to the vacuum requirements of our chambers.

An Acrylic Vacuum Chamber can be used to simulate elevation very reliably to altitudes up to 60.9 km or 200,000 feet. This provides several advantages over other testing methods as acrylic is transparent and enables full view of interior during testing. In this article, we will give you a through guide on what can be done to eliminate the risk of packaging damage during shipments at high altitudes.
