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.

If you are a pharmaceutical manufacturer looking to quality test your blister packs, contact us to find out how you can improve the quality of your production line.

Did you know that we carry a many more products?

Our clients prefer to work with us because we are Experts in Custom Fabrication (especially Polymer Fabrication). There is a tremendous amount of valuable resources and information regarding vacuum systems and vacuum technology; check them out by clicking on the links below.

Vacuum Oven Systems
Vacuum Ovens are vacuum chambers and ovens combined in one system. Vacuum ovens are necessary during processes which require the specimen to be subjected to a hypobaric and hyperthermal environment. Our Vacuum Oven Systems enable to you run a complete vacuum vs time and temperature vs time profile. We also carry portable vacuum oven systems and custom vacuum oven systems.
Wire Vacuum Feedthroughs
Wire Vacuum Feedthroughs are wires that are run from the outside of the chamber towards the inside of the vacuum chamber. We carry a wide variety of wires and wire gauges that can be used with any vacuum chamber.
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.
Related Articles: Force Decay Leak Testing
Force Decay Leak Testing is a very popular quantitative leak testing method used to quality test package and product integrity due to its ability to detect small leaks which cannot be seen through visual inspection. In this method, the test specimen is internally inflated by either internal pressurization or vacuum force. The inflated test specimen will, in turn, apply a force on a pressure transducer. Finally, the change in force applied by the inflated specimen over a specified time is observed.
